[QUOTE="Timothy, post: 636765, member: 6138"] [b]The houses (short overview)[/b] The Houses of Farnese 1: Taurus The Ruling House, they represent Might and Warfare. The Emblem of this house is a great white bull, or a minotaur. Since the country, Farnese, was founded by Taur Aldabaran, a leader of several Barbarian tribes, now 900 Years ago, Taurus has almost always been the ruling house. The only Times another house raised to power was immediatly after the death of Taur Garuth. That was when Ratur Snaketongue of house Serpent took over. He made sure that none of Taur's many children survived. But he proved wrong and a grandson of Taur, Alnath the Bullheaded took up arms and crushed him. More recently, Vela, The house of trade took over when Pirates threatened the land and Taurus was not able to defend it properly. Vela worked together with Leo, The house of Military might and Law. And after the pirates were dealt with, Vela gave back the might to Taurus, displeasing her ally Leo heavily. Taurus now rules for 10 years, but it's current head is more interested with making the neighboring countries abgry then governing. (This house is not available for players) 2: Serpens Named after the Serpent, this house is very secretive about it's dealings. The official stance is that they are a trading house but while this indeed is true, it is obvious they have other business as well. (This is like a small version of the zhentarim form the forgotten realms) (Janos will take this house) 3: Leo This house represents military might and upholding the law. Leo is actually a faction that Split up from Taurus 700 Years ago. It represents the more lawful attitude that is now prevailant in Farnese. 200 years after Taur Garuth founded Farnese with his barbarian tribes, the longing for a more civilized way of life and better laws resulted in House Leo. (Leo(pold) will take this house) 4: Vela This house was created by Suhail al Muhlif, a great merchant that came sailing from the unknown east 150 years ago. After arriving here, he set up a great trading empire, that involves the unknown eats as well. Only ships that bear the distinctive Blue sails of House Vela are admitted into the harbours of the east. (ErichDragon will take this house) 5: Monoceros This is the house of wizards or sorcerers, it’s name seems to change with every new ruler. The house has been called: Vulpecula, Draco, Gemini and a lot of other names. It is currently lead by Voll Mono, a good wizard, who insists all magic is used for good. Leadership of this house is established by mage duels, so in effect the mightiest, willing wizard has leadership over this house. (Gwolf will take this house) 6: Ara This house consists of the clergy of Farnese. In Farnese there is only one official god: Orr, the Sun. Other gods are believed to be other incarnations of Orr, and are worshipped as well. This house was founded only a few years after Taurus and was the first house that actually introduces the term ‘house’. This house is also known as the house of the sun. (Jemal will take this house) 7: Centaurus This is the house of nature. Mostly druids and rangers are members of this house. The leader of this house is the hierophant druid, who is called Chiron. (Rino will take this house) 8: Lyra This is the house of artists, this is the least influential of all houses, this is because the leaders mostly do not care about politics. But a few times in history, when a strong, political leader would stand up, this house influence would quickly grow. (Byrons_Ghost will take this house) 9: Corona Austrina This house, also called the nine house, or the power below, consists of the common people. This house is the newest house, and was created 5 years ago. It despices Tarus and doesn’t look kindly on Leo either. The other houses laugh about this house, as it is not more than a lot of people screaming what they want for now. The Corona is based on democratic views, but this leads to a lot of squabling within. The name means: The Southern Crown, which is supposed to mean The power below according to it’s founders. (Bob Aberton will take this house) In case nobody noticed yet, all the houses are named after Constellations. If you want to add another house, go right ahead, I used this website for the constellations: [url]http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellation_list.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
