History
House Ruiter was founded by Ser Esterad Ruiter during the Age of Exploration shortly after Esterad was knighted and given land in the northern part of the Golden Peninsula. House Ruiter was one of the most powerful Noble Houses in the area of the Golden Peninsula and the Western Reach, before suffering a crippling defeat to House Corbray, a Noble House from the same region which they shared a mutual rivalry and hatred with. They requested aid from House Lavyne to aid them in a penultimate battle in exchange for their vassalship. Together, with the crippled forces of House Ruiter and the overwhelming force of Knights from House Lavyne, House Corbray itself was crushed, forcing a cease-fire between the two houses. House Ruiter was however left with little territory as House Corbray was given the lands they had conquered before their defeat.
