[Politics] House of Kane

House Kane
___


The Kane name was resurrected from obscurity through the efforts of Alistair Kane. He was the son of a northern nobleman whose influence burned out before he had a chance to grow the family name. In time, Alistair surpassed his father’s reach through dealings with various governments throughout the Northern Kingdoms. Upon his marriage to Niah Kane, formerly Niah Dacar, the pair quietly worked toward the same goals of furthering the House’s influence, particularly in the North.

With time however, despite their efforts, House Kane became quiet and the Northern vassals quieter still. Lady Niah died to a sudden illness, and Lord Alistair travelled north and held himself up in the fortress of Blackmount, not to be seen again. Victor Kane, the only son, vanished some time after. And the bonds with Fuvurs grew distant, despite the familial ties.
After a tourney in Reignfall Alison Kane accepted a politcal marriage to Prince Edmund Hallon, with promises of uniting their lands, and allowing her to take Queens Port under her own rule rather than that of her Father. The Lord of de Courtnay, Sebastien, was overseer of Queens Port for her Father, though later vowed his allegiance to Edmund and Alison instead, and served as regent in their absence.

The threat of the undead later took the lands Alison Kane had fought to retake, though with the strength of her marriage and support of de Courtnay, she has recreated Queensport and now governs the lands of Kalstaat, encompassing all northern regions of Anhald in the new lands.

Alison Kane is the Lady of House Kane, and though it is a strong house, there are no current heirs and she is the sole member holding the name.

{ TRIVIA }
  • Alison Kane took the House from her Father, after renouncing him. He's rumoured to be still around somewhere.
  • The old sigil of the House whilst under Alistair Kane was a black diamond, his nickname in youth.
  • Kane colours are Black, and Gold. Many banners also contain Dark Grey.
  • Green eyes are a persistent trait to those born of Kane.
  • Secretly, Niah and Alistair Kane had a shrine to 'The World Below'. It was interpreted perhaps differently from what they believed by their daughter, and later formed into the House motto.
  • In the Northern Kingdoms, they referred to their lands as 'The Iron Lands', as a result of the rich mines of iron they had access to.
  • The current family heirloom is an obsidian pendant, given to Alison by her Mother who also wore one.
  • Ciaria Caedit was the architect for most of the Kane holdings, and her work is kept securely as to replicate the styles by Sebastien de Courtnay.
  • A white fox is the animal upon Kane banners. It also depicts a tall column behind it.

Lands and Holdings
_


House Kane governs over all the lands of Kaltstaat. While some are vassals, and some are not, Princess Alison is still their Governess.



{ Barony of Queensport }
Link to Thread: { x }

The capital city within Kalstaat, ruled over by Princess Alison Kane and allowing Sebastien de Courtnay to be regent should she be absent. Together they have began to rebuild what they once had, and though it is not fully completed, it is fit to hold the noble's ball in the large palace that looks over the rest of the port. Queensport is the only sea port of Anhald, and as such, will expect high amounts of traffic in the future. Imports and Exports are the focus.

The Inquisition is also positioned here, though the fort is yet to be constructed. They are not beneath Kane, they answer to the Kaiser and Ignis only.

While House Cordenth are not vassalised to House Kane, their lands are still within her county. A fortress on the west coast, south of Queensport, they hold a defensive position.

{ County of Eberland }

Lands in the more southern parts of Kalstaat, which include farmland further south - Ackerlander - extending the borders into warmer lands. Die Eberbau is the capital of Eberland, which watches the southern borders between Marienstaat and Kalstaat. While House Eberhall is a Kane vassal, they also have their own vassal house, House MacRammbar, which holds lands further north of Die Eberau - Rammbar's Motte. The County of Eberland provides wheat and ales.

{ Harrister Lands }

As the Inquisition was recently moved to be within Kalstaat, Kane has also granted Harrister lands that he would've lost otherwise. Under the condition his lands contain mines to supply Queensport.
