Many fantasy settings have a quasi-medieval or quasi-feudal nature. Such settings will have noble families who are both powerful and wealthy. These families can be a source of adventure hooks for characters, whether this be as patrons who wish the characters to do jobs for them or as foes whose power makes them a constant thorn in characters’ sides.
This is a collection of thirteen different families that can be dropped into a setting. The families are described, but not individuals in them. Details are given on such as a family’s history, behaviour, influence and power.
Here are the families:
- Dredger
- Tercel
- High Hall
- Storvall
- Stargazer
- Far Walker
- Crowbeak
- Silver
- Blackbriar
- Flinders
- Causeway
- Hathway
- Stonejaw
Reviews for A Baker’s Dozen of Noble Families
“Each noble house has a unique schtick that makes them notable while still being easily dropped in to nearly any fantastical kingdom, and each one has hints of meat and mystery that can be kept as is or expanded upon at the user’s choice.”
Dara W. (five stars)
“An interesting assortment of Noble families for a fantasy feudal society.”
