The House of Striga
Katarina of the House Striga
The Striga are apparently a young noble family that first presented themselves to the peerage on the Dragon Isles of D'Hara, Dwilight.
Members of the House are notable for their exceedingly pale skin and nearly ethereal features. They are far from being a friendly family: the gaze of a Striga Scion is often cold and hard. They will however entreat allies with the necessary decorum as demanded by their noble station. The Striga are a secretive and taciturn House, not prone to socialising with peers on a regular basis.
Their strange behaviour and striking physical characteristics have given rise to whispers that perhaps the Striga are not all they seem. If they are aware of these rumours then the Striga care little of them for they have never addressed the issue.
In battle, the Striga don intimidating gothic full plate coloured the blackest of jet. The intricately embellished set of armour will often be paired with a thick cloak of rich crimson. A sallet is usually the helm of choice for its excellent protective coverage of the face and head. Most Striga Scions are familiar with the tactically flexible hand-and-a-half bastard sword. Alternatively, more belligerent individuals may choose to wield the impressive doppelhänder great sword.
By contrast, the smallfolk soldiery that bear House Striga's colours are often poorly equipped. The Striga provide their levies with helms and crude shields, but weaponry must be sourced by the soldiers themselves. Polearms such as spears or bills are the norm, with very few managing to afford a decent blade. They are led into battle and kept in line under the watchful eye of their noble Scion or a favoured Captain.
The arm of House Striga are Per pale sable and sanguine, a bat displayed counterchanged.
