The House of Greymane
House Greymane is a major House of Lancaster, chief bannermen to House Thorne of Faeriedown and traditionally the leader of the House is the Marquess of Lionfang March. House Greymane was formed after the Tegdylun migration to the Mortal Plane, and thus do not have a favored Sidhe Lord. Long before the marriage that would combine Lancaster and The Empire, House Greymane stood as the continent's first shield against Gwelin incursion, and has accepted a larger than average Legion garrison within their walls, despite being generally opposed to the Empire on principle.
The Oath of Redemption
House Greymane's contribution to the Circle of Loyalty is the Oath of Redemption, a promise that Greymane will do whatever is necessary to make right any perceived wrongs of Lancaster. In modern times, this oath has hurt the House politically, as they are the loudest opponents to Lancaster being a part of the Empire and champion several unpopular but honorable causes. They view themselves as a less glamorous reflection of Lancaster's monarchy, and have chosen a grey lion on a dull red field to emphasize this. Their House words are Tooth and Claw, a reference to how hard they choose to fight for the sanctity of their Oath.Tooth and Claw
