Count Peter Selmy

Ser Peter Selmy is the last public member of his family. The Alliance is good for all in it. It is not insulated from the evils of inter-House politics. House Selmy was used as a pawn in a scheme between Archduke Salazar and Duke Milo in the last round of jockeying for the High King's successor. The former High King was getting on in years. They used House Selmy to propose a known loser, Duke Jonathan of the East Marches. Peter's family was unaware of his religious intolerance. For supporting him, Selmy's family lost trade and social standing. The combination of which bankrupted them. They sold off what they could or gave it to other families, mainly to Archduchess Neega of the Stone Shore and Duke Volerio of the Midlunds. Peter lost contact with his family by their lack of communication, he thinks.

Ser Peter was already a squire to a Pegasus knight when this occurred. The knight let Peter out of his service upon recommendation of a local lord. Peter wandered to the east. He still had two loyal servants. He came upon a Free Count, Gell of Grey's Manor. This Count had lost goods, peasants, and his daughter to a goblin raid. Single-handedly, Peter rescued the count's daughter, most of his goods, and the surviving peasants. The Count knighted Peter on the spot. Since then, Ser Peter has gallivanted about the countryside in the east. He picked up a squire, the fourth son of Hold, Baron of Grey Tower.

After relieving the Wilderlands of the goblins and hobgoblin infestations, he petitioned the High King to become a Free Count. The High King acquiesced and bestowed the Wilderlands upon County Selmy.
