House Periqall
A minor House in Tamous, the Periqalls have a reputation as country rubes unconcerned with the niceties of civilized culture. Their lands are hardy frontiers, and the lords of those lands are better suited to ruling them. The Periqall estate in Elidor City remains almost unpopulated most of the year round, save when a lady of the House is expecting, and chooses to retire to its luxuries for that period.
House Periqall is ruled by Lord Edomus Periqall, an immense man with immense appetites. He is built like a bull, with a beard that would do a dwarf proud (a marked departure from the current Tamousan preference for clean-shaving among its men). He is said to lay a feast-like table nearly every day, and his holdwives number more than a dozen. His Lady Destacia is a woman of prodigious appetites herself, with several sweet-scarred lovers among the House's knights and other retainers.
House Periqall lays claim to the southeastern portion of Tamous including Peakwatch, its lands stretching halfway across its southern border. Their heraldry is a mountain peak, stone grey, against a field of umber.

- Farmont: Seat in Eledir City
- Peakwatch: Though Farmont is the House's seat, the mighty castle of Peakwatch is their home. Set in a pass that is the only exit out of the Ilidor Mountains for a span of hundreds of miles (that isn't a sheer cliff face, at least), Peakwatch is oft-embattled by monsters that would seek the lusher hunting grounds of Peakwatch's agricultural communities.
