House Pontirun is a noble merchant house in the Duchy of Urnst and one of the three largest houses in the duchy is led by Count Taran Pontirun.[1][2] House Pontirun deals mostly with foodstuffs; its power is mostly from its size (it is the largest house, personnel-wise), but it is struggling with the bureaucratic problems within itself. Although headquartered in Goldplain, the workers of House Pontirun can be seen on every trade route in or near the Duchy. One of the problems the House is facing is the logistic.[3] Their house colors are green and yellow.[4]

They declared for Strong Harts in 596 CY and support Lord Ellis Lorinar as Regent after Duke Karll's disappearance in 595 CY.[5]

Resources
