The Houses of Chimera

House Emblem
 The Emblem of House Atterrius is the everlasting and eternal Oruoboros dragon, who encircles an ever outward reaching tree, believed to be a representation of Yggdrasil. The emblem proves the power, cunning and influence of the King Chimera and is everlasting quest.


House Maxim: "Resurgam." - "I will rise again."

House History:
  The First house of Chimera, founded by King Chimera himself in the dawn of his first life. This was the first house of the Tribunal, followed by House Dreighoson and House of the Dead. House Atterrius is known for it's cunning and political prowess as well as it's formidable military, however it's glory days have long since passed. The House of Atterrius is little more than a position of power and authority on part of King Chimera since the house was all but disbanded approximately 12 years ago, after the royal guard of House Nostro failed to protect his family.

House Affiliations:
- House Bastille :  "The Peacekeepers of my realm. Formidable soldiers and engineers that serve me in defending my people."
- House Dreighoson : "The house of my brother, the native warriors of Rune magic and shifting. It is as if they are my own."
- House Fralon : "They are interesting little things, always looking for the next opponent."
- House Lourishna : "The descendants of Xayn serve me as well as their predecessor did. They may not be my finest soldiers, but their loyalty and knock for improvising both on and off the battlefield makes them useful."
- House Moriath : "The followers of Sadrith Mori and his cult of blood magic. It's hard to believe an entire house grew from one accidental magic trick over 300 years ago..."
- Horde of Polaris : "They worship me as the proxy of some eternal dragon God that was meant to cull the earth and begin sowing the seeds of a new era. They are far more powerful and enduring than any human soldier, and their shaman's magic are quite...interesting."
- House Nostro : "My royal guard used to be exclusively made of Nostro and his Sentinels. Of course, Nostro was family, so it was only fitting that he died the night that my family had. Unfortunately for The Witch of Winter... He didn't stay that way. "
- House of Pain : "Anarchists that attempt to slime their way up nice and close to me. So be it, I'll let them close enough to let them feel warmed by my fires, close enough to eat at my table...but never close enough to use that dagger they hide."
- House of the Dead : "My brother, Thorgron's house. The House of the Dead was a very questionable decision I made from my youth...it's good to see even in my naivety there had been some wisdom."
- House Teslan : "The Telsan were not a descendant of a soldier, they were not the heirs to any empire. It was their information network and their...subtle touch that drew them to us.. and I'm oh so happy it did."
- House Tetchunam : "The Witch of Winter and her master's foul purpose may have taken my family, and they may raise my soldiers...but Nostro is proof that love can conquer death. The Tetchunam will never be accepted by the other houses, but they fear invoking my wrath should they act out against Nostro and his new house."

-The King Chimera

House Emblem
 The emblem of the House Bastille is a beautiful emblem of a golden shield and a ruby gem in the center of a winged, headless entity. The golden shield seems to rest before a blue-steel sword with wings growing from the side and the heads of two knights with their heads turned to vigilantly watch are mounted at the base.


House Maxim: "Manus multae cor unum." - "Many hands, One Heart."

House History: The House Bastille was granted the honor of becoming a house of Chimera when they dispatched soldiers to assist Chimera in the defense of the Horde of Polaris lands from The Witch of Winter. Their valor and loyalty did not go unnoticed when they rescued Polaris's child from combat, making them the only house to earn the respect of Polaris's horde. The House Bastille works across the land to fortify defenses and improve conditions for the adverse lands of their world. This is the most scientifically advanced house since House Atterrius.

House Affiliations:
- House Atterrius : "The Ouroboros himself is all that remains of his once great house. He may not have a house, but he does not rule us through fear. We will serve him for it was he that uplifted us, protected us and sheltered us. Now it is our turn to repay the debt."
- House Dreighoson : "The house of the Silver Wolf. Their warriors are barbaric and uncounted, but somehow incredibly effective. They use their rune magic to bypass our constructs and defenses as if they were nothing...We must continue to improve."
- House Fralon : "Their hatred of us is something we cannot understand. It seems ingrained into their minds that we are somehow the enemy. I suppose that's simply how they are. As we of the Bastille were born to build and fight, the Fralon are born to destroy and die."
- House Lourishna : "The house founded on complete lunacy. We will not question The King's competence or reasoning for allowing such a house to be founded... but we will always wonder his reasoning for allowing such an impossible tale to be the reasoning."
- House Moriath : "Filthy magic users and vampires with a taste for blood. These are quite easily the most deplorable creatures that The King has sheltered and honored with a house. I surely wish they would make a mistake so that we could wipe them from this world."
- Horde of Polaris : "The Polaris are barbaric, they make the Dreighoson seem like civilized nobles. But they have always been there to defend us whenever we needed it, even if they aren't the most pleasant of neighbors."
- House Nostro : "The House Bastille could only hope to one day eclipse House Nostro. For we are both beings of defense, we practice the art of defending one and other. The Nostro with their bodies and souls, the Bastille with their minds and constructs."
- House of Pain : "Degenerates, the lot of them. They live in depravity, lawlessness and chaos. It's surprising that they can amass the numbers in an army like they can, on such short notice. I swear every now and again I can see one of those...things...attacking our soldiers on the battlefield."
- House of the Dead : "A wonderful idea, though I would never admit it publically. A legion of expendable soldiers that are redeemed in the eyes of Chimera through commitment and service."
- House Teslan : "No one trusts them, but if there's one thing I know... I know that I can trust them to be untrustworthy."
- House Tetchunam : "The filthy legion of untouchables, in service to the King Chimera for who knows why. I don't trust them, for all we know they're all just pawns to The Witch of Winter and the darker threat she serves."

Notable Members:
-Korin Bastille - The Head of House Bastille. He has the power to generate the image of whatever he mentally pictures on any surface he desires. He is not a formidable warrior, however he is an unparalleled genius in the world of engineering and defensive tactics.
- Lucian Reinhardt - The Champion of House Bastille, he is a hyper durable individual with the power to absorb damage that would be done to anything he is attempting to protect into himself or anything attached to his person or in his possession.

House Emblem
  The Emblem of House Dreighoson is the ever fierce wolf, carved and crafted in an almost Nordic fashion. The center of the wolves head is the runic marking of "valknut" which is indicative of "Slain Warriors" and honorable deaths, as the creator of this house was the only original member of Chimera to fall in battle, saving his brothers. The three floating triangles around the wolf are indicative of the initial tribunal, the three founders of Chimera.



House Maxim: "Memento Mori" - "Remember, you will die."

House History: The third house of the Tribunal, all under their enigmatic and mysterious Silver-Wolf, the leader whom has long since passed form the world.

- House Lourishna : "The stories of Lourishna are pretty awesome! They say he turned into a giant raven and flew into the stars! I wonder why he did that..."
- House Moriath : "We stay away from those guys. They don't are if you're animal or human...they'll bleed ya dry all the same. We go anywhere near their lands and they'll try to take our blood just for the magic in it."
- Horde of Polaris : "Izra Polaris is the leader of that horde, and they're a rough and tough bunch. They're the whole reason we had to head out of our territory and start migrating from land to land. Let me get one good reason to sink some fangs into 'em!"
- House Nostro : "Nostro was a great warrior, an even better royal guard. whenever we see that house patrolling a town we know to stay away. We're on the same side...but nothing fun ever happens when their around. Break anything around them and they look at you like you're a threat."
- House of Pain : " We agree with their hatred of useless laws. The only laws we follow are the laws of our ancestors! Keep what you kill, battle all you can and leave it all out there. But they're all cowards. They want pain? I'll show 'em pain!"
- House of the Dead : "One of the other Tribunal houses. We camp out in their lands a lot. For a bunch of ex con's and killers...they really got a good sense of loyalty."

House Emblem
 The emblem of House Fralon is what appears to be two wings of fire surrounding a red gem. Upon closer inspection, it would also appear that it could also be two different birds of fire chasing each other around a red sphere. The Sphere represents the Chimera and the dual-perception surrounding the fire-birds means that they are both a contributor of Chimera, but are also independent enough that they can act upon their own accord.


House Maxim: "Marcet sine adversario virtus" - "Valor becomes useless without a worthy opponent"

House History: The House Falron are a legion of soldiers that are most commonly known for their brave, if not reckless advances as well as their hostility to normal humans. The Falron are self-proclaimed "Independents" whose pride refuses for them to admit just how much they rely upon Chimera. This legion of soldiers is responsible for the betterment and continual offensive planning and strategy utilized by Chimera.

House Affiliations:
- House Atterrius : "It's just one man. He can be dealt with...but when he comes back? That wouldn't be a fun day."
- House Bastille : "Those peasants think that just because The King Chimera favored them for saving those savages that it makes them a formidable force. Bah, they wouldn't know formidable if it smacked them upside the head. Just wait until the day comes when the King Chimera isn't there to protect them anymore...then we'll REALLY get them."
- House Dreighoson : "Barbarians, crude and primitive but effective. The only problem is that they seem to rely on this strange magic. A blade is worth any number of spells. Perhaps they could be educated..."
- House Lourishna : "A house that's glorified by a myth. Everyone knows that The King Chimera was on drugs when he imagined a man turning into a raven and flying into the stars. They don't even deserve the title of a House.
- House Moriath : "Godsdamned blood-letting mages that can use blood against their victims, or even consume the life-essence within it. I've watched too many soldiers get their blood drained from their armor for some sick psychopath in dress clothes."
- Horde of Polaris : "Savages, all of them. I stand by our decision to attempt to burn them all after the Nuclear warhead hit."
- House Nostro : "Not as skilled soldiers as us, however when it comes to defense and staring off into space they are certainly an unequaled adversary."
- House of Pain : "Those Anarchists will know exactly what it means to have law by the time this all ends."
- House of the Dead : "Once a traitor, always a traitor. Once a murderer, always a murderer."
- House Teslan : "They can be of use to us, perhaps we should reach out to them..."
- House Tetchunam : "Unnatural, abhorrent and awful things that are a repugnant and disgusting contortion of the Gods creation. A good purging may be exactly what this 'House' needs."

House Maxim: "inceperat a sanguine, a sanguine perditus" - "By blood begun, by blood undone"

House History: The disciples of Sadrith Mori, a boy that gained the power of hematokinesis when being injected with an experimental cure for his terminal illness. Sadrith Mori went on to found a cult which worshipped death and was profanely contorted and twisted by the acceptance of vampires.

- House Lourishna : "The Ravens that pretend to be so high and mighty forget that their very own patron was once part of our order. Xayn had to pay the price of magic somehow, didn't he?"
- Horde of Polaris :  "Oh such chilled beings, frigid and callous. Their blood is like a milkshake but oh so heavy and sluggish to react to our calls."

- House of Pain : "They really know how to party, I have to say I think I like our neighbors. A lot."

- House Tetchunam : "Oh now if you're looking for something truly wretched you should turn your eyes to this house, for it is they who need a baptism by fire. Cremate those poor, sorry souls, for all of us."

House Emblem
  The Horde of Polaris is an icy biohazard symbol, as cold and frigid as the souls of those whom belong to it. The Emblem is truly the most accurate representation of this horde, as they perceived as nothing but a menace to all things.


House Maxim: "Missit me Rex, mos maiorum" - "The King has sent me, as is the custom of our ancestors."

House History: Surviving the lands of a Nuclear winter can be impossible. Resources are scarce, and you must exert yourself over others to prove you are worthy of survival. It's do or die, all the time. One small accident could lead to certain death, especially in the icy tundra of their homes. In this place, you fight for everything you can get, but knowing your place is also important. Ritualistic suicide of a weak or injured/sick individual is considered the closest thing to honorable that they could do. These people are capable of things that humans, and metahumans in our society would deem to be monstrous and horrific. They joined House Chimera because of King Chimera assisting the long-lasting tribe in their escape and preservation after the Ice-Age and into the Nuclear winter of the era. Izra remembers how The King Chimera, a stranger taught them the way towards survival and continues to assist them, even proving to be a formidable combatant against even those superior to him in strength. Izra also wishes the destruction of The Eternal, therefore joined with Chimera simply out of King Chimera's request to ally until The Eternal can be destroyed.

- House Dreighoson : "Not so weak humans, but very small in numbers. Not a threat to us, in fact there is much we could teach each other. They are the only humans I know who truly understand what it means to truly survive."
- House Fralon :  "Many, many frail and weak little humans, but with numbers that overwhelmed us. We will get them...just wait until The Son of the Eternal sleeps in death once more."
- House Lourishna : "Spies that speak to the ravens. They watch and crow, but few of them peck. They have many tools. Tools that are like magic."
- House Moriath : "The Blood sings to them, just as the flesh of our prey sing to us. Survival is all we can strive for. No matter who you are."
- House Nostro : "The Son of the Eternal seems to believe that this "Nostro" would once have been able to defeat any two of us, except maybe Izra. I would have loved to put that to the test...maybe I still can."

- House of the Dead : "They are not dead."

This represents the House of Nostro's incredible and formidable role as the protectors and the most loyal defenders of Chimera and even (previously) the descendants of the King Chimera


House Maxim: "Malo mor quami foedari" - "I choose Death before Dishonor"

House History: House Nostro is known to be the house of Chimera Sentinels. This house has the most superbly trained and elite guards from anywhere in chimera. They are defenders of the people, however in more recent years they had only been defenders of House Atterrius. The House was named after Nostro Aelros, a personal guard to The King Chimera. Nostro was killed by poison the night that King Chimera's family was murdered. The Sentinels remained a thing, but they were trained in more masses and were forced to protect more than just House Atterrius, as it had disbanned.

Akirva himself is also known for having a form of electro sense pulse that allows his body to move, prepare and react to something up to five minutes before it happens.

House Emblem
  The House of Pain's logo appears to be a devil-horned circle, barbed and jagged surrounding an inner circle that has an anarchy circle turned onto it's side, and the strike through the A has been extended to transform the A into a P. The House of Pain is the most chaotic and least loyal/obedient house to the Chimera, but it's uses have made them too valuable to be dismissed.  


House Maxim: "Vita est dolor" - "Life is Pain"

House History: The House of Pain is under the leadership of Stephen Payne and his younger brother Aramis Payne. The House of Pain is an anarchist group that revels in the suffer of others and the power that it feeds.

- Horde of Polaris : "Those guys are creepy. Genuinely creepy. Ice men are not good men...that much is for sure."

- House Tetchunam : "Now even I have to say, I'm impressed. To defy death is really...way to go. But uh... maybe there's some rules we SHOULD keep. Like what's dead should stay that way... we might wanna consider revisiting burning the whole damn forest to the ground."

House Emblem
  The House of the Dead have the emblem of a grey, pale lion with glazed over eyes mounted and seemingly cast into an iron shield. This represents the finality, inescapable fate and irrefutable purpose of this House.

House Maxim: "morior invictus" - "I die unvanquished"

House History: Thorgron The Destroyer, the second member of the original Tribunal was given this house as he was not a man of nobility or of any land. He knew the King Chimera in their youth. After becoming King Chimera's champion he began to conscript convicts, orphans and deserters that had been captured. From there they held a funeral for the individual as a way to provide them with an honorable "death" before they served their entire lives conscripted into the House of the Dead.

House Affiliations:

- House Bastille : "They provide a most useful service for the whole of Chimera. It is good to have them receive the proper recognition."
- House Dreighoson : "Another house from the Tribunal, like my father. I'm unsure how I feel about them and their strange, primitive mentality. But as my father trusted the wolves, so will I."

- House of Pain : "They're borderline lawless, even Polaris and her horde have more decency and civility than that group. I'm not sure what my uncle has done to garner their respect, but it is clear that they have their own agenda and they WILL slip up. When they do... My soldiers will be waiting."
- House Teslan : "Lasavar and Dante have truly made House Teslan one of the most powerful houses in all of Chimera. They prove that through simple rumor and intelligence they can destroy another house, or even a country...and they never need to touch a weapon to do it."
- House Tetchunam : "Nostro's resurrection took us all by surprise. My uncle's willingness to accept him back to the fold of Chimera was all the more of a surprise, but I will trust in his judgement. Trusting in his judgement, but ever watching."

House Emblem
  The Teslan are the only house in Chimera whom do not have an emblem. Emblems were deemed too flashy for this secretive and shady house that revel in darkness and secrets.

House Maxim: "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur" - "The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived."

House History: A House of Chimera, and the most recently accepted into the fold. The Teslan was a minor part of nobility from within the House Atterrius, but eventually broke away when the King Chimera's bastard son left from the disbanded house and joined forces with the Teslan family. Between the secrets of the Teslan and the support of the bastard prince, the house thrived under Lasarav as they began to acquire the secrets of the global powers and have been rapidly scaling the ranks as they serve King Chimera closely.

- House Fralon : "Proud? No, the Fralon are arrogant. Do you know the difference between pride, and arrogance? Pride means you're assured, arrogance mean's you're compensating for something."
- House Lourishna : "The House Lourishna are rapidly on the rise, soon they might even become more interesting..."

- House of the Dead : "The son of the destroyer has assumed a seamless transition into his father's role as head of their House. But I wonder if the sins of the father shall be the death of the son."
- House Tetchunam : "Ah, so Nostro returns. That is unsettling, to say the least. I wonder if poison would work as well this time around as well..."

House Emblem
  The Emblem of House Tetchunam is the morbid broken skull, with the rare, but beautiful Dragonrose growing from it's left eye socket. This is symbolic of the supernatural and inhuman connection that the Tetchunam have with death, but also the incredible natural order they preserve.


House Maxim: "De mortuis aegris et afflictis et suscipiebat omnes esse in nostra Domus" - "Of the dead and afflicted, all be received by our house."

House History: The House of Tetchunam was created after House Teslan brought the body of Nostro to The Eternal and offered him up to The Void. After a strange reaction, occurred The Eternal had seemed to resurrect Nostro as an undead. However before Nostro could strike Dante down, he seemed to recall fragments of his life and vows, breaking free of The Eternal's grasps. Nostro slaughtered all others of House Teslan and drug their bodies back as he took Dante prisoner and returned him to the King Chimera. Nostro was sought after and examined by many people, but after the assistance of King Chimera, Nostro regained full control of himself and his newfound powers as an undead lich, and thus The Tetchunam were founded. The Undead are said to be without the soul, and so cut off from mother earth, however, Nostro seems to have cultivated a very strange bond with nature despite his state of unearth.

House Affiliations:
- House Atterrius : "Here, in second life, I am your servant."
- House Bastille : "One day when all of us have long since passed and are left to dust, Nature will reclaim the stone from which their keeps were built."
- House Dreighoson : "I know the sons of the Silver Wolf will hunt us, and I do not blame them. For just as we once served The Eternal, they once served The Gods. It is in our nature to be at odds."
- House Fralon : "In life I did not appreciate the grandeur and gusto of the Fralon boasting. Now, in death, I truly can appreciate just how much that behavior fills my cities..."
- House Lourishna : "Lourishna's House need fear nothing from my people. We serve the same master, and are of the same cloth."
- House Moriath : "I often times wondered how it felt to have your life-force sucked away; how it was any different than using a sword to cut it away. Now I realize that to cut ones life-force away is to be a murderer, to feed on ones life-force is to be a monster."
- Horde of Polaris : "Very few of the Horde walk the halls of my cities, many of them still hold dear allegiance to Izra and her virtues. They do not make for pleasant company, but they do make for excellent guards."
- House Nostro : "It was a surprise to return and see The House of Sentinels renamed in my honor. I can still remember the night I died quite clearly, as the poison burned my throat and blood leaked from my eyes. But to return and see that my teachings have continued beyond me...it makes me feel as though I never truly died."
- House of Pain : "I will not deliver condemnation upon the House of Pain, for the gods know that I have caused enough to be amongst their ranks. I simply wish that they would have their hearts touched by Death so that they could truly understand the consequences for selfishness and a lack of allegiance."
- House of the Dead : "I was saddened to hear that Thorgron no longer leads The House of the Dead. His son looked at me the same way his father would have though, seeing me as a creature rather than a man. He was raised well..."
- House Teslan : "I despise them, for I believe it was the House of Teslan that had a hand in my demise, and certainly they had a hand in my resurrection. The question, however, is why?"
