The line of the Knights of Lancre goes back to 4000BC. Founding the first knightly group in Fanatika, this bloodline gave the knighthood in fanatika its birth.

We look back to history of knighthood, always looking at what is best for the country and our people. The knights of Lancre always were serving the nation and the populace at their best.

At the moment, the Knight of Lancre, disorganizer, is traveling through Fanatika with full armor to help people out of trouble and proclaim preparation to war against the aztecs.

Lancre itself lies on the border of the lower valey and the sea. Located on a mountain near morgana and on the entry portal to the valeys from the ocean, it has magnificent views of both the upper and lower valeys. The castle itself is ontop the hill, with a perfect strategic location to controll the access of the lower valey to the ocean.

The Great House of Vanir incorporates the lesser houses of Sands, Seabrake and Lankrensee. Information on the House and Lands may be found here.

The JDs have a long, shadowy history. Many years ago, an ancestor came from a distant world to visit. He liked Fanatika more and more, and moved here, bringing the clan along as well. One of his first actions was to join the Fanatikan Hawks Citizen Group, a branch of the influential political party ruled by his relatives in Apolytonia. Rising from obscurity, the family purchased a castle on their mountain estate and built up its wealth. Sir JDD2007 was knighted recently and will soon go on a gallant crusade against the Aztecs. A brother will take care of his bussiness affairs while he is gone, including the stake in the FTP, the largest JD financial venture as of yet. Maybe someday JD will have his own company, but now the family is furnishing the castle and preparing for the upcoming war.

The noble House of Aegir has a long and heroic past. Martin the Righteous, founder of the bloodline, unified the southeastern Fanatik tribes (in today's Montebello county) into a unified Fanatika. His son, William the Just, layed down the early laws of Montebello (at the time outside of Fanatika proper) and created a semi-autonomous body of Fanatikans. Following the annexation to the city-state of Bavaria, Montebello and the Aegir house flourished under its current patriarch, Sir Grandmaster. The other sons of William went off and joined the Army, establishing the Montebello Sword Regiment. In the coming Aztec War, it is hoped that this well-trained regiment will lead the charge. With construction recently completed of the Aegir Castle at Montebello, this noble bloodline is destined for a long and glorious existence.

Cupertaina
The house of Cupertania an old and glorious house. One of the first to be established, it resides on the Penguin Lake. The head of the house is holder of the title "Penguin of the Lake" . This is a respected title, for the first Penguin was a Egocentric founder of Fanatika. He headed the Bank and chisled out the rules of the FRA. Also, members of the house of Cupertania is a noted technological house, funding research when others would not.
Thus is the House of Cupertania.

St. Mark's Point
The House of Octavian has resided on the mountain of St. Mark's Point for as long any Fanatikan can remember. It has long been remembered as an instumental one in development of the courts of Fanatika, and reknown for the mercy and justice it has shown thoughout her history.

Despite the fact that the Octavians are known for their fairness, the first of our ancestors were warriors. In the early days of Bavaria, the countryside was full of barbarian hordes, reaking havok in all places at all times. At the time of the development of the Fanatika Military, my ancestor, Octavian I, rose through the ranks to become an important general. He led campaigns against the savages. Then, in a final, decisive battle between a coalition of barbarians and my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather led Fanatikan forces to victory against a larger, faster, and better equiped barbarian forces. After that great battle, he was honored as a war hero, and settled his family to a peaceful life next to the ocean on the mountain of St. Mark's Point. His decendents went on, not in the warlike life, but as one of service to Fanatika, through cartography, record keeping, and justice.

Many years have passed, and the Octavia Manor, a great castle sits there today. The mountian itself if a beautiful one. Even on cloudy days, one may see the very borders of Fanatika.

This is the story of the long honored House of Octavian.

The history of the Plexian clan is a cloudy one. Up until 4000bc, little was known of them. Thier oral traditions tell of a fertile land in the clouds, which they call "Plexianu" or "high above the clouds". Plexians, as they were called, showed an afinity for the hawk, much like some love thier dogs. Hawks were revered by the Plexians until the dark times came.
The Plexian people were a democratic people until the warrior Shi'lagh took over in a bloody coup. Shi'lagh ruled with an iron fist. After five years of rule, he was losing popularity to his top general named Alkazah. Alkazah mysteriously disappeared after a weekend of meditation. There were wide-spread riots in Plexia. Shi'lagh ordered his warriors to kill the citizens, they did so and he fled Plexia with his wife.
A few Plexians fled and made it to Bavaria, there they took on the surname "Plexia".

The Barony of Kultis is located in the hills overlooking the Great Eastern Sea, northwest of what is now known as Morgana. The family has dwelt there since time immemorial, protecting the peoples from the outlaws that once roamed the hills. There were once pressures from neighboring Lancre, but they were resisted, and the two families have since become friends, to the point that the lands of Kultis (and Mara) are often included in the broad term "District of Lancre"

The County of Mara is a fertile grassland located at the head of the broad valley that sweeps south and East from a point between Morgana and Bavaria. It, too, was once coveted by Lancre, but noble intermarriages in the past brought it into the sphere of the Barony, which helped protect it from takeover. The current Count of Mara is childless, and on his death, the title will pass to the Baron of Kultis.

The Current Baron of Kultis (and soon to be Count, for the Count is aged and ill) is the middle child of a large family. His two elder brothers were killed fighting the marauders and bandits that once roamed their beautiful hill country, while his younger siblings have chosen to become priests, or to seek their fortunes in other lands.

The Baron was fostered out at an early age, as is the custom, and was raised by several of the noble families of Fanatika. He has, therefore, close ties with the Seabrakes, and the Aegir, as well as with Cupertina and Lancre. While still a fosterling, as well as during his later wanderings, he became known as a peaceful philosopher. He is said to dream of a time when Fanatika will be known for its cultural achievements as well as its warriors' prowess.

Those who fear he is soft, however, are soon taught the error of their ways. For while he is gentle with those in his care, is is ruthless towards his enemies. While he yearns for peace, he understands the necessity of war, particularly in thse brutish times.

The Teotihuacan noble family has lived in exile in Fanatika ever since Montezuma came into power and began to conquer the free people of the southern lands. My ancestor fled the city after the court was disolved and their lands taken. They walked waiting to find the sign their patron god, Tlaloc, gave them. Join a city by the sea with heards of cow-a-plenty. After years in the wilderness they came upon another civilization, founders of Bavaria and known as Fanatikans. They gave my anscestors comfort and safety, they took them in as their own. But they never forgot the tirany that they had escaped and vowed to return one day and take back what was theirs. When they fled the citadel they carried with them ancient treasures from old, among these where the Ahuizotzin insignia, a great, golden armor with quetzal feathers and a jaguar headdress, embowed with magical powers that make enemies flee when they see it. It reflects only starlight and is never worn unless the tide of battle threatens to drown you. They also carried a sacred, ancient, ring of fire. Hidden for many years and believed lost until recently.
While Montezuma has taken control of most of the cities to the south, Teotihuacan still awaits her rightfull leader, me, Ehecatl Atzin, heir to her throne.

Ehecatl Atzin

I had already posted this, mistakenly, in the Lines of Nobility thread. I shall re-post here.

As I am an outlander, these names may be unknown to you.

Sir Cyc, of the Milzeners in Upper Lausitz, leaders of men in war and peace. Part of the Wend, who marched with the Goths during the Great Migration. Descendents of the Merovee Clan with bloodties to the Lady of Gefion of Denmark, jewel of the Baltic. We have the same bloodties with the Thingelannd Clan, where rumors of Berserks and Hirthmen sprinkle our past. It has even been said that we are off-spring of Godwulf himself.

But these are things of the past. I do not speak of them now. I am a long forgotten prodigal son of a distant, powerful tribe.

See me now as a Knight of the Realm...
