House of Boggan Organization in Galfin | World Anvil

House of Boggan

From the mist-kissed waters of Retch to the dense thickets of the Echose Marshland, the name Boggan resonates with an age-old prestige. A Shiman lineage rooted deep in history, the House of Boggan rose from humble beginnings to shape the destiny of Paladé, and later, the vast expanses of Palandis. Their emerald hair, a distinctive hallmark, reflects their close ties to the lush terrains they called home. Leaders, warriors, visionaries – the Boggans have always been at the forefront, whether charting the dangerous waters, navigating the intricacies of political gambits, or wielding swords and strategies with equal finesse. Their matriarchal traditions hold longstanding power, ensuring that the soils of their legacy flourish across generations. Yet, amidst their glories, the shadows of ambition, betrayal, and resilience dance, painting a tapestry rich with tales of triumphs and tribulations. Their unofficial motto, "Let Your Enemy Tire", encapsulates their enduring spirit, bearing testament to a house that stands unyielding amidst the waves of time.
