House Regi-Stry
Leader: Sybil Regi-Stry
Great House: House Dinn
Province: Flaven
Economy: House Regis-Stry functions as the bureaucratic brain of Flaven, managing everything from ferry schedules to fungus-harvesting licenses. Most of their income comes from administrative fees, legal filings, documentation services, and fines issued for infractions like "Improper Marsh-Wading Without Permit C-47b." Their operations are deeply entwined with House Byoff, who handles toll collection, record enforcement, and the occasional creative “fee restructuring.” Together, they form a bureaucratic behemoth that no merchant or Noble dares to ignore.
Military: Modest and meticulously organized. Their guards, known as the Cutting Clerks, are more clipboard than claymore, enforcing order through citation and regulation. In times of true unrest, they subcontract armed assistance from House Boarder, ensuring trouble is filed away as cleanly as a tax receipt.
Culture: Every Regis-Stry noble is trained from birth to wield a quill like a rapier and a ledger like a shield. Bureaucracy is worshipped, ink stains are badges of honor, and paperwork is poetry. Their homes are libraries with bedrooms, and their sigils are embossed on stationary before armor. Their close alliance with House Byoff has fostered a culture of cooperative bureaucracy, with shared offices, cross-referenced filing systems, and weekly inter-house audits that are somehow both celebratory and soul-crushing.
History: Born of a scandalous union between a House Stry lineage clerk and a Dinn naval accountant, House Regis-Stry was legitimized as a practical solution to the administrative chaos of early Flaven. Lann Regis, their first lord, was granted dominion over the region's civil infrastructure, and it’s said he celebrated by cataloguing every tree in the marshes. Over time, Regis-Stry evolved into the spine of Flaven’s government, crafting the legal labyrinth through which every wagon, boat, and beast must pass. Their alliance with House Byoff has only solidified their reach. Byoff enforces the tolls and fines, while Regis-Stry writes the rules and stamps them six times in triplicate.
