Castle Adalsteinn is a large, new, stone castle built only about a decade ago by the father of the current Lord. The Lord’s family is the descendents of Christian nobles pushed out by of their old lands by pagan tribes. They wandered for a few years with all their wealth until they came upon they came to this land where they, their followers, and many locals came together and installed the Adalsteinn family as hereditary lords of the fief.
The current lord is Alarr Adalsteinn, 28 years old, who is married to Lady Asvi, 26 years old. Their union has given birth to Harold, Lawrence, Agnes, Catherine, and Arnvé. Currently Harold is the heir apparent since he is the eldest and by right of his pure blood can retain the throne. As well the Harold is still looking for a bride of pure blood of the homeland.
The Adalsteinn lords rule over a fairly large fief of about 1400 acres with most of the land either being farmland or grassland. There are quite a few trees scattered throughout the fief though. Most of the population is either farmers of fishermen. While the rest either being craftsmen or farmers. The ruling family is by far the smallest caste of the population, but they by far are the wealthiest and most powerful.
