House Moloney

House Moloney is the ancestral house presiding over the realm known as The Great Fjord that cuts the High Continent in half; North and South. The head of House Moloney traditionally resides in the capital of The Swollen Keep, which lays right on the shore of where the Goldwater breaks off from the main collection of rivers.

History Of House Moloney
The members of House Moloney can descend their lineage back to raiders from Volvullig, who raided further inland than ever before and ever since. They settled along the Great Fjord, a huge expanse of winding roaring rivers that are at their fiercest at the Goldwater River. House Moloney is all blonde haired and blue eyed, with curly locks of hair and a natural talent for swimming. There have been many great legendary swimmers from House Moloney, and a Moloney has never once drowned or died in a swimming race or while swimming.

Descending from Volvullig raiders, House Moloney brought its faith along with them, that of the Storm Gods. This religion apparently evolved into that of The Water God Molo, also known as The Goldwater God. This religion spread over to the Edden Fields and The Dun, converting their inhabitants and bringing them to heel as vassals and bannermen of House Moloney.

House Moloney has long been the host of a legendary swimming race called The Drowning, due to very few of the participants surviving it. Very often it is a member of House Moloney that wins the race, though there have been a few exceptions. The Drowning is held every ten years on the mouth of the Great Fjord, onto the Goldwater River.

They are also all mostly formidable and gifted warriors,those that come of this house, shown explicitly in war and jousting tournaments. They have a very skilled and large army, but as of yet have not entered any major war, preferring to grow rich off charging certain sides a toll for crossing the five Great Fjord bridges.
