New Targonor Noble Houses

Adventurer's Terrace (House Shrike) Lamplighter's District (House Remniol) Thieves Row (House Vermach) Teamster's Quarter (House Caberton) Knight's Rest (House Heartsworn) The College of Magic (House Tanvager) Black Orchid Forums (House Hilthorn) Foreign Goods Market (New Horizons Trading Group) The High Ward (House Godfrey) Citizen's Forum (House Thistle)

New Targonor has a number of Noble Houses that you may wish to ally yourself with to obtain special benefits (including diplomatic clothing and land deeds which can earn you money).

All Noble Houses will offer quests to diplomats whether or not they are allied with that house, but the majority of these quests have minimum faction requirements. There should always be a quest available to do even if you have 0 faction with a house and you can do that one repeatedly (for a +5 faction reward) until you gain enough faction to do the others (which have +10 and +25 faction rewards). Each of these quests also has a very nice diplomacy clothing reward available the first time you complete it.

All of the quests offered by the Noble Houses of new Targonor require you to have a Diplomacy Level of 31 for the +5 quest, 33 for the +10 quest, and 35 for the +25 quest, as well as presence levels of 700 in one or more stations. (See the quest descriptions for exact details).

Becoming allied to a house

To become allied with a house, speak to Reeve Gromwell the Royal Scribe in the Temple of the Fathers in New Targonor. He well tell you:

"Declaring an allegiance with a noble house has many benefits. Once you are listed as belonging to a particular house, many of them will allow you to purchase items by trading in status. Be aware, though; you may only purchase items from the house you declared allegiance to and their allies."

"Remember, you may only swear allegiance to a single house at a time, and it will cost you 500 New Targonor Diplomatic Prestige to dissolve that allegiance."

He describes each of the houses as follows:

• "House Heartsworn is a well establish noble house of knights, or it was. They have had some rough times in the past, but are regaining their political clout."

• "House Shrike is a relatively new house started by Dominic Shrike, the famous mercenary captain."

• "House Vermach is an oddity. They are quite secretive and I do not know much about them, other that Duke Vermach recently died and Regnet Weaver currently runs it."

• "New Horizons Trading Group is run by five trading families who have a great deal of status in the merchant world. Outside of Thestra that is. When House Caberton split off from them they lost many of their contracts here on Thestra."

• "House Caberton on the other hand has very little business or interests outside of Thestra, but within it's borders they have contracts with every major city."

• "House Godfrey is one of the oldest duchies in the kingdom of Targonor. They can trace their lineage very far back."

• "House Thistle is one I consider a necessary evil. Form and function is all well and good, but they have made a science of bureaucracy."

• "House Remniol has been around for quite some time. Formed from the King's liaisons, they function as out first diplomats on Telon."

• "House Tanvager, or the College or Magic, has a long proud tradition within our city. However, their recent decision to take students not of noble blood has caused a schism between them and Hilthorn."

• "House Hilthorn on the other hand doesn't have the history House Tanvager has. This probably stems from the fact that they like to switch schools often."

Becoming a Baronet

Reeve Gromwell can also offer the Baronet title. He has this to say on the subject:

"Each noble house has a parcel of land they offer to agents they consider deserving. They, each, also offer a title for their highest ranking diplomats. If you have both that title and a piece of land, I can bestow upon you the title of baronet."

"To prove your eligibility, you must have the highest title of a house and I must see a deed from one of the houses. Then I will bestow upon you the title of Baronet."

Exchanging Faction for Coin

The special items that you can buy from the Bursar of each house is paid for with coin that they will give you in exchange for faction.

You should note that coins obtained from one Bursar cannot be used to buy items from another one. Yet, it is possible to exchange prestige for house coins from a different house that the one you are allied with, and get items from any house.

Bursars will exchange faction for coins at a rate of 100 House faction for 1 coin, or 200 New Targonor Diplomatic Prestige faction for 1 coin.

You can do writs and bartender parleys on Thestra to obtain NT Diplomatic prestige (as well as using Baubles obtained from bartenders or information turn-ins), and direct quests for the houses to obtain house faction.

Note: You can ally yourself with a Noble House in New Targonor at any level and trade New Targonor Diplomatic Prestige Faction for coins to buy things. On the other hand, you can only do quests with the various Noble Houses to gain faction for House Coins at level 31.

House Overview

The main differences between the items that you can purchase from each Bursar are listed below. Note that when you pledge your allegiance to one house, you are permitted to purchase items from the Bursars of its allies. House quests raise faction for the house itself and it's allies, while reducing faction for enemies. You can do the quests of your house's allies.
