House Kruske is an old noble merchant house in the Duchy of Urnst, led by Lord Maeltan Kruske with their primary holdings in Koken County.[1] Their house colors are white, green, and red.[2]
Before the Temple Coalition Revolt, the House was moderately powerful, with connections to many Houses and three seats on the Honorable Chamber due to its religious influence. As a result, after the Revolt, they lost its three seats in the chamber 571 CY.[2]
Members of House Kruske are encouraged to find their own calling and often seek out religious knowledge from all across the realm; however, no member of House Kruske has ever worshipped a non-Seul deity.[3]
They declared for White Harts in 596 CY and believe Lord Jolen Lorinar, the Duke's son, should have been Regent after Duke Karll's disappearance in 595 CY.[4]
Resources
House Kruske uses their connections to provide backing for other families like House Kilbourne allowing both to thrive.
House Kruske created the Order of the Sovereign Remedy in 572 CY with support from Duke Karll Lorinar to provide "hospital" services in Lower Seltaren as an olive branch of support after the Temple Coalition Revolt.[5]
