House of Darkoak

The House of Darkoak was a Gilnean noble house that made it's home in the town of Rosefield as Viscounts. The House was known to originate from the Dark Woods. As their early history was relatively obscure, the Darkoaks could trace their lineage back to the natives that had made their home in the Headlands that were eventually subjugated under the House of Cobalstant and had left their homes in the woods to establish Rosefield by the time of the rise of the short lived Kingdom of the Headlands.

The Darkoak line eventually died out with Balaforth Darkoak and his son Galen Darkoak allegedly at the hands of Lord Berenal Grayblade, Galen's best friend. Reports of a survivor of the lineage outside of the wall have been made, but searches for the remaining Darkoak have turned up fruitless. Balaforth was known to have a brother and sister who lived outside of the wall, but his brother was found deceased in his home after the fall of Lordaeron. His sister's body was never found.

The House is survived by a bastard line, the House of Dayne, which had once rebelled against their rule. Its lone survivor, Lerren Dayne, has been risen as Baron of Rosefield using his blood ties to the region.
