Escutcheon showing the armorial bearings of the Westgate family. Blazon: Per pale and per chevron azure and argent; in dexter chief three billets two and one; in sinister base a millrynd; a bordure; all counterchanged.

The House of Westgate hails from the small woodland region of Loratil, a day outside the Eston capital of Hawthorne.

Brice

The middle son of the House of Westgate, Brice recently assumed control of the family's affairs in Atamara. Impatient with his elder brother's inaction in the ongoing war, he struck out to swear himself as a knight to Eston's Marshall Myrn'tek Grimoire. After waiting for some time on the 'Eastern Front' of Amdor, he participated in the Siege of Barad Falas. During the resulting confusion, as both sides struggled to regroup their troops, most of Eston's forces retreated, leaving him trapped within the city. He was wounded the next day as the remainder of Eston's forces fought valiantly to escape the enemy stronghold.

After his wounds healed, he bolstered his ranks with fresh recruits, neglecting to notice they employed shortbows, rendering his Lacirith Longbows' advantage of range useless. Nevertheless, the young noble learned from his mistake and set out to rejoin the war.

Reece

"I am the eldest son of the House of Westgate. As my younger brother has usurped control of the family affairs in Atamara, I come in exile to start anew. My former kingdom is rife with war. I know not the state of affairs here; I am ready to again take up my blade, yet would welcome an interlude of peace." -- Reece's Letter of Introduction to the Antoza Commonwealth.

Reece would not have the peace he wished for. Taking leave of his brothers, he set out with his retainers to the port of Anacan. There, Reece quickly answered Baron Boromir McMahon's call for knights, and recruited a large, well trained group of infantry. Taking into account his own feelings about war, he saw fit to hire an older officer, Captain Ortlieb, to handle the actual training and oversight of his new unit. Unbeknownst to him, Baron Boromir was Marshal of the Legion of Anacan. Tasked with the defense of Antoza's northern border, Boromir ordered a quick strike into Lenamaziel to secure both sides of the vital border bridge. With Ortlieb's guidance, Reece's troops performed admirably, taking only two casualties during the young noble's first taste of combat.
