	There are many important [[Marcher_household\|households]], [[Landskeeper\|landskeeper circles]], [[Market_town\|market towns]], and [[Monastery\|monasteries]] in [[the Marches]]. Despite the number, only a comparative handful are involved in the affairs of the Empire (that is, attend the seasonal summits at Anvil). Their influence can wax and wane, and involvement in Imperial affairs is not always a reflection of their prominence within the nation itself. This page presents in-character information about the groups that attend, or have attended, [[Anvil]] — the kind of thing that someone who asked about them might uncover from talking to their peers. In each case, the information is provided by the players and edited before being put on the wiki.

 Although having been everpresent through the history of the Marches, the Kinahans have only recently begun to hold higher aspirations and reach out. They are best known for their absolute loyalty to the household, unnecessary hoarding of food and their strange distaste for all orcs.

 More recently, the Boundaryfolk have concentrated their efforts on protecting the Empire from threats of a more sorcerous nature. Always happy to share their fire with newcomers, some of them have even made Winterstoke their home. Beating the bounds is a dangerous life, but Upwold’s safety is a rewarding harvest!

 The influence of prominent briars made the village one of the first to openly welcome briars, and briar children are unusually common in the area.

			* '''Location:''' Tower March, Upwold
			* '''Livery:''' Yellow and green
			* '''Motto:''' “King's Stoke, first and always: first to march, first to stand, first to break the king"
			* '''Steward:''' Watkin
			The villagers of King's Stoke proudly trace their history to the first Marchers who settled in Upwold and repelled Dawn at the Battle of King's Stoke. The village has remained prominent in the Marches, with several notable, historical figures.

			In Anvil, King's Stoke runs the oldest Marcher tavern, The Mandowla's Arms. Several Imperial titleholders have come from the village since the death of Empress Britta, and it has commissioned historical research. Away from Anvil, the village welcomes friends annually to its remembrance of the dead and celebration of harvest, the King's Stoke Wassail.

			During invasions of the Mournwold, the village has found itself on the frontier with Jotun territory. Accordingly, it has always been proud to be represented on the battlefield; while losses mean it no longer fields the full bill block it once did, there is rarely a battle where the livery of King's Stoke is not represented.

			The influence of prominent briars made the village one of the first to openly welcome briars, and briar children are unusually common in the area. The village has opened its doors to briars rejected by other parts of the Marches and offered space in Tilly's Orchard for burials, giving the village the occasional nickname “the briar patch”.

			* '''Livery:''' Green & Blue
			* '''Motto:''' Remember to return
			* '''Symbol:''' Salmon spear pointed downwards
			* '''Steward:''' Roy Selwyn
			House Selwyn make their living and their name through the tight control of the rivers that run through their lands in Ottermire. The household is deeply tied to the river's salmon, which return each year to spawn, supposedly inspiring their motto, "Remember to return." The majority of the household is made up of farmers, fisherfolk and sailors tutored by its friars primarily preaching Prosperity, Wisdom and Courage, but most walks of life are found and welcomed within their numbers.

			Their most sacred holding is that of the Silver Dolmen, a slumbering Autumn regio surrounded by apple trees that stands on an island splitting the river’s mouth. It serves as a burial ground for the fallen as well as a gathering place for the landskeepers that ally themselves with the household.

			Fearful of the elevation of House Greywater’s status in Bregasland and the expansion of Eel’s Landing by Emperor’s decree, members of the Selwyn household first ventured to Anvil in the season following its construction, eager to build up their own name and ensure no poacher would build up enough courage to visit their lands.
