House Whitefang

Trade is our common tongue before blades and blood.

House Whitefang was one of the four smallest of the Goliath Noble Houses. They served Jotunrath as its bankers, merchants, guild savants, and traders. They were silver-tongued, and often relied on their wit and persuasion to deal with their foes.

House Whitefang Origins

While the other major houses were constantly getting into skirmishes and squabbles, a group of wealthy Goliaths sought to make a better name for their people. These Goliaths, now known as the Utara Clan, traveled to the mysterious country of Wuxia. There, they met human traders who welcomed such wealth, and a small trade route was established.

Unfortunately, due to the geography of Jotunrath, the Utara Clan had to pass through House Warborn territory to make it to this fabled country of the humans. While returning with a trade deal, warriors of House Warborn mistook these traveling Goliaths as their enemy, and slaughtered them. The remaining members of Utara Clan took no violent actions, but spoke venom of House Warborn, spreading the hatred of this clan like wildfire among their human allies hailing from Wuxia.

In their honor, the remnants of Utara Clan banded together, with the wealth they had, and purchased land from their competing other noble houses of Goliaths. Soon, they established themselves as a minor but still influential noble house.
