HOUSE

EMRYS

 

 

Introduction

House Emrys is an ancient house, originally a branch of House Tarus. They became a Seventian house when Eddyrd was granted the barony of Emrys, under King Renati. They currently serve under the Kingdom of Lotharingia as Barons of Ponce.

 

Merrigan, Prince of Renatus

 

House History

Traditionally said to be founded by Eddyrd, who obtained the land known as Emrys in Seventis, the bloodline has a deep and intrinsic history within Humanity, having involved itself with most wars throughout the ages. Members of the bloodline can be traced back as far as Aegis, with Prince Merrigan forming a friendship with the then errant knight Dezios Vallark.  Merrigan’s son, Konrad, would go on to become a famous warrior of Mankind, fighting against the Undead, and falling in valor during the last stand against the Undead, where Iblees unleashed eldritch magic upon the world, sundering Aegis forever.

 

His children kept and beared his legacy with pride, with Konrad’s first born, Eddyrd, obtaining the land surrounding an enigmatic tower in Seventis, given by Dezios’ son, who had formed the Kingdom of Seventis. House Emrys served House Vallark with an undying loyalty and zealous patriotism, helping form the Seventian Culture and spread it wide, thus turning Old Seventia into one of the most widespread and expansive cultural phenomenons in all of Asulon.

 

After the Doom of Seventis, following the plague of 1391, the house begrudgingly set in Renatus, with the last remaining of Konrad’s children; Gunder, becoming Knight Protector of Arethor due to his prowess in combat and calm demeanor. They’d go to serve Oren with a similar ilk of loyalty they kept to Seventis, however keeping their culture pure and from meddling their blood with those of Renatian or Heartlander heritage.

 

Following the lands of Anthos and Athera, they continued to serve the throne of Oren faithfully, fighting and vanquishing the foes of Horen, and then Savoie as best they could, however they’d go into anonymity until Axios, where the ambitious brothers Rhydderch and Tyrras formed a holy Order under the blessing of Adrian I, the pontiff of the Church of Canon, becoming the foremost military force of Lorraine. This, during the rebellion, served to guard all of the D’amaury country, pledging their blades to King John. In return, they were given the lands known as Ponce, that once served as the seat of House Hightower.

 

Coat of Arms And Heraldry

The Golden Tower of Emrys was an ancient ruin found by Eddyrd, who named the entire country after it, and later restored to be at the heart of the land. A symbol of pride; the Golden Tower, as it is known by Seventians means Justice and Law, a trait associated with the members of the Emrys bloodline.

 

 

Culture

The House prides itself in being Seventian of origin, keeping many of the Seventian traditions intact, including the Sevent language, which is actively spoken in their household. They serve, currently, as the ark for those of Seventian lineage. (More information: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/155091-culture-seventians-the-folk-of-old-seventia/?page=1)

 

House Holdings
