House of Ravenholde

The House of Ravenholde is an aristocratic line of the Kingdom of Alterac, which was all but wiped out in the male line following the destruction of Alterac. The house was founded in the year 324 K.C. by General Charles Ravenholde when he was made Earl of Wintervale and given control of a large, mountain fortress overlooking a small village and several thousand acres of farm land. He took the family name Ravenholde from the fortress of Raven Hold, which had existed on the six thousand acre estate since shortly after the split of the Empire of Arathor. Charles was offered a marriage to a minor Royal (Isibel Perenolde) for his many contributions to the Kingdom's defense, and created Earl of Wintervale. Through numerous political marriages, the house of Ravenholde is related to several prominent Alteraci families, including the Dunhams of Farrowdale, who were Dukes before the destruction of Alterac.
