House Stout of Goldgrass
Casa Stout de Goldgrass
House Stout of Goldgrass is a minor northern family, lord of a small holding and sworn to the Dustins, whose name only surfaces in the record when it serves greater houses.
Its role amounts to a handful of scenes of military duty and courtly attendance, but through them one can trace how a small house survives by attaching itself to whoever holds power at the time.
