	House de Vere was founded in pre-Imperial times by a noble of a now-forgotten house who completed a seemingly impossible Test of Mettle using a boon from the [[Barien\|Lord of the Crossroads]]. House de Vere’s heraldry is a silver owl in honour of Barien and the story of the founder, and the house motto “In Blood Anointed” draws its origins from the story of the House’s founding. The house's estate sits at the border of Karov and Weirwater; where the forest meets the hills.

	Though Ambition drives them, hospitality and Loyalty remain paramount among the de Lagriffe. The harshness of the Barrens has taught them that no soul endures alone. They welcome the Virtuous and the daring to their halls with camaraderie, sharing hard-won bread, songs, and dreams by firelight. Those who join them must be ready to fight, suffer, and rise again — for peace will not be given; it must be taken.

	House Goldvein prides itself on the diversity of talent and knowledge it recruits and fosters, with artisans, warriors, troubadours, witches and physicks all held in equal prominence within the ranks of the House's nobles and yeofolk, and all who can share a tale or unrecorded knowledge will find a warm welcome to the estates surrounding the Stryxstone Keep.

			====House Hart====
			* '''Location:''' Boar's Hollow
			* '''Heraldry:''' Hot pink hart and heart on crimson
			* '''Earl:''' Enchanter Barbus Hart
			House Hart is a newly founded noble house of Astolat, formed in the name of love, prosperity, and the celebration of beauty in all its forms. Though young, the Harts have gained a reputation for lavish hospitality, artistic patronage, and the belief that glory is achieved not only through war, but through the flourishing of culture, craft, and prosperity. Their words - "''No Glory in Want''" - capture this conviction: that splendour, not deprivation, is the truest measure of a great house.

			Hart Hall welcomes weary travellers, merchants, and wandering musicians alike. Music, poetry, fine craftsmanship, and grand feasts are woven into the house's identity, and its yeofolk are renowned as craftspeople, performers, and artisans. To the Harts, prosperity is cultivation, and the denial of beauty, comfort, or joy is considered vulgar.

			The house prizes the bond between creator and patron. While yeofolk create, the nobility prove themselves through patronage - funding great endeavours and ensuring beauty may flourish. A common Test of Mettle is not personal glory alone, but the ability to elevate others. To become a noble of House Hart is to take responsibility for the flourishing of others.

Bloodied though they may be, they proudly bear the rune of sacrifice upon their banners as they fight for a better world.

			Founded in 387YE, the Order of the Birdsong is the remaining ember of a former house that fell, leaving no nobles behind to keep its status.

			What little remained of the yeofolk of the house decided to remain loyal to their fallen earl, and band together from the rubble, to try and restore and reclaim the glory of the fallen house, taking in new allies, friends, and those in need under their wing along the way.

			The Order of the Birdsong leads these yeofolk on their tests of mettle in a quest for nobility and protection! Having seen the fall of their nobles, they seek to do what they can to protect as many people as they can and prevent further death and despair.

			All swear the oath of the Birdsong: “''Friends of Dawn will hear us sing, and be safe ‘neath our wing''”.

The Emerald Lance is a military and battlefield-focused union of houses from across Dawn. Its member houses publicly demonstrate their loyalty to the lance by seeking the right to display their house's favour on the lance banner.

	~~Within the lance sits~~ the Emerald ~~Alliance, a group of~~ houses ~~pledged to each other in a formal accord. Houses within the Emerald Lance may~~, ~~if they choose, request a test~~ to join the ~~Alliance~~.		While the Emerald Lance formally recognises entire houses as members, individuals are also welcome to join the lance as independent members or supporters.

	~~The~~ Emerald Alliance ~~is currently made up of House Caerleon~~, ~~House de Bastion, and House Gladewarden~~.		In 387YE, following the betrayal of Dawn's champion from the tale of the [[Deadwood_and_Rot\|Deadwood Knight]], the Emerald Lance went through a period of reformation in which the core political group of the Emerald Alliance was disbanded, leaving just the Emerald Lance as a dedicated military force with no central political goals or affiliations.

	The ~~wider~~ Emerald Lance ~~also includes~~ House Gryphontale, House de Vere, and House ~~Syrenus~~.		The favour-bearing Houses of the Emerald Lance are: House Caerleon, House de Bastion, House Gryphontale, House de Vere, House Syrenus, and House Solrené.
