House Haremarch

House Haremarch



House of the Hare

An old and very minor house from the Steadings that is notorious for their habits of feasting, breeding, and hunting. Further, their once large family was renowned for tampering in the wildlands and thus their crest of a horned hare (that doesn't even exist....probably) was often the end of jokes about how they were cursed for their meddling in things beyond their comprehension in the wildlands. Now, nearly a forgotten family, a group of them has returned from the woodlands in order to find that all of their lands and holdings have been forfeit, and so they must rebuild and reclaim once more. Their sights are set upon their old home territory of castle Miserth, though their proximity to nature and tendency to lean upon what many believe to be savage will be a difficult thing to overcome in these odd times for the 99th. 

The House Haremarch is looking for a couple/few retainers in order to expand our presence! This is a player run faction and has no NPC support beyond what we earn through in game actions.  You have what you bring with you, in short, and there is no prestige shop or otherwise to buy outfits or equipment. They are woodland folk, hunters, trappers, scouts, and otherwise are a bit off of the beaten path. Some notable bullet points are below, but beyond that some of the acceptable options are :

Class: Any, very difficult for Paladin
Alignment - Generally neutral, King fearing and favoring
Cooks / Butchers / Hunters / Haruspex (Druids that don't shift, possibly clerics or sorcerers in this title too)
Grizzled vets that took an arrow to the knee, or young hedge knights / wizards

Family FEELS AND VIBES

• A bit wild, a bit tribalistic, a bit civilized, and a large bit ambitious
  
  Looking to make great claims and status improvements upon their dwindling name
  
  Hold some deep family secrets with ties to AULD druidic magics, and yet are in deep opposition to changelings and their typical methods / circles.  (Ask a Haremarch for details if you desire)
  
  Held lands (tiny bits) in the steadings near Miserth before they were taken by much more powerful forces in their absence.
  
  Likely exaggerated tales from their father, who was killed in the deep woodlands by some manner of large beast, that he was once aid to the royal huntsman of Briar Glen and hunted lycans and other fantastic beasts with him.
  
  A fascination with the witch stones and their power, and capturing them to twist the magics within for their own house's power. A means to tame the beasts perhaps
  
  They used to keep / train / breed hunting hounds and other beasts for upper class huntsmen to enjoy. These tamed beasts, like many truly wild creatures, were often a nuisance and turned quite aggressive against folks. Those who did were sold and used for fighting / gambling /  games.
  
  They greatly desire the love of the King. This may be where their love for taming the druids / nature itself comes from long ago. Further, in the back of their minds, they believe that they are cursed somehow by the King for something their ancestors had done (Opened ended to discover in game if picked up)
  
  Big push to become a proper house entitled in the peerage. The 5th great Peerage house possibly, though they truly desire to claim and keep their old lands near Miserth and hold it as their estate.
