House Salvador
House Salvador is a noble house of The Empire that greatly supported the church and the Empire during the First Underdark Conquest. The mining town of Grand Serrin originally belonged to it.1
Decline
During the conquest the heir of House Salvador was killed, and with that the house was doomed. With no strong heir to the family throne, its leadership was left to an old and grieving lord. Its rival, House Arvantess, took the opportunity to claim Grand Serrin and the mines around the town, and while the lord neglected his duties, bandits hired by House Arvantess robbed and bullied his land and people.1
Both houses had churches linked to the united church of Alarath. The war priest Marcus Gaius stayed loyal to House Salvador throughout the political struggle, though his repeated pleas to the Unified Church for help went unanswered.1
