Ghostwood Domain

This domain is where the southern branch of the Drake family Estates are located. Tucked into a series of sharp hills between the Royal Estates and the central swamps of Drillian the domain has a couple of dark forests and small rivers that flow through them. Prior to the establishment of the Ghostwood Domain the Drake Estates along the Chandler Cowles River were the location of the most prominent members of the family. The group adventured here in Ghostwood during the Everyone Knows story arc then returned for a visit during the Wedding Crashers story arc just over three years later.

The Drake family has a long history of participating in Court politics. Their ancestor was the key reason that law of Matriarchal Male Primogeniture was created. The Drake family keeps their members at home, some say hidden, until they take on a role at Court. The family is most proud of Lisba Drake who was the sixth Queen of Drillian. They also have been at odds with the Uklo family for generations.
