Despite dating back centuries the House of Octavius has only just become large enough to be noticed.

The ancestral home is located in the Ash Sea Islnads where they have been minor country gentry for centuries. For time immemorial the Octavian family has been defended by the Green Guard regiments, recruited from the local villagers who have lived under the local rule of the Octavians for centuries.


The Church of the Allfather

A minor religion too small to be noticed by those in power, it has had followers in the remoter regions of the ASI for centuries. Though foreign religions come and go its followers blend in with the background and outwardly display deveotion to the official religion of the day whilst keeping thetrue faith on the inside. All the Octavians beleive in the Allfather and the family chapel provides a place for local villagers to worship as well as providing a place for the occasional wandering priest to lay his or her head. Whilst the Octavians are aware of the new faith sweeping the land they remain aloof from it and hope thereby to survive the storm when Magna Serpaentism is inevitably replaced by another faith.
