CrimsonStar:House Markae

Game: Children of the Crimson Star

Noble House Markae

General: A house of some political influence, moderate military strength and very lucrative land holdings.

Economy: Markae has relatively small land holdings but quite a few holdings are oases or water rich areas. Quite a bit of the wood in Tyr comes from Markae (or associated merchants).

Military: Markae does not have much in the way of heavy infantry or anything in the way of cavalry. But they DO have a large amount of archers. A good section of the Army Of Tyr's archery compnent is supplied by Markae.

Political: Markae has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time in terms of political matches etc. Recently one of their most eligible bachelors died when his bed burned with him in it.

Known Goals: Cornering the lumber market (easier said than done). Revenge on house Erinyes for the loss of their bachelor.
