The Family Carmoer

The Family Carmoer by Clyde Mooney, on Flickr
History and Rulers:
The family line of Carmoer is a long and old one, reaching back to before Lenfald was a province, and was one of the first families to adopt the dragon insignia. The estate is not large nor overly wealthy, and is mostly owned and ruled by Lord Gareth, pictured center along with his wife, Lady Annelia. Their nephew and intended heir is Sir Daren, son of Gareth's brother Lord Darek. Next to Daren is his sister, Deidre, and his mother, Lady Katherine. Also pictured is Gareth's sister Lady Eloise along with her husband, the honorable Paxton of Durrough who is one of Gareth's main administrators of his estate. Also pictured is Horace, the son of Gareth's cousin, who has always been close to the family.
Location:
Lord Gareth and Lady Annelia live at Carmoer Castle, an ancient stone fortress near Durrough whose foundations were originally of Moroastrian creation in ancient times, and the stronghold has belonged to the family in all known records. Paxton and Lady Eloise live in one of the castle rooms, and Daren has his own room, having lived much of his life at the castle. Lord Darek and Lady Katherine, Daren's parents, live at one of the manor houses and a small holding of land that is part of the greater estate. Carmoer family is an example of one of the not-so-powerful feudal Lenfald lords. Lord Gareth maintains a handful of footmen to defend his castle and patrol his lands. His military force seems meager when visited by his nephew's Swords of Daren mercenary unit.
Politics and Economy:
Lord Gareth has managed his estates well, and does not hurt for funding, but puts much of his wealth back into the land and the livelihoods of the villages and peasants who live there. Gareth is well liked by both his vassals and his neighbors. Rarely getting involved in Lenfal politics, he usually supports Grand Duke Cartney's initiatives and plans, both from personal agreement and the geographical proximity of the two. He is not too interested in war, but is quick to support the war effort through the grains and bountiful fruits grown on his estate, though not as much through arms or manpower. The Carmoer estate includes an extensive section of forest, and roving bandit groups that have organized since Queen Galainir's fall have required Gareth to begin recruiting some rangers to help patrol this part of his lands. While not a major military source, bowyers and fletchers living on Carmoer lands are known to produce exquisite and strong bows and are major arrow producers. For this reason, local archery tournaments are held frequently, and even several larger tournaments have been hosted by Lord Gareth and his predecessors.
