Among the great men of Roman Time was Lord Ren of [[Salisbury]]. He made the great earthwork that marks [[Salisbury]] off from his foes in the north. Any foe that dared cross it paid with his life. Thus Lord Ren kept his lands intact while many great estates disintegrated. He modernised the house and brought many roman traditions into the house through his Roman wife. Most of the modern house of The Rock, is founded on his ideals.

House The Rock

[[File:|link=]]

Description

The house of the Rock is an ancient house with holdings mainly in Salisbury. The family claims heritage as far back as Brutus time and is a mix of Belgea and Roman lines. The families founder are supposedly Salis, son of Locrinus, son of Brutus.

History

One of Locris’ sons was named Salis, who settled in the Land of Five Rivers. He wooed and wed the local queen, an earthborn, named Sorviria (Willow). She was the daughter of a great queen who lived inside a hill up the Avon River—Silbury Hill.

Salis’ people built a settlement to celebrate their king’s marriage. Salis named it after his wife. She divided the city into five parts, one each for the druids, the merchants, the farmers and the warriors; and in the center, the nobles. Her younger son, the one who did not become count, built the walls that divide the city into quarters.

When Salis died he was buried beneath a mound outside the city around the Giants Dance, and that is why the plains are called Salisbury. His nobles adopted the same customs and they were also buried there, and it became famous as a burial ground for a long time. Out there now are still thousands of tombs of all types, including the Royal Graveyard of Stonehenge raised by an ancient magician. .

Salis befriended a wise and powerful magician named Sarronius, and gave him a daughter named Eurytion to be his wife. Sarronius who taught Salis’ people the local worship. His son was named Druis, and and founded the sacred order of the druids. Bardus, son of Druis, was the founder of the sacred order of bards.

The Family ruled for many many generations. And no man ever questioned their right to the land of Salis Burial.

Among the great men of Roman Time was Lord Ren of Salisbury. He made the great earthwork that marks Salisbury off from his foes in the north. Any foe that dared cross it paid with his life. Thus Lord Ren kept his lands intact while many great estates disintegrated. He modernised the house and brought many roman traditions into the house through his Roman wife. Most of the modern house of The Rock, is founded on his ideals.
