House Duncombe is a noble family of the county of Urnst. It becomes the ruling familiy, under Countess Rachel Duncombe,[1] after the Council of Peers in 596 CY.[2] Lord Terard Duncombe II rules the family from Charn in the Archbarony of Eastmarch.
History
[edit | edit source]The House of Duncombe is also one of the oldest houses in Urnst. Since before the days of Iuz's imprisonment, the House of Duncombe has stood guard on the Artonsamay River and kept watch over the evil that lurks beyond. The origins of the House are lost to history, and the source of their flashing green eyes is a mystery. They are a predominantly of Oeridian heritage but have married into more Suloise and Flannish families and estates.
