History
House Darkhaven has ruled in Barcevia since the times of the old Antadour Kingdom. They are a noble lineage that values honor and bravery above all else. Their coat of arms prominently features a cougar, symbolizing both valor and cunning. In recent years, this family has had strained relations with their liege lord, House Argis of Antadon. The cause of this discord can be traced back to a scandal involving the youngest son of Lord Arledge Darkhaven, Arthur. His pact with Asmodeus led to the death of Duke Whyllis' daughter - Thalari, thereby significantly deteriorating the relations between the two houses. Their city, Barcevia, is located on the border between the Duchy and the Kingdom of Stalmont - lands inhabited by dwarves - making it a vital hub for trade and services.
