The Noble Houses of Faerghus refer to the most powerful noble families in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus on the continent of Fódlan. Each noble house is governed by a chosen head, who often inherited a Crest. Not much is known about certain Houses.
List of Noble Houses
House Blaiddyd
This house claims Blaiddyd of the 10 Elites as its ancestor. It has ruled the Kingdom for over 400 years, ever since Loog, the King of Lions, won the War of the Eagle and Lion in 751. This secured the Kingdom's Independence from the Adrestian Empire, after which Loog was crowned its first king by the Church of Seiros.
House Blaiddyd resides in Fhirdiad, the Kingdom Capital, and claims all of the surrounding territory as its domain. As a royal house, it has dominion over the many fiefdoms in northern Fódlan who have sworn their fealty as vassals. With the passing of King Lambert in 1176, his older brother, Grand Duke Rufus of Itha, assumed the burden of ruling the Kingdom in the young crown prince's stead. Yet strife and disorder continue to plague the land.
Members
- Loog von Blaiddyd (Deceased) - Founder and First King of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus after his victory at the end of the War of the Eagle and Lion in 751. Loog is hailed by the people of Faerghus as the "King of Lions" ever since.
- Klaus I (Deceased) - Klaus I reigned as King of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus until his death in Imperial Year 861. His death marked the scission of the Kingdom into three Archdukedoms, notably the Archdukedom of Leicester whom after the death of its archduke in 881, caused the formation of the Leicester Alliance in 901.
- Rufus Blaiddyd - Firstborn son of a previous king of Faerghus, Rufus was passed over as a king due to his lack of Crest, and he was instead appointed as the Grand Duke of Itha, while his younger brother Lambert inherited the crown. After King Lambert, Queen Consort Patricia, and various other Faerghus nobles were killed in the Tragedy of Duscur in Imperial Year 1176, Grand Duke Rufus assumed regency over the Kingdom since Crown Prince Dimitri was too young to succeed to the throne. However the Kingdom declined under his reign, and it is rumored that his negligent governance is due to his womanizing.
- Lambert Egitte Blaiddyd (Deceased) - Born as the second son of a previous king of Faerghus, Lambert passed his elder brother as futur king thanks to his possession of Crest. Shortly after the birth of his son around 1162, a plague swept through Faerghus and claimed the life of Lambert's wife, the queen consort. During the Insurrection of the Seven in 1171, Lambert took Patricia von Arundel's hand in marriage and welcomed her and her daughter Edelgard into the royal household. In 1176, King Lambert was assassinated during the Tragedy of Duscur. With Crown Prince Dimitri too young to ascend to the throne, Lambert's elder brother, Grand Duke Rufus of Itha, assumed regency over the Kingdom.
- Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd - The only son of King Lambert and Crown Prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Dimitri is the sole survivor of the Tragedy of Duscur, which took the life of both his father and stepmother. Due to his youth, his uncle, Grand Duke Rufus of Itha, rules the Kingdom as regent.
- Patricia von Arundel (Via marriage) - A noblewoman of House Arundel in the Empire, Patricia flee it during the Insurrection of the Seven with her brother Volkhard and her daughter Edelgard, born from her previous union with Emperor Ionius IX.
