House Swiftwater

noble-houseriver-lordsswiftwaterheshfounding-of-trayalon-gallund-river-empire

A River Lord house whose bloodline are Hesh survivors. Unlike most Hesh descendants — who try to prevent repeating the mistakes that caused the Folly — the Swiftwaters have always sought to reclaim the lost power of the Hesh. Under Brandon Swiftwater they hunted the Crown of Sorin and buried Hesh secrets, until Brandon was overwhelmed by the essence of the god Sorin and signed peace with Trayalon.

About this record: art and source provenance, discrepancies

Hesh-survivor bloodline. Sacked Fairbreeze and captured Admond to trade for the Crown of Sorin. Brandon, overwhelmed by Sorin, signed a peace treaty at the Admond–Caitlyn wedding, trading trade/resource rights for access to magical-power sites while quietly pursuing immortality and rune-crystal crafting. House seat shown at Two Rivers (the Gilded Palace).
