Grey Family
Family History
The Grey Family originates from Azohib, a region of Soliferum on the Far East Continent. The family consists of Brandon(M), Megan(F), Theon(M), Benjen(M), Tyrion(M), Loronzo(M), Balon(M),Joffrey(M), and Lari(F). Sadly, Theon, Balon and Lari are no longer living.
Brandon and Megan are the parents and rule over the Grey holdings in Azohib. Theon and Benjen are twins who decided to stay north and pursue their careers in the Realms of Lasanar and Ethiala, respectively, where the Greys have lived in self-imposed exile for the last few generations. Tyrion is Brandon's bastard, by way of a whore in some town. She died in childbirth, and no one but Brandon knows her name. Tyrion was accepted into the family and given the Grey name, although Megan raised hell against it. Balon is the younger brother of Brandon and he had a son with his wife Lari named Loronzo. Joffrey is the bastard son of Balon by a whore in Nighthelm. A few other people of importance to the Grey family are Harrison, the manor lord over the Fowl Family's estate which the Grey's are stewarding for now. As well as Rorren, the Grey Captain of the Guard.
Extended History
The Grey line traces its ancestry back through seven generations to the House of Fralon. The Lord Fralon seven generations ago had three sons, and each wanted an inheritance. So, his lands were divided amongst them, and two adopted new surnames and sigils. One took the name Fowl and the sword-bearing hawk as his sigil, and another took the name Grey and his sigil was a black dagger on a grey flag. The oldest son was allowed to maintain the name Fralon and the time honored wild man sigil.
The brother who kept the name Fralon bore only one son in his many years, and this son loved the company of men moreso than that of women. The fates sealed the seed of the Fralon line with this heirless lord. After the Fralon line ended, the estate was left to ruin, as the final Fralon had gambled away all of the precious heirlooms and all that remained was an empty manor house with a few towers in ill repair to protect it.
The Grey line moved away after the fall of the line of Fralon, and entrusted their estate to the capable hands of the Fowls. For four generations, the Fowls have watched over both their estate in Osaliel as well as the Grey estate in Azohib. Now, with all of the Fowl line missing, the Grey's have reemerged and are reclaiming their halls and maintaining those of the Fowls.
Uniform
The Grey Family dress uniform, worn on all formal occasions including any full family dinner, consists of starched grey pants, with a midnight black stripe; boots that are shined to a mirror finish; a black shirt pressed flat; and an overcoat that is a darker shade of grey than the pants. Upon the left breast of the overcoat rests the family crest, a black dagger on a light grey banner. To top off the uniform is a black beret worn over the right ear.
Weapons
The Grey Family standard weapons set is a long pike and a large round shield. Upon the shield is the family crest of the black dagger, other than this, the whole shield is a cloudy grey.
All soldiers taking up service with the Grey's are provided with the equipment, and are expected to maintain it in good condition.
