House Auld

House Auld is a noble house from High Rock that appears in The Burned-Mane Canon.

The House was founded in 3E 290 by Merchant sailor and wizard adventurer Anders Auld after he earned the favor of a Princess of Daggerfall. The House largely remained insignificant and was often looked down on by the other nobility throughout the end of the Third Era to the beginning of the Fourth but started to gain more respect when the current head of the house, Emeric Auld took over after his father's death.

Emeric had a gift for business and quickly turned the family business into a thriving operation that made the House one of the richest in High Rock whilst at the same time becoming Castellan of Shornhelm.

More recently the House recently became the ruling family of Shornhelm, following Emeric Auld's decision to claim the throne after assisting in the plot to kill High King Gaban.
