Grayson
Vassal of The Crown
Words: "None greater than Grayson"
Sigil: A snarling green griffin on a gray field.
Nicknames: Griffins. Grays. Badgers.
Arguably the most powerful house and without a doubt the proudest, House Grayson has ever justification for their pride. As the founders of the Compact and overwhelming majority of the kings and queens of the Compact of Arvum, they have long grown accustomed to ruling each of the other four great houses as their vassals. For that alone, they might be the proudest, but their greatest heroes are not those who saved the realm from the Reckoning- no, it is the woman who five hundred years ago reunited the Compact once more and shattered the power of the sylv'alfar, Queen Alarice the Great. Most of the culture of Arvum has been dictated by the dominance of Grayson mores throughout the centuries, and Arx has been treated more as a possession than an equal ground between the houses. For House Grayson, few see any reason this state of affairs should change.

Bastion
Description: The ancestral home of House Grayson is not nearly as forbidding as the name suggests, but the great fortress has acted as a summer palace for the kings and queens of the Grayson dynasty for generations. Many of the Grayson kin less close to the line of succession reside within its great walls, but with the wealth and splendor of Bastion few are likely to complain about being kept far from court at Arx. On occasion, the King or Queen of the Compact will decide to pass their secondary title of Prince or Princess of Bastion onto one of their kin, typically the crown prince or princess so they might act as high lord in their stead and gain experience before they ascend to the throne of the entire Compact.
Landmarks: The Great Road
The Bastion Lodge of Petrichor has been built, providing agricultural development and survival training.
