The current leader of the Ridgwell house is the loremaster Tomas Ridgwell. The house was almost extinct and would have gone extinct if Tomas were to die however soon people joined the house making it into the greatest military force of Hallengard with elite, well disciplined soldiers who have not only strength but wits staying true to the nature of the Ridgwell name.

Glory and Honor
The motto of house Ridgwell is "Glory and Honor" which is typically a battle cry but it actually is not meant for battle and the two parts of the saying mean a certain thing. The part stating "Glory" tells you to stand strong and embrace strength to become the greater man while the part stating "Honor" tells you to respect your friends, family and the ones you love. It also means to show your enemy the respect they deserve and treat them well and that also goes for strangers.
