“Once a name of silk and steel—noble bloodline, rich with southern vineyards, trading alliances with the Feywild, and elite mercenary contracts through Neverwinter. Our crest graced ballrooms, war halls, and even the occasional bard’s tale.”

— Lady Vaerra Vexmoor

General Information

House Vexmoor is a once-prestigious noble family now in sharp decline, politically exiled to the edge of the world. They are known for their past military contracts, Feywild trade pacts, and vineyard holdings. The name still commands respect—but just enough to be ignored politely.

Short Summary: Broke, magically blacklisted, and politically isolated.

Structure

Key Figures

• Lord Darius Vexmoor
• Leader of the house. Stoic, burdened, and prideful. Once courted by courts and kingdoms alike, now struggling to hold walls against collapse. He chose his daughter’s life over a Fey bargain—forever altering their fate.
• Lady Vaerra Vexmoor
• Only daughter and de facto heir. Manages daily operations in Fort Leilon. A sharp mind born too early into duty, she balances diplomacy and survival, and wears her inherited titles like armor.
• Ser Jendric Vexmoor
• Eldest son, working quietly in Neverwinter to manage debts, salvage alliances, and monitor threats against the family name. Unseen but not idle.
• Calistra Vexmoor (Deceased)
• Wife of Lord Darius. Her death was the emotional breaking point of the house, rarely spoken of but never forgotten.

History

What Happened?

• The Vineyards: Gutted by fire. Possibly arson. Insurance disputed. Allies whisper but do nothing.

• Mercenary Contracts: Revoked after financial mishandling. Lobbying by House Valmere ensured the fallout was swift.

• The Fey Accord: Broken. A carefully negotiated pact collapsed after one failed shipment. Lord Darius chose his daughter’s life over the pact’s demands. The cost? Their magic, their favor, their fortune.

A title whispered in the courts after Darius ended the Fey trade pact.

Holdings & Assets

• A crumbling estate in Neverwinter, haunted in every sense.

• A nearly-depleted vault for Fort Leilon’s repairs.

• Governing rights to Fort Leilon, including taxation, militia oversight, bounty commissions, and trade charters.

Mystical & Social Consequences

• Fort Leilon may be cursed. Fey trickery or retribution? Supplies vanish, tools move, laughter echoes where no one stands.

• The greater Fey remain silent—for now.

Crest

A dark, imperial castle silhouetted beneath a crescent moon. Seven golden stars represent the ancient accords—now dimmed, but not forgotten.
