House Bannist

[TheImpulseHQ 18]

Long ago, there lived a Halfling called Bannist, he was a peaceful Farmer who lived with other Halflings in a remote little village. He had no big dreams of power, and only wished to have a simple life, he had two children, Banstir and Mormont. Banstir was like his father, Peaceful, not angry unless provoked and loved farming and being a merchant. Mormont was different though, he got angry quickly, hated farming and preferred hunting, and had a preference for Northern women.

A Few years later Banstir and Mormont had gone their seperate ways, Mormont to the North where he married a northerner. Banstir went east and founded the Village of Bywater, named becuase it was "By Water". The small village grew, but it never grew into a town, merely a small farming village. Mormont and Banstir soon had families that went on down the decades and centuries. Banstir's descendants remained Halfling, whereas Mormont's descendants eventually became Northerners, leaving only a slight trace of their old heritage.

The Banstir and Mormont Families used their Ancestor's names as their Surnames, and they thrived for a long time. Until the Banstir's village of Bywater came under attack by Bandits. Robert Banstir, only 20 at the time, hid with his siblings, while his relatives were slaughtered. Robert would spend the next Eight years of his life, aided by Bergthor Mormont and Daniel Banstir, hunting down the bandits.

Once he had taken his revenge, he left for Oren and bought a Big Estate for himself and Daniel, a small house for John and Valbad and a Beachhouse Manor for the Mormonts as a token of Gratitude. He is now rallying his last remaining siblings into the city and looks out for any Banstir's that survived or Mormont's that are fleeing from the North.

What is this House?

The House of Bannist is a Noble House, formed by the Three families that combine to make it. It is a wealthy house but doesn't really have much political power where it is based, in oren, although Robert is in training to become a Knight. It has two families because of the split that happened a long time ago. The Mormont family is all Northerners, and the Banstir family is all Halflings. If you are not Halfling or Northerner, your blood cannot be traced into these families. The Sturdyfoot family is a halfling family which is related to the Banstir's. Making it eligible to become part of House Bannist.

How to join?

Find Robert Banstir, who will usually be found in Al'khazar, with Documents tracing your blood back to Mormont or Banstir, if these documents are faked then Robert will probably never speak to you again.

Hail. I believe i can trace my history back to the Mormonts. As a young child i was taken prisoner so i did not have much time to look bach into my history. But now as a Oren diplomat I have traced my family all the way back to the Mormonts. I never knew my fathers name but, now i have traced it to the father of Berghtor Mormont. My mother was also unknown to me at the time. But now i have questioned the people that were there when i was born. My theories were right. I even like the same things my father did. Northern women and hunting. I have the same eyes as the mother the servant i questioned say.(i am currently envolved in politics i could get you some political power if that is of course what you want If not i will find another way to do good to the house) I believe that my blood is the blood of the Mormonts. And that my place in this world belongs beside my distant and close relatives.(MC username is sconn RP username is Diplomat_Sconn)Thank you for reading this and i hope we will soon be united.

[TheImpulseHQ 18]

As Oren Diplomat, you would probably be able to study these records.

This story is convincing, meet with Bergthor at Mormont Manor, he will have a special item, Made by Mormont himself, that will show if you are really a Mormont.

(Hopefully these items can be named once the awesome naming system is out.

Basically, this means that if Bergthor accepts, since i have accepted stage 1, then you will then be accepted into the Mormont family)

I am pleased to announce that Sconn, the Diplomat of Al'khazar is accepted into the Mormont bloodline that he so rightly deserves after proving to me of his noble descent in our family. He is recognised as my brother, well half-brother to be precise. However, I see him as my brother. Let him be accepted into House Bannist also with open arms, as well as aquiring the noble rights that he dearly deserves. He will be staying with me in Mormont Manor, of which I may make another floor for him or another wing, it is undecided as of yet. Rejoice House of Bannist, for I have found my brother!

[sconn 8]

Thank you brother. I hope our family sucseeds in these troubling times and that we may soon find more relatives of our noble house.

[Lym 849]

Although Ah am not mah father's eldest son, mah elder brother passed on before mah father, leavin' me tah inherit 'is estate. The estate included mah father's extensive library, which contained a detailed journal chronicling the family 'istory. Ah am Bernard Sturdyfoot, current 'igh Priest of Oren and mayor of Dunwood, and former Bishop of Dunwood.

Mah father was Oliver Sturdyfoot II, who was born in 1167 and passed just recently in 1315, the oldest ever member of our family. Mah mother was the former Emma Took, who was born in 1171 and passed in 1280. Both are buried in the Sturdyfoot vault in Dunwood Cemetery. Mah father preceded me as both 'igh Priest of Oren and Bishop of Dunwood, and also served as mayor of Dunwood.

'is father was Oliver Sturdyfoot I, who was born in 1125 and passed in 1228. In 1159, he married the former Manda 'ightower, the daughter of Abelar 'ightower (great-great-great-great-grandfather of former 'igh Priest and current Lord Chancellor Everard 'ightower) and Moira Axegrinder. Manda Sturdyfoot was born in 1130 and passed in 1243.

Oliver's father was Terren Sturdyfoot (1089-1213) and the former Winifred Winterback (1095-1203). Thar marriage in 1123 was a bit scandalous as the Winterback family was still disgraced from the actions of 'er grandfather forty years earlier. 'er parents were Geryl Winterback (1058-1174) and the former Willa Banstir (1064-1190). Geryl was the son of Elmer Winterback (1014-1083), who 'ad led an uprisin' to establish an independent 'alfling state from 1078 until he was killed in battle against the Oren Royal Army in 1083.

So, as yah kin see, Ah am descended from the Banstir family, although several generations and nearly 300 years apart. Ah suppose that makes me a distant cousin as Willa Banstir was mah great-great-grandmother.
