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 notably for their strikingly pale skin. They are not known for being an overly 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.

In battle, the Striga don intimidating gothic full plate coloured the blackest of jet. The intricately embellished set of armour will usually 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.
