House of Oldentower

The House of Oldentower is the ruling feudal family of Steinslott, and formerly the Oldentower. They have close ties with the Baddies family.

History
The primogenitor of the House of Oldentower, Sniper_Aimb0t I, first enters the pages of history as a lonely Shizen'na michi monk voyaging through the world of Rathnir, documenting his findings along the way. One day, he sought refuge from a thunderstorm inside the ruins of a small cobble tower surrounded by overgrown and ruined fortifications. Once the storm cleared, he decided to settle the land, upgrading the tower to be made of stone brick. Soon he was joined by his friend, Chrisorli, the primogenitor of the Baddies family, and together they made themselves a tiny lordship. This realm would only last until the sudden murder of Sniper_Aimb0t I, which warranted his succsessor to leave Rathnir for good. A depiction of Sniper_Aimb0t I's bloodied corpse was later added to their Coat of Arms.

Upon arriving to the world of Eldham, the house and their vassals quickly learnt that the established towns did not take kindly to newcomers. Chased and forced across the world, they eventually sought refuge in a mountain range near the town of Lome. Here, they built a large square keep called Jarlstårn(literally: Earl's Tower) standing above the Jaktskog(literally: Huntswood). This keep with surrounding lands would become known as Steinslott.

Here, the house and their vassals would remain mostly undisturbed for around two years, until the city of Lome claimed and cut down the Jaktskog, which was the primary sorce for meat and wood for Steinslott. This sparked some crisis, as Steinslott's storage rooms and granaries had been raided some time before, culminating in the death of Earl Sniper_Aimb0t II, who, weakened by starvation, died of a great fall. Despite calls for war, Earl Sniper_Aimb0t II dared not take the lands by force, doubting the strength of his army and fearing repercussions from the wider Republic of Redoriv. He was also unable to contact Lome leadership diplomatically, meaning the land was now lost. Determined to do something, he begun a series of military reforms and construction projects to solidify the current borders. These are still ongoing.
