House of Stokeswood

House Stokeswood is a very old noble family of Lordaeron. Their seat is Silverstone Keep, a grand castle in the region of Everbright. Their sigil is a black-and-white tilled soil between two swords, in a grey field. It represents two notable aspects of their land: the production of iron and agriculture.

Finally, their words are "Look No Further", as a remind to friends and enemies alike.

Origins
Long ago, when the Empire of Arathor began to crumble, a band of like-minded people, led by Edric Stokeswood journeyed northeastern. Eventually, they settled in a land composed of many green hills and valleys, the terrain ideal for farming.

Therefore, Edric decided there was likely no better place for his brethren to stay. Soon, the common folk started to till the soil, harvest and feed themselves.

Wardens of Everbright
More at Stokeswood Reconquest After the Scourge onslaught, there were not many noble Houses that survived. Williert Stokeswood seized this opportunity, and declared, by right of conquest, lordship over all Everbright.

In fact, this has only been possible because the Stokeswoods' ancient rival, House Clatter, is presumely extinct. The only families still alive are not capable of matching the power of the Lord of Silverstone, given that through political manipulation and shrewd actions, Williert Stokeswood marshaled a powerful force following the reclamation of Silverstone.
