CH187 Kellerman Earldom
***
The Kellerman Family were a noble house whose fief bordered both Earl Drake Fury's Dankrot Plains to the south & west and the harsh Ironmourn Desert to the north.
Unlike the Fury lineage, the Kellerman Family's power was consolidated within the main branch. Their lesser branches held only political positions but no direct claim to the fief land itself.
Officially, the entire Kellerman territory was an Earldom. Yet it stood at the very threshold of ascending into a Marquisate. A sliver more land—and the title of Marquis would be within reach.
Publicly, the Kellermans were viewed as an honourable family, with over five centuries of legacy, and goodwill among both commoners and nobles alike.
Their only open and longstanding rival were the so-called 'upstarts' of the Fury Family—especially the Fury patriarch, Earl Drake Fury.
