Valewood

House Valewood
House Valewood was founded at the end of The War of the Orc, having been founded after the Orcs had fled North, earning it's fief from GreenWall as their patriach proved himself in the seige of GreenWall, their land is located to the west of GreenWall, deep in GreenWood. Their castle overlooking one of GreenWall's most productive Lumbermills, but much to the anger of Valewood, the mill is not truly apart of their lands and is not able to lay claim onthe lumber produced from it. Valewood's patriach's title is "Watcher of the deep."

Valewood's banner is just like GreenWalls, but with a shield sending out rays of golden light in the background. Their motto is "The West's lords"

Founding
During The War of the Orc, GreenWall came under siege by the Orc horde, a siege that nearly ended the GreenWall's legacy, during the course of the siege several men shined like stars admist the chaos, of those men was Kanis Valewood, till then he was but a faceless soldier in the forces of GreenWall, but in that night, Valewood was a shinning beacon of hope, inspiring hope in his men and dread in the Orc's hearts. Valewood didn't allow the Orcs one inch of ground that they didn't bleed for. In the final stages when the men were forced back into the Keep, Valewood saved the patriach of GreenWood's life, not once, but several times, with each save costing Valewood several wounds. In the end after the Kastrans came and helped GreenWood break the Orc's siege, GreenWall's patriach rewarded Valewood's service with a fief. Granting him and his family land and title.
