House DuPre
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/rf_sanguinius/Heraldry/shielddupre.png
The House DuPre was a great supporter of Giblot and its beliefs, yet has since been banished from its homelands. A family who prides itself on its combat abilities and its love for their patron goddess Lillith. The family in its past were part of an ancient cult named after the founder Tierl DuPre. The Cult of Tierl used the goddess of Life and Death as a reason for their actions of butchery, in search for immortality.
With the insurgence of foreign nobility into Giblot lands the members who followed Tierl went underground. Hiding their practices from the public eye in hope on not being detected, while others would openly support the government.
Yet in recent years the factions with House DuPre were coming into conflict and an heir would have to be found to propel the family into the future. Two brothers were chosen, Dante and Dalvanius. Dante had decided to stay with the family, and continue to follow the cult in secret. While the more foolish younger brother left for other lands, to attain fame and fortune for the family. In other lands another offshoot of the DuPre thrived yet under different names. House Takiyama as they were now known left Giblot lands in search of peace. Believing that their barbaric actions were uncalled for. And that these ritualistic sacrifices to a goddess of both life and death were not warranted.
