House Mercantus

House Mercantus is a fledgling house sworn to House Blok in the North, and has recently become rulers of Yanmass. The head of the house is Gruud Mercantus.

Rise to Power
House Mercantus seized the the rich trading lands of Yanmass by the Prince Stavian incentive program. Gruud hired a small army of militia to oust the dissenting House Dumas from the castle, and from power. He ordered the Dumas family publicly executed. Prince Stavian created House Mercantus, and conferred the title Lord of Yanmass upon Gruud the next day.

House Mercantus has a general low standing in the eyes of other noble families. It is seen as ill-begotten and dishonourable.

Sigil
