Description
Paradise Awaits the Faithful
From mist-shrouded Eryn across the western sea came House Erynrath — outcasts driven from their beloved shores by hunger and destitution, carrying nothing but their ancient faith and the will to endure. Scorned as a beggar-host, strangers in a strange land, they were bound by prayer, poverty, and disdain alike. Yet through grim toil, smiling fate and sheer bloody-minded resolve they did more than endure — they flourished.
And from that humble root rose Syr Erynrath, the Green Knight: pious yet fiery, charitable yet fearsome, gentle in peace yet vengeful in war — hailed as both shepherd and sword to his people. Where the native houses splintered and feuded, his kith stood united, and thus all but one came to bend the knee before his ascendence.
Yet Erynrath was no hooded falcon content with humble quarry; his vision reached beyond Caledon’s glens. With his now-mighty host he crossed the Ermel Sea, and beneath a southern sun he laid low every lord bold enough to answer his challenge.
Though victory became his constant companion, Erynrath’s heart still beat for the roar of battle; for in triumph he found not vanity but purpose — that his kinfolk should never again be the beggar-host, but bearers of glory unending.
