When I saw the list of Wintrean nobility, I was disgusted that the knighthood I jokingly said Crushita gave me with the nonexistent power vested in him by the Potato Papacy wasn't listed, and clearly this is an act of religious discrimination.

I think we know what this calls for

All you former Ainurians just need to create a familial house together, especially if Weissreich comes back and finally starts up his epic house RP.

Hmm. I could just invite them all to the house of Telcontar.

How did the houses come to be in the first place?

The concept of houses predates Wintreath, and in fact when we separated from Spiritus some people brought their houses from there (although none of those continue to operate in Wintreath). Eventually people started forming their own informal houses...I believe Houses Meindhert (Weissreich, Amalya, etc.) and Kasten (Denth Kasten, Alterra, etc.) were the first and competed with each other for members and 'prestige'. Then later on I decreed houses to be a formal legal thing in the region, around the time I created the nobility system.

I see, so they were formed by those who'd been around awhile or they'd brought them with before you made it an official part of the region.

Or at least that's how I understand it.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Many regions actually have their own houses, some of which span multiple regions in parts of the games where people are part of multiple regions.

@Wintermoot I noticed that in the List of Wintreath Nobility, Weissreich, Zander, Amalya, and Pengu are listed with their full RP names, but Laurentus and Gerrick aren't? Just the minor inconsistency is bugging me a bit.

I didn't know Laurentus and Gerrick had RP names...please let me know if they do.

Ah, good point. I do believe we were just going to go with "Laurentus Valeria."

In that case, I've updated the list. Perhaps @Gerrick would like to weigh in on his own RP name too.

Speaking of Gerrick, I wasn't aware that he had registered a House in the first place...

Yeah, I think my official RP name will be Gerrick Burdock.

Just did.
