History

House d'Roux was founded in the mid-1600s IE, when the head of the Caltu barbarian Clan Flann swore fealty to House d'Cordova in exchange for aid against their mutual enemies. Their name was changed to d'Roux to reflect the language of their liege lords. The d'Roux family are viewed by most other noble houses as barbarians with titles and castles, a reputation that they happily embrace.

Historically, House d'Roux have defended themselves and their lords against their rivals, the true Caltu barbarian clans in the Ergonian mountains. However, with the arrival of the goblins having driven the Caltu from their homes, House d'Roux allowed the Aodghan clan into their domain, effectively merging with them for mutual defense against the goblin threat. This, of course, has only renewed the views of those who view House d'Roux as a house of backwards tribals.
