Elder Grove Nobles

The noble families of the Trowbridge include: Delayn (Challenger or Protector of the Elder Grove): The Delayn family holds a unique position of authority, acting as the protectors of the Elder Grove and the forest itself. The head of the Delayn family has veto power over council decisions, though this veto can be overruled by a unanimous vote from all other family elders. Overruling a veto is rare, as it requires complete agreement among the elders, but it serves as a safeguard against potential misuse of power. Barclay (Birch): Known for their diplomacy and trade relations with other races. Hickory (Bitternut): Skilled in crafting and woodworking, they provide the community with tools, furniture, and art. Ellery (Alder): Known for their knowledge of herbalism and healing, they serve as the community’s caretakers. Oren (Pine): Responsible for agriculture and foraging, ensuring the community is well-fed. Orrick (Old Oak): The oldest and most respected family, often seen as the spiritual leaders of the Trowbridge. Tanne (Fir): Guardians of the forest, responsible for hunting and defense. smaller councils have been established to manage specific aspects of community life, such as trade, agriculture, and defense. These councils report to the Elder Grove, ensuring that decisions are made with the input of those most affected.
