  2. House Flay “Blood for Coin!” House History Following his return after 20 years of exile, August Flay - Lord of House Flay - reformed his renowned household with the blessing of the Emperor Godfrey in the Holy Oren Empire. Unfortunately for him, much had changed in the decades of his disappearance, and the paramountcy he once enjoyed in Oren politics was a thing of the past. New powers ruled in Oren. Unwilling to face the fact that his power had long since waned, August Flay allied himself with the Teutonic Order and challenged the Order of the White Rose; a grievous error on his part. Having not given himself enough time to gather his strength, House Flay was dealt a decisive defeat by the numerically superior Roses and their allies, and to all those in Oren and outside - appeared to have been shattered completely. Indeed it seemed this way in the aftermath. In his rage and denial, August Flay removed dozens of men from his service, murdered loyal subordinates, and began plotting his return to power. He hired sellswords, he gathered vassal houses. Most importantly, he sent a request to the Emperor. A change of his name, from the infamous Flay to the newly coined Blackmont. In this, August hoped to start anew, establish a new identity for himself and his men in the Empire. Having gathered what men he deemed loyal and fit, the first Lord Blackmont began plotting and planning, intent on retaking what he once held. In an effort to consolidate his position, Lord Augustus I hammered out alliances and took on new vassals, becoming liege to the Houses Carrion, Woods, Letholdus, and Greymane. Upon his arrival to the land of Anthos with his personal army, Lord Blackmont moved quickly to establish a new base of operations and wasted no time in resuming his activities of intimidation and terror. Peace never did last long when Lord Augustus Blackmont was involved. In a bid for more power and additional land, he declared formal war upon the Teutonic Order, relying on his terror tactics and superior numbers - albeit inferior organization. Additionally, a son was born to him by his wife, Lorin Chivay, the son that Augustus had prayed for for so many decades. With this new heir, Tiberius, born, Augustus groomed him from the beginning - so that he could properly assume control of House Blackmont upon his own death. With tensions only increasing along with open conflict in north, battle lines were drawn as different noble houses decided who they were to fight alongside. At full strength and readily mobilized for war, House Blackmont geared itself to fight any that they deemed necessary in order to advance in status and power. With the help of House Blackmont's allies, a siege upon the Dreadfort was broken and the Teutonic Order forced into retreat. In his final days, Augustus lived to see the day that the Order was officially disbanded, before finally dying in his bed, alongside his most trusted followers. Shortly thereafter, his eldest son, Tiberius, was named his successor. Though he held much resentment towards his father for his harsh and peculiar upbringing, he quickly took the reigns in House Blackmont as Lord Tiberius Blackmont II. In an event known by many as the 'Crimson Banquet,' Tiberius arranged a feast to celebrate his own rule over House Blackmont. Here, as a toast was declared in his honour, he was poisoned and died instantly. In the subsequent confusion, accusations were thrown between the Bannerman and a brawl quickly ensued. In the chaos, the Dreadfort was set alight and the surviving Bannerman forced to seek a new home from the Emperor. Under the new Lordship of Augustus's youngest son, Lucius, they rebuilt the Dreadfort close to Oren's capital, where they intended to restore the House to its former glory. Lucius Blackmont and his men drop to their knees as they reach the throne, they guards lower their head in respect as Lucius speak out "Your Imperial Majesty". Horen looks over to Lucius nodding at him as he speaks "Aye, Lord Justiciar?". Lucius and his men rise from kneeling as he clears his throat and begins to speak "I have a request for you, I wish to retain our old name. The name that broke fear into so many hearts, the name we are still called today. I wish for myself and my family to be called House Flay." He darts his eyes to Horen then to the men around the throne with him, a small bead of sweat falling from his forehead as he waits nervously. Horen shifts in his throne before he speaks out "Very well then Lord Justiciar, you have my blessing." Lucius smiles and places his hands behind his back, gripping his two hands together. "That is all Your Imperial Majesty" He gives a slight bow of his head as he spins on his heels and marches out of the Palace, two Man of Arms quickly following after him by his side. Customs The most noticeable feature about House Flay is its practice of skinning its enemies alive, and in some cases dead. Soldiers hang trophies of these skins, from any and all races and allegiances, as a show of glory. These sometimes full body husks of rotting flesh are seen as a sign of military merit in the House, and the more a soldier has on his wall, the more respected and prone for bonuses. Within the upper echelons of House Flay, many shroud their more devious nature, utilising a silver tongued wit to escape the most dangerous encounters. Though soldiers of House Flay are known for their ruthless appetites, over the years, they have further learnt to appreciate the importance of subtlety and deception. Goals The men of House Flay have but one will, that of their leader - the Lord of Flay. What he has in priority is known only to him truly, but the household and those who lead it have always been known to have an affinity for chaos and corruption. Their lust for power is unparalleled in the Empire, and their brutality is not matched by any other force that serves the Emperor. Responsibilities Becoming a soldier for House Flay is taxing both physically and mentally. Tasks often are of a violent and immoral nature, including but not exclusive to: intimidation, robbery, murder and torture. Nothing is off limits to a Flay man, if he knows what is best for him.

This rank is achieved upon completing the initiation process of flaying one's enemy.

  11. In the Kingdom of Hanseti, Salvus and Renatus posters are pinned to trees and noticeboards. On the poster you notice a large yellow cross covering the top part. If you bother to gaze down you will notice neat hand writing. "With the new reformation of the Chapter of the Lion many footman, man of arms, archers and nobleman are being recruited into its ranks. However the Chapter requires more men to join, to take up a bow or blade and fight for the Empire. There is no pay however equipment is handed out to each man of the Chapter. So do not hesitate to join today. If you wish to join the Order please report to the Lion keep in Abresi. The poster comes to an end with the writers signature. - His Imperial Highness Noble Ser Pertinax Horen the Pure" Should you care to appear at the Lion keep for recruitment you will find a stall, manned by Great Ser Lerin Hrak. He is handing out slips to noblemen and citizens. If you approach the desk he will hand you a slip to fill out. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gj2BrxAvBtlNPjLTHmZFSjXx7hFmNIlp07j7P7oLbEM/viewform [Once you are done filling out the form, please RP sending a letter via courier or a bird - Thanks]
  12. No they didn't win. A siege isn't destroying a fort its taking the land. Retreating doesn't grand you victory, taking the Dreadfort does.
