House Bagon

Leader: Shelgon Bagon- A soft-spoken, elderly man whose once proud voice has grown quiet with the years. Known for his ritualistic daily walks along the Sons’ Wall, where he murmurs old names no one else remembers.

Great house: Formerly independant, now under House Gha'ard.

Province: Bagonbreak

Economy: What remains of House Bagon’s economy is centered on subsistence farming, orchard-tending, and the management of what little arable land remains untouched by military construction. Once known for their rich soil and peaceful harvests, they now till fields primarily to feed the Gha’ard garrisons. Their produce is taxed nearly to the root. Any excess they grow is seized in the name of “supporting the sons of order.”

Military: Nonexistent. After their fall, House Bagon was forbidden from raising even a militia. Their youths are conscripted into House Gha’ard’s armies like and treated like those of Commoners and Serfs, with any hint of martial training among Bagon’s own considered a treasonous offense. They are, in effect, a house of farmers in noble name only.

Culture: House Bagon still clings to old customs such as planting rites beneath moonlight, songs to Rae-Diant and Brair-Run before harvest, and secret offerings to the soil. Some say these are the last traces of a time when peace defined nobility.

Within their halls (such as they are as they have since been reduced and repurposed into Gha’ard training lodges), they keep ancestral scrolls hidden behind loose bricks or buried in orchard roots. Their speech is formal, humble, and always deferential, though older members are said to carry long memories behind their blank expressions.

Children of House Bagon are now raised to endure. They are taught old folk sayings such as "The blade cuts quicker, but the root runs deeper."

Histroy: Long ago, House Bagon ruled over the province now called Bagonbreak. It was then a fertile, quiet land with patchworks of fields in the forest clearings, large orchards, and shrines to Rae-Diant and Brair-Run. House Bagon governed with light touch, trading freely with Moonband and offering sanctuary to nobles and commoners who passed through The Brair-Wild and it's deadly clutches

That peace was broken when House Gha’ard, a rising military power at the time, accused House Bagon of a combination of heresy and political crime, both of which they provide dubious evidence for. When Bagon refused to conscript its own sons into war, hoping for a peaceful negotiation, Gha’ard declared them unfit to hold noble land. The conquest was swift and cruel with few able to come to their aid.

When Gha’ard claimed the land, they renamed the province Bagonbreak, a word meant to echo the shattering of the old order and the humiliation of those who came before. House Bagon was not wiped out, but broken intentionally, so their descendants might serve as a living warning to others.

Now, they wear fine clothes made of plain thread, hold noble names with no power, and serve banquets they cannot taste. But in their silence, they remember
