Oops. I spoiled the surprise.

I was thinking a defunct house of some sort that got jipped by the crown.

That sounds good. Perhaps you could wait up until I present my family history and maybe you will find something interesting you could use to write yours. Just to make some sort of continuity.

By the way guys, you can send the family names to my inbox. I will also include 2-4 royal houses in my family history which will reveal who got the title of count. I'm almost done with putting down capitals for every state and will also add the names. Then I will work on a map of our duchy and will show it to you either tomorrow or day after that. It will have villages, mines, monasteries, castles and towns on it, and maybe even rivers. It will be a political map. The map will also be divided into few counties and the land that is directly under rule of the duke. 
I will highlight the territory of every house which you can then divide among your family members once I open the thread in the RP section of the Nation RP sub-forum so I can give others a chance to apply as well. Limit of the number of houses will be 10 for starters and will expand as the country expands (I will state this in the OOC section when more houses can join in). I'm not sure, I think current number of interested people are 7? So that leaves room for three more.
