Suweto Hold was founded during the Ninth Interval near the shores of Drake's Lake. Nestled at the northern edge of the Western Barrier Range its climate is temperate at best, snow generally falling during most of the Southern Winter. Winds often blow strongly through the Hold and the Smiths have started experimenting with wind power. Suweto grows a number of crops and raises a number of cattle, though by no means as many as Karachi Hold.

| Lord Holder Kenish: | Kenish
is an energetic young Lord Holder, despite having held the post for
a good twenty Turns now. The previous Holder, his mother Shuana, was
killed during a stampede of the prize bovine herds carefully raised
at Suweto. Kenish's father maintained the Hold as Warder for a few Turns,
and duly turned over the reins to his son the day the young man's eighteen.
Ketan is still around, loyal advisor and Steward for his son. For the
next several turns, Kenish did dutifully attend the Hold, though he
was known to sow his wild oats from time to time. Upon meeting pretty
young Shenai, a then brand-new Journeywoman Herder, though, Kenish found
himself more than willing to settle down. The pair was joined in a happy
marriage, and Kenish began seriously devoting himself to Suweto. The
Hold prospered, the young man finding talent for administration in himself
that he never knew he had. He revitalized the special breeding projects
that his mother had been overseeing when she died, and his finger is
on the pulse of every part of Suweto Hold. Kenish and Shenai's oldest
son, Netev, is being gradually groomed to take his father's place at
some point in the hopefully distant future. %r%rThe Holder of Suweto
Hold tends to be cheerful, with the flexible mind of a man much younger.
He is always open to new ideas for improving the Hold, and often slips
out to the paddocks at night to sit around a bonfire with his holders,
chewing the fat. Appreciative of a good joke, even when he's the butt
of it, Kenish has a flare for mediation, and can often calm a dispute
within minutes of his arrival. (A stash of excellent Benden red for
such occasions doesn't hurt any!)
Kenish is a little short of average height, and his 5'9" slightly chubby frame can often be spotted sprinting between tasks. An easier way to identify him is by his fiery short-cropped red hair. Sparkling blue eyes hold a twinkle, sometimes of laughter, sometimes of mischief, and most take him for a much younger man. |
