House Sapateiro
House Sapateiro is a 'mid-level' noble house of Bal-Morath.
Identity
House Sapateiro is geographically based to the north-east of the town of Verbosh in central Bal-Morath. In terms of composition it is about 60% Human and 40% Tiefling, which, understandably, causes some problems when deciding hereditary entitlements (as the two sides can marry but not sire offspring).
Wealth
Sapateiro makes it money from lumber, primarily, and runs all the sawmills in the Verbosh region. As such it's fortunes are actually closely tied to that of the other noble houses which is the major factor in why it is not more prominent than it is.
Politics
House Sapateiro is a stable, politically neutral house. As it has to sell lumber to all the other noble houses it tends to keep out of politics beyond those matters that directly impact its future business model, or the security of Verbosh. If pushed it will side with House Eliades but will make it known that they'd rather not take any stance at all. It maintains cordial relations with all the other houses but it very aware that some don't have their best interests at heart. So far it has navigated the political machinations of these rivals adequately.
