Editing In the Halls of Undermountain: House Urmbrusk (section)

==Description==
For centuries, House Urmbrusk has financed merchants in Waterdeep and worked in land-buying deals for both the city and the various churches.  The hard work and business acumen of the heads of the house have made House Urmbrusk one of the wealthiest families in Waterdeep.

That is not what House Urmbrusk is famous for.

Instead, House Urmbrusk is famous for the fact that the heirs to the family have a tendency to look at a future of counting coins and brokering real estate deals and decide that they'd much rather buy some weapons and armor, outfit a group of friends or mercenaries, and march down into Undermountain, generally never to return again.  It is rumored that the House members tend to put large amounts of pressure on the current head of the House to produce multiple heirs, in the hopes that at least one of them will decide to not get eaten by monsters.

Locally, the phrase, "To pull an Urmbrusk" is used to mean "To abandon your familial duties and get killed in Undermountain."  Most big noble houses have had an heir at some point in their history do this, but no noble house in Waterdeep has quite the sheer number of incidents like Urmbrusk does.
