House Amadis

House of Vigilance, House of Wrath, House of Grief
For centuries, House Amadis has stood as the unyielding bulwark of the eastern border, guarding the Kingdom of Gorundia against tides of orcs, Dominion soldiers, and unspeakable creatures that threaten its lands. This noble house bears the weight of its sacred duty with honor and strength, earning its titles as the House of Vigilance, the House of Wrath, and the House of Grief.
Guardians of the Border Entrusted with securing the kingdom’s eastern flank, House Amadis has built a formidable army and armory to meet the relentless dangers that loom across the border. With fortresses dotting the plains and watchtowers standing sentinel over key passes, the house remains ever vigilant. Generations of Amadis lords and knights have devoted themselves to perfecting the art of war, training tirelessly to be the first and final line of defense for Gorundia.
House Amadis is more than a sword; it is the backbone of the eastern border’s survival. By cultivating a network of political alliances, strategic loyalties, and robust supply lines, the house has fortified not only its strongholds but also its influence. Its warriors march not only with steel in hand but with the assurance of unshakable support from allies who respect and fear the strength of their vigilance.
Masters of Horse and Field Blessed with vast, fertile plains, the lands of House Amadis are ideal for raising some of the finest horses in the kingdom. These noble steeds are highly sought after, with their speed, endurance, and elegance unmatched across Gorundia. Often gifted to the nobility as a symbol of favor, these horses are a source of great pride and prestige for House Amadis.
With such extraordinary mounts come the legendary knights of House Amadis, who are renowned for their mastery in the saddle. Clad in steel and draped in the house’s proud heraldry, these knights are a terrifying sight on the battlefield, thundering across the plains to deliver devastating charges against their enemies. Their motto, often whispered in awe, is simple yet unyielding: "We ride for Gorundia. We fall for Gorundia."
House of Wrath When the enemies of Gorundia dare to trespass or overstep their bounds, House Amadis reacts with swift and decisive action. No transgression is ignored, and no slight is forgiven. Like a blade tempered in the fires of wrath, the warriors of House Amadis strike with a fury that few can withstand.
This wrath is not blind—it is precise, deliberate, and devastating. The most infamous example of their vengeance came in recent history during the House War with the Golitsyns. Provoked by betrayal and longstanding tensions, House Amadis unleashed its full might, leading to the total destruction of House Golitsyn in a bloody conflict that reshaped the political landscape. The war was a grim reminder that, though House Amadis is a defender, it is also a destroyer when provoked.
House of Grief The Amadis name carries with it a legacy of sacrifice and sorrow, for the burden of standing on the front lines is heavy. The house has endured centuries of loss—lords, knights, soldiers, and kin who have given their lives for the kingdom. These sacrifices are honored with solemn rituals and memorials, ensuring that every life lost is remembered.
The grief of House Amadis is not a weakness but a strength. It fuels their resolve and reminds them of their duty. Each scar, whether on their bodies or in their hearts, is a testament to their enduring loyalty to Gorundia.
Legacy of Vigilance House Amadis does not forget. It does not forgive. Yet it endures. For generations, it has stood unbroken against forces that would tear Gorundia apart, holding the line with unmatched ferocity and discipline.
Even in times of peace, the shadow of war lingers on the horizon. And when the call to arms is sounded, the war banners of House Amadis are the first to rise. Their legacy is etched in steel, their wrath burns eternal, and their grief is the unyielding price of vigilance.
