House Wheeler

Old House Wheeler
Once a proud family of powerful Mages, the House of Wheeler were respected for their power and noble blood. Distant relatives of the Trollbane family the House of Wheeler held residence in Silverpine Forest owning a fair number of acres of the once beautiful woodland.

Because of their noble blood the House of Wheeler had great influence in the city of Dalaran. Headed by Counts and Countesses the first known record is of a Count Malfrik Wheeler forming settlements in the forest. The first being the hamlet of Ambermill, which was used by the more wealthy mages of Dalaran, wishing to escape from the crowded city. Possible belief that Malfrik chose this area for a powerful ley node resided beneath, wishing himself to tap into this power, such claims have never been proven.

For over many generations the Wheeler family produced many influential teachers, diplomats and warriors. The last of the noble line was an Archmage named Count Malory Wheeler who fell during the Scourge onslaught. With no living descendents The House of Wheeler fell to ruin, their estate pillaged by greedy peasants and disgusting Undead.

The House Remade
After the Scourge onslaught and fall of Dalaran and Lordereon, the peoples of Silverpine forgot the once proud family of Wheeler. However, rumors began to spread that an elderly gentleman had been seen asking questions of the family around local Inns. It seems that the late Malory Wheeler had a son by the name of Nathaniel believed to have been killed by a Troll raid some sixty years earlier. It had seemed that this gentleman has claimed Countship of Ambermill. After several months of legal proceedings, it was unanimously agreed that the gentleman was indeed the heir to the Countship.

Nathaniel’s first task, as Count was to reestablish the ownership of the Wheeler estate in Ambermill. Sifting through the rubble and debris Nathaniel searched for valuable heirlooms not yet pillaged by the peasants. The first was the Wheeler crest which he had restored, also found was the legendary sword Icesteel, passed down over many generations. He then began making arrangements to search for any possible relatives that may have escaped the Scourge onslaught. His only known living relative would be his granddaughter Alatriel, heiress to the Wheeler house.

Since Nathaniel has continued aiding the restoration of the Ambermill estate, as well as purchasing a new mansion in Stormwind City due to his busy schedule of attending the Stormwind Assembly. Nathaniel continues his search for other heirlooms lost in the Scourge assault and any possible distant relatives that may still live.
