Leier hailed from a humble knight family, who received their title and land during the reign of Henry's great-grandfather as a token of appreciation for the discovery of a new Cold Iron Vein. They received the esteemed name of Froststone, symbolizing their ancestral roots and the origin of their merits towards the throne.
However, the prosperity and esteem built by the Froststone's ancestor were tragically squandered in the hands of Leier's grandfather, Evander Froststone. This ill-fated man managed to gamble way their lands, their noble title, and their whole fortune, losing everything on a betting table against a known viscount.
