house: Kriophoros banner: Ram colors: green and white Loyal and selfless, the knights of house Kriophoros are the keepers of harmony in the Riverlands. The first to negotiate peace among their warlike brethren, they suit up for battle only when given no other option. This temperament has made them well loved by the commoners of the Riverlands, but territorial disputes have seen their property dwindle to the more aggressive houses. Virtue: humility

Thanks for participating Knights! Your houses will live in fame and glory, and your heroic deeds will surely be remembered
house: Basurde banner: Boar colors: Red and black Tough and warlike, the Basurde are warriors of renowned skill and legendary toughness. Upholding the virtues of knighthood is less important to them than the thrill of battle and the spoils of conquest. Virtue: diligence
Jacob Roberts
House: Kangz-en-sheet Banner: pair of Air Jordans Colors: purple and white
A House of dark skinned people from across the see, this house is infamous for its theft and violent tendencys. Always talks about how they were royalty back in there old country despite scholars finding no evidence of such. Would have been punished for there transgressions long ago if not for protection from their benifactors, who see them as useful pawns.

Eww Riverlands. Might as well go ahead and hand your stuff to bandits, marauding armies, marauding pirates, so forth and so on right now and save yourself some time later. Still, if it's to help you flesh out a game...
House name: Davis Banner: Silver crossed falchions on a field of Black Colors: Black and Silver Official House Words: 'Committed to Excellence' (Previously: 'Pride and Poise')
House Davis will do anything to win. They are not regarded as exceptionally loyal, but they always give all they have in any fight, and are not above using dishonorable methods. In terms of wealth, their people are some of the poorest in the Riverlands, but show fanatical loyalty; they can call upon a strong local militia that calls itself 'Raider Nation', typically known by their black outfits and face masks. Historically, they favor what might be called 'deep operations' and raiding tactics to overextend foes. They value speed, flexiblity, initiative and cunning in their leaders.
Thomas Wright
This is a great post /qst/ could be a good place for this type of thing. Thanks for the suggestion! Glad to have you

Adrian Powell

Free fighting rapier fighters- an upstart nation formed a hundred years ago from a band of bandits/thieves that a king showed kindness too.
Logan Harris
This would be what that looked like (and it's period accurate too!)
Bentley Gray
good input thank you! The knights of Engerand are tactful and to be feared on the field of battle
This is great guys, but we still need a king and some more lords! This is a better turnout than I could have hoped for thank you all
house name: Medici banner: silver coin colors: silver and black The Medici are renowned healers and shrewd businessmen. A wealthy house indeed, and an enviable ally. It is said that knights win battles, but the Medicis win wars. Virtue: Temperance

Claims the sun speaks to him in the heat of the forge and of battle.

Blake Jackson
House Name: Aurelius Banner: A horrid aberration impaled on a spear Colors: Blue and gold
Christopher Smith
House: Megarand Banner: Green oak against grey-blue checkerboard Colors: Green and grey Virtues: Determined, frugal Vices: Wrathful, rumored poisoners Notable details: House Megarand fell on very hard times in the past, to the level of peasants, with only their name left. They have begun a dramatic recovery, but their tactics remain those of their long poverty; unable to equip a true knight, they have become camouflaged snipers and assassins.
Jaxon Hughes
House: Moultrie Banner: Three Crescents Colors: White and Blue
Originated from an Commoner given Rank and Titles for his leading of the defence of a costal fortress, only to almost have these taken away just a few generations later for partaking in a revolt. Though brave fighters, many other houses do not respect them, calling them uncultured, lowborn traitors, and other scathing names.
Luke Lee
This is great for a house that hunts monsters, as there are plenty in this world I didn't know what a hoplite was, yay learning things! This is great lore, many knights were just ordinary people who ascended to knighthood from extraordinary circumstances. Love it! This guy is great for roleplaying. I love a little insanity 5 star post mothafucka! good story! I'm gonna make these guys one of the ranks of royal guards Love the idea of a pots-and-pans knight on the tourney grounds upsetting one of the crowd favorites. This is gonna get used for sure I really like imperfect characters, and the Moultries have much to regain in honor. Makes a great comeback story!
house name: Cook banner: Raven colors: silver and blue Former pirates, house Cook gained recognition and knighthood from the king for rescuing one of his lost flagships during a terrible storm. Now loyal serveants to the king, they never forgot their swashbuckling heritage and are not above a tavern brawl
Adam Ward
>I really like imperfect characters, and the Moultries have much to regain in honor. Makes a great comeback story! Im glad you think so! Though I can't take full credit, I just took inspiration from my home state (South Carolina)
House: Pesantrus Banner: A hoe and shovel crossed over a background of green and brown, divided diagonally. Colors: Greens and browns, typically of the dark-ish variety. Virtues: We provide you with the fucking food you eat you dumb bitches. Vices: Nothing, unlike the pompous upstarts called "nobles." This is a anarcho-syndicalist commune and by george it's gonna stay that way. Notable traits: We're honest, hard-working people, unlike lazy nobles who follow imperialistic dogma that benefit only them while squandering us, the lower class or "peasantry" and our works, which creates an ever-growing rift in the classes that must be closed immediately!
James White
>house name Wildaye >banner A red feather >colours Dark/olive green with red
A mercenary group with preferences for guerilla warfare and hunting
Camden Smith
This guy is great. I love the attack hog! gonna do something special with him reminds me of a weapon from diablo 2 very knightly. Well done kek this is great rambo the knight. Perfect! I think you just upgraded the Moultries to a noble Lord of the keep
house name: Bizdam banner: An apple colors: red and silver The house of Bizdam are known for their exceptional ale brewing, and their craft has made them quite rich. Their prowess on the battlefield defies logic, as they often go to war with kegs and flagons in tow. Nearly impervious to pain, these staggering warriors have turned their drunken fighting style into an art, catching their foes off balance and causing their enemies to underestimate them
Jeremiah Clark
House: Brydain Banner: A chalice impaled by a sword over a bar sinister and bar dexter House colors: red and gold Virtues: Frugal, intelligent Vices: Arrogant, dishonorable Notable details: House Brydain has long been a patron of the alchemic arts, and their patronage has not gone unrewarded. They possess a sizable arsenal of (relatively) primitive incendiary and chemical weapons, which they use to great effect- especially in sieges. For this they are reviled- but every knight would rather go into battle alongside rather than against them.
Blake Robinson
Hail Bizdam, King! Long flow the Brew!!
Isaac Russell
Of all the comments to randomly disappear, it had to be the one to give the Moltries a chance at greatness
*sigh*
Such is our lot in life...
Joseph Butler
Shit. I guess all hail the king :S I like the evil knights. They add so much more flavor to the world
house name: Mernoch banner: two squirrels colors: brown and green A monastic order, the Mernochs eschew violence and tend to the peaceful needs of the public, as well as cultivating land, and growing vineyards. Utter pacifists, the Mernochs nonetheless are regarded as a knightly brotherhood for their service to the king and his people
Luis Thomas
Hail to the King, baby. Allow me to be the first to bend the knee:
House: Vastok Banner: A great helm, topped by a phoenix rampant against a bar dexter Colors: Blue and white Virtues: Strong, Trustworthy, Steadfast Vices: Arrogant, Gluttonous Notable Details: The Vastok will never break a promise, and never give promises lightly. They also tend much larger than average- and have appetites to match. In battle, they take advantage of their strength with astoundingly heavy armor, virtually invincible to all but the luckiest hits.
Liam Morales

House: Green Banner: Rainbow trout colors: Green and silver A relatively new house founded by Finley Green, a knight of the riverlands. Awarded to him due to gallantry during a conflict where prevented enemy forces from crossing a ford, his modest keep has been named the Greenhold.
Isaiah Smith
don't worry I remember :P This is perfect for flavor for the king's bannermen, and the story of how he won the throne I like it! sounds like a really nice place. Maybe send the players there to train? good shit
house name: Rogers banner: A virgin on a green field colors: green and white Supreme gentlemen. Unsuccessful with women, but extremely chivalrous. Narcissistic tendencies, and extreme delusions of grandeur. Complete loners. Virtue: Chastity
Jose Watson
House Name: Starley Banner: Field of Violet, semy of four-pointed stars made of silver thread Colors: Black, Violet, Midnight Blue, Silver Virtues:Kind and mostly tolerant, capable duelists and warriors, loyal for the most part, skilled traders, try to enjoy life to the fullest Vices: Indecisive, mediocre strategists, indulgent wastrels
Hail from a large coastal city. Posses marble quarries and fertile soil fit for vineyards and fruit tress. Their domestic goods, penchant for parties, and acceptance of brothels and gambling houses has made them a lucrative spot for foreign traders, namely in spices and fabrics.
Sorry if its a bit long winded.
Jacob Long
House: Leprallo Banner: A winged heart against a bicolor background, divided diagonally Colors: Green and Bronze Virtues: Determined, Hardy Vices: Hate everything, lepers Notable details: House Leprallo holds some of the worst land in the Riverlands. Cursed by some long-ago sorcerer, the land is poor and spawns a plentiful supply of monsters and abberations. Worse, over generations the curse has seeped into the bones of House Leprallo, resulting in a host of varied deformities- and their exclusion from polite society, despite their stalwart work in monster-hunting. Bitter and slowly dying out of inbreeding as no other house wishes to marry them, House Leprallo hates the world. When going outside their own lands, Leprallo knights wrap themselves in layers of bandages to conceal their many sores and lesions.
Hunter Hernandez
No it's perfect. Thank you Another king to usurp Bizdam. Thank god! And a sweet story too. This is great. Wonderful post! ALL HAIL KING LEPRALLO
Thanks for all the posts guys. I could still use a few more lords, but I'm gonna stop adding new knights myself. This has been great thank you all and it's going to be a very awesome campaign! Feel free to continue adding knights, lords and kings tho, I am continuing to monitor the thread
Ryder Baker
My king, I petition that the houses make a hierarchy by pledging their services to the next lord up the feudal chain once we know our place.
House: Karsman Banner: Downward pointing hand Colors: Blue background with a white hand Notable traits: Rules from a keep in the middle of a small town. The house was originally from elected burgers of the town but distinguished themselves and obtained royal appointment to feudal status. Though that was long ago, Hous Karsman still holds to the virtues of hard work and industry benefiting freedmen from a town.
David Roberts
The leper king, ruling from his twisted castle atop the poison heath, despising the very kingdom he now rules. There's a lot of things that can happen from here, and none of them are good. The king is dead! Long live the king?
Owen Hughes
House Karsman pledges itself to serve under house Tamius.
Nathan Morgan
House Vastok shall continue to serve House Bizdam . King or no, our promises shall not be broken.
Cameron White
Out of curiosity, when will you be running the campaign?
House: Drake Banner: Red Drake on White field Colors: Red, White
A family of explorers and adventurers, named for the family progenitors first kill. Their Knights like to wander far afield, searching for new lands to explore, and new monsters to kill!
Logan Sullivan
Very cool! But Bizdam's king is unfortunately deceased. I think you want to pledge fealty to Tamius under his grace, King Leprallo Fuck yeah Vastok. I think we can wait out our exile and return when we've marshalled our power again Starts in two weeks. This has been very helpful fleshing out the population of the country. I think the first session is going to start with a jousting tournament held at a major wedding of two noble houses. And- then something plot happens to make the players have to band together to be heroes. That's pretty much what I got so far
Jeremiah Morales
I'd be interested to learn how you intend to explain a group of impoverished, shunned lepers ascending to the highest office in the land.
Colton Ortiz
History has long showed that people with arable land are content to stay put, and infertile land breeds conquerors. Combine that with the strength of constantly fighting monsters in their homeland, and a reckless disregard for other people, and you have the kind of power hungry psychopath fit to be a king. His allies are born of fear, not love or respect. Noone is as dangerous as a man with nothing to lose
Owen Richardson
House: Mirinalia Banner: A E S T H E T I C Colors: Reds, Blues, and Whites, colors of home country, L O N D O N Virtues: Incredibly oily, muscular bodies that provide great agility and strength. Vices: None, besides the relentless and undying pursuit of a perfect, natty body, and the denunciation of those who don't try to do the same. Notable details: 100% completely straight, no homosexual undertones here. Also don't wear much armor, to show off our muscular perfection.
Tyler Morris
house: hanson banner: thick-rimmed eyeglasses over crossed hockey sticks colors: black and blue
Alexander Watson
House: Grendel Banner: Two manticores (one blue, one silver) rampant against a bicolor background, divided down the centerline Colors: Blue and silver Virtues: Modest, charitable Vices: Strange religious practices, marry commoners, secretive Notable details: It is difficult to say where House Grendel ends and the peasantry it rules over begins. Centuries of outbreeding have resulted in virtually the entire population or the county having Grendel blood. Likewise, the normally strict lines of formality between peasant and noble are blurred. And while House Grendel and its peasants/cadet lines supposedly practice the same religion as everyone else, the rites used are recorded nowhere else. Likewise, the dialect spoken by House Grendel is utterly unlike anything spoken by the surrounding peoples. Combined with its insularity, the impression is of a holdout of the pagan past, or a piece of some alien society dropped into the middle of the land and unconvincingly pretending at normality.
House Grendel pledges itself to House Leprallo , for reasons it declines to elaborate.
There are probably a lot of down-on-their-luck and desperate Houses willing to support Leprallo in hopes of turning around their own fortunes. Perhaps support of Leprallo is why House Megarand is recovering its fortunes so swiftly? They are rumored to be poisoners...
Brandon Campbell
House: Perfect Freeze Banner: Nine Crystals Colors: Light Blue and White
The house of Perfect Freeze hail from the far northern regions, valuing strength and perseverance even in the face of adversary. It is said that they might have fae blood in them, their hair often whiting prematurely or even ending up with a light bluish tint, but doubt is cast upon this claim due to the relatively low standards of education of their members as well as their sometimes difficult to comprehend accent. In spite of these deficiencies, literacy is above average among members, even when it isn't necessary, as they love recording their boastful accomplishments to recite later as epic sagas, "epic" being highly subjective.
Alexander Bennett
Good shit house Grendel. Your fealty and service to the king Laprallo are admirable, and with his newfound station, I am sure he will be gracious to those who have served
Benjamin Lewis
virtues: strong fraternal bond, relentless brawlers that will beat up pretty much anyone for any number of reasons vices: relentless brawlers that will beat up pretty much anyone for any number of reasons foils: ogilthorpe; cops; dickhead referees; old-tyme hockey notable traits: three brothers that play as minor league hockey goons

Andrew Walker
House name: Lightbearer Banner: Torch/candle Colors: White/Yellow A once lowborn family referred to as torchmakers due to their occupation, they have since elevated in position and renamed their dynasty to the lightbearers. Generally have strong roots with the lower class and champion honor and justice.
Tyler Gutierrez
house name: de Fortez banner: Lion colors: Upper half is a horizontal white plane with a red lion in the middle. Lower half is filled with red and yellow vertical stripes.
One of the most foreign houses, they come from a land where good wine and a pretty woman are of plenty.
This house was almost completely destroyed by an invading army. It was the noble sacrifice of the house lord who personally led a last chance charge with only a few knights that managed to turn the tide of the war in their favor. In honor of his bravery, the knights now wear a lion as symbol of their house's lord, who fought like a lion till the very end.
Courtly love, honor and duty is taken very seriously in the house. Many of the knights are very eager to prove themselves either through war or tournaments. They are certainly fearless and seem to roar into battle, welcoming death and glory like their late lord's example.
Kayden Robinson
House name: Jormarg banner/colors: blue snake holding a violet sword in it's mouth on a golden background. Known for it's line of fearsome and loyal blackguards.
Carson Sanchez
House: Spaagen Banner: Blue hawk in flight on a sun, on blue-and-white checkered background Colors: Blue and gold Virtues: Pious, Peaceful, Kind Vices: Fast women and slow ponies Notable details: House Spaagen has long tried to distance itself from the frequently-violent turns of court politics, charting a neutral course in the interests of keeping their lands free from war. In this they have mostly succeeded; unfortunately, their excellence in this field of stewardship is not matched in others. Their personal finances are in a perpetual state of disarray, lavish parties, gambling, and a dizzying array of mistresses and bastards draining the treasury dry as fast as their rich, unspoiled lands can fill it back up. The only thing that seems to be able to get the Spaagens to show financial discipline is an attempt to use their finances as leverage over them, which causes them to swiftly close ranks against the interlopers.
They are sworn to House Cook .
Bentley Lewis
House Name: Mott Banner: A crowned horse, impaled by three spears House Colours: Brown and Yellow Notable Details: The Land House Mott governs a mostly mountainous region, split by wide rivers and plateaus. Because of this (and a long-standing tradition of horses (and horse riding) being seen as innately feminine), most of the men of House Mott serve as footmen. In particular, the knights and men-at-arms of the house often serve as pike-men in large-scale battles, often forming the anvil of the army they serve in; sharp pikes wielded by men head-to-toe in plate.
The men do ride horses when needed, however ... they just do it side-saddle, and never in battle

Jackson Brooks
house name: Breitenbach banner: A black rose on a white field colors: white and black While they like to present themselves with a facade of chivalry they are notorious as backstabbers and dirty fighters, believing that victory washes away all dishonor. In recent years they have become quite fond of poison, both for use in battle and as a method to speed up their inheritance. This has led to there being few living members of the house, most of which are quite paranoid due to the nature of their kin.

House Name: Elverog Banner: An ornamental ancient helmet Colors: Silver and gold on black House Elverog remembers the old gods. The old gods merely sleep, they are not dead. House Elverog will be great once more. Feudalism will be no more than a tool of the mighty ones when the old gods awaken, and House Elverog will be their servent once more.

House name: Chalkos Banner: Gules, a Venus symbol Or. Colors: Gules, Or
The Chalkos originated as a cadet branch of an established noble house further north, but has over the generations grown into a largely independent line, and migrated to the Riverlands. They take their name and symbol from copper mining, the defining feature and source of wealth of the house from which the Chalkos originated. Their priced heirloom is a suit of ancient bronze armour, inherited from the the distant ancestors of the line's progenitor, and now used as a ceremonial garb.
The Chalkos are sworn to House Leprallo:

House name : Steward Banner : A gauntlet on two crossed torches Colour : White and blue House Steward has been taking care of the sire's of other noble houses including the royal house for generations. Almost all of the Kingdom's great leaders has been brought up and whelped within the walls of House Steward's hold.
Joshua Flores
>only noble house to allow women knights That seems like a good way to get your house married out of existence or at the very least critically weakened. I doubt they'd be killed in combat anymore than the usual knight, but as soon they are taken for ransom whats keeping the ransomer from just marrying them. Then pressing claims and wanting dowries?
Justin Adams
House: Montage Banner: three white circles House colors: Red and Blue
A humble house with modest holdings, this house prefers to stay on the sidelines of political affairs.
Joshua Jones
YES BEST HOUSE 10/10
Thomas Carter
House: Casthold Banner: Black tower on a split field. House Colours: Blue and White
The House was originally charged with defending the sea mouth of the largest river, to ensure pirates and raiders could not enter the riverlands. As such they are grim and sincere, and refuse to take sides in smaller conflicts, citing their duty as more important. Their impressive military and fortifications ensure they are not coerced either.
Brandon Wright
