Keetes House

Keetes House
Keetes House is often the heart of Noble activity in the Duchy of Kentillie, and serves as the main hub in which the peerage can congregate at any given time. Though its main use may be for those purposes, it also serves as a center for diplomacy and often houses both Kentillie’s ambassadors and others. Dozens of important trade deals with other duchies and organizations within the realm of Gilneas were enacted at this site, along with the signing of several of Kentillie’s most progressive law reforms. Keetes House long stood as a beacon of progression for the Duchy of Kentillie, offering new opportunities and advancements in society to Kentillie’s people what seemed to be every other day.

The Forsaken Intrusion
At the beginning of the Forsaken Intrusion, however, Keetes was quickly evacuated and abandoned by those with noble blood and those with need to rush back into the vicinity of their own lands to warn their people. In the earliest days of the invasion, Keetes was re-utilized as a community center for those evacuating from Knaerwood and other Gilnean settlements in the north. Small meals and protection was offered, and many orphaned by the events were taken in by those now running Keetes. Most of this changed within the week, as the Forsaken troops moved ever forward.

Reclamation and Rescue
Now, Keetes House sits quietly on the Western edges of the Duchy of Kentillie. A swift assault on the House left many of those harboring refugees and evacuees dead, with only a handful surviving to gather up what was left to take. This did not include every orphan taken in though. Nearly a dozen children were left to the hands of the Forsaken.
