House Gentmor

House Gentmor was a wealthy old noble house. Using a large merchant fleet with Port Skelart as a base they amassed large amounts of wealth and thus political power. When the government of Florin relocated inwards House Gentmor elected to stay in Port Skelart which was their source of wealth. When the nation of Tirac emerged the port city of Skelart was quickly engulfed by the first wave of expansion and the leaders of the house elected to support the new Tirac government instead of siding with Floran. House Gentmor inevitably became a major noble house in Tirac. House Gentmor however had always been a very ambitious house and in the past always eager to increase their profits and safeguarded it by going the direction the wind was blowing like they had with Tirac. But inspired by Tirac’s own rise they sought to gain even more power. The current leaders of the house made a deal with one of the major powers who at the time were in conflict with Tirac. The nation would support House Gentmor with materials and manpower to create new nation with Port Skelart at the center. Plans were made to refit the substantial merchant fleet into war ships that could hold of or even push back the Tirac navy that was already occupied on several fronts. However the plans were discovered before it could be put into actions and the Tirac government acted quickly sending troops and ships to Port Skelart. With no soldiers to speak of port Skelart fell quickly and house Gentmor was arrested. The most prominent members of the house where executed and many others imprisoned. House Gentmor ceased to exist. The city and fleet was split up among several noble houses and the navy.
