We stood on the shoulders of giants. We forged the imperial crown. Ours is the name first in the great histories. We are the most pure of the elder line of Horen I. Our ancestors are King Horen, King Owyn, King Daniel, Emperor Godfrey, and all those great monarchs between, before, and since. The name of the empire itself derives from our family. We are the House Horen.

It was by marriage to us that all the great houses cemented their claims. Our blood is the gold of the crown, the sweat of the miner, and the iron of the pick. In days past, the Church even said that ours was the blood of the divine.

Today, although no longer sitting in the imperial throne, the House Horen has answered the call of the heartlander peoples. Once again, the purple and black banner of Horen flies high over the plains and forests of Oren, a beacon of hope to every human soul.
