The House of Reckoning

Based on the search for resources, and later Directorate pressure, westward expansion in the decades following Advent was strong. Thousands went west, fought, died, and slowly carved out civilization from the lands lost to the Rending. The first official areas established, the midland Provinces, remained defended and controlled (as much as anything in those days) by the Directorate. But as expansion continued and the leagues and generations between east and west grew, the control by, and protection of, The Directorate stuttered.

When the Territories rose up along the frontier and rulers more interested in their own power than service to the Directorate took control, law in many places broke down. With no unified source of order, chaos bubbled up in the cracks between spheres of influence, and the Directorate on the other side of the realm, could do little to stop it. Some even say, perhaps they let it take place to prove their worth.

The crime and violence built for years, turning the west into a dangerous morass of robbery and murder, until one man stepped into the gap. The revered Swordmaster Elderow, fed up with regional bickering, and Eastern posturing, took matters into his own hands. He raised his own House. Not for lineage, or glory, but for justice. The House of Reckoning would do what others could or would not, and would restore order to the western lands. In only months, those who had run rampant learned to fear Elderow’s sigil and the warriors who soon joined his House.

On The Directorate

by jeremiah on October 27, 2016 at 19:00
Posted In: Gearspire

Upon his return from the West, following his First Grand Tour, Tavali set about compiling his notes and correspondences into what would become his first great work, Tavali’s History of the West.

Only while working upon this tome did the lack of suitable, unified information regarding the East, the history since the Rending, and the rise of the Directorate in the following centuries make itself apparent to him. Upon completion of his first edition of the History of the West, he set out to rectify this concerning problem with what he hoped would be the definitive work to chronicle the vast history that composed the Eastern timeline.

While critics do not consider the subsequent work as groundbreaking as his Western volume, and many say his lack of enthusiasm for Directorate policies robs this work of the flair and enthusiasm that graces his first history, it still stands as one of the few sources of knowledge for many of the events surrounding Advent and those first tenuous years upon the surface.

Hail the Brazen Blood

None of you dawnland fools know anything.

Pathetic.

Your precious hero Tavali thinks he can ask a few questions, write a few words, and understand us?? You don’t even know the depths of your own ignorance, nor the shallowness of your own strength.

We will sweep across your precious land like a tide and reclaim what should rightfully be ours!

Cowards. Moles. Weak willed mewling wretches. Hiding. Always hiding. When the storm breaks we will fall on you like a tide, and you will understand pain. Pain like you’ve never known. Pain that grinds your souls to ash and your spirits to powder.

We will take back the dawnlands you abandoned and repay you for the sins of your mothers and fathers.

You can’t stop us. You can’t face us. You can’t stand before us.

You will all fall.

HAIL THE BRAZEN BLOOD!

Hail the Brazen Blood!
