The House of Westerville rests solely on a first generation Barony. The land-grant is far from Amber City, and the House has not established a foot-hold among the other noble houses.
The Baron (Scott Jones)
The 1st Baron of Westerville, Lord Thomas Westerville. Former Knight in service to the crown.
Thomas Westerville doesn�t speak about his childhood, so no one really knows where he came from. As a young man he joined Prince Julian�s Rangers, and distinguished himself in battle numerous times. Prince Julian knighted him, and later suggested the rugged warrior be made Baron over some of the far out lands where the rule of law was lacking. King Oberon created Thomas the 1st Baron of Westerville approximately 260 years ago.
Thomas retired his knighthood, gathered up some of his recently retired friends and fellow knights, and headed out to secure his lands and see to the building of his house. Five years later he spent a season in Amber City looking for a wife. By the harvest festival he had married Lady Marsailles, a cousin of the Feldanes.
They had two children, and lived out in the Barony, in their mansion, staying away from Amber proper. After his wife�s death, the Baron remained unmarried, content that his son will have strong offspring to carry on the Barony.
The Baroness (unknown)
The Baroness of Westerville, Lady Marsailles Westerville. (Deceased)
Marsailles was born the youngest child of Lord Richard Conwell, second cousin to the Duke Feldane. A very pretty child, Marsailles was tutored heavily in musical theory, and showed the potential to become an accomplished composer. During her debut season, which had been put off quite a few years so her studies could continue uninterrupted, she met the Baron Westerville. They were married some four months later, in a small ceremony in her father�s home. There were rumors the new Baroness was pregnant before her wedding.
Marsailles traveled out to her husband�s Barony and was never seen in Amber City again. While some of her tutors found this retirement to the country unacceptable, their letters went unanswered. Some were surprised years later, when the official announcement of the birth of her son circulated the City, to find out she also had a fifteen year old daughter.
Marsailles Westerville died at the tender age of 329 from complications left over from the birth of her son. She is interred at the Westerville Manor.

The Baron�s Daughter (Daniella Pestova)
Juliana Rilese Westerville-Merrick-Pinegar
Raised a country girl surrounded by former Knights of the Realm, Juliana married the Count of Moorefield, Lord Samuel Merrick, when she was twenty. Approximately one hundred years after her first husband�s death, she married the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Phillip Pinegar. Juliana maintains loose ties with the Baron.
Juliana married into The House of Moorefield and later into The House of Carlisle.
The Baron�s Son (Heath Ledger)
George Myer Westerville
George was born when his sister was fifteen, to the joy of the Baron, who had begun to despair that he�d never have a son. He had very little interaction with his sister, and his memories of her are vague. She married and left the House when he was five. George was trained from the time he could walk to fight, was sent to a military academy in Begma as a young man, and on his return followed in his father�s footsteps and joined the Rangers.
George did well in the Rangers, combining his father�s brawn with years of strategic study. He recently earned his knighthood, although some consider him too young for the honor in these times of peace. He is also recently married, to a shy woman he met while visiting friends in Begma.
The Baron�s best friend, Sir Daniel (retired).
Known as Danny to the family, this former knight chose to take what money he�d saved and set his lot with his friend. He lived in the Manor until the Baron married. Finding that he seemed to rub the new Baroness the wrong way, Daniel built a large cabin for himself close to the House Seat. He is the Baron�s right hand man, unmarried, and loves the Baron�s children as if they were his own.
