History:
House Autaine rose to prominence during the reign of King Torvian-Noyanich II, a time when the kingdom was still consolidating its power. The Autaines family, then mere landholders, gained their noble title through the valor and leadership of Sir Larsian Autaine, a formidable knight who distinguished himself in the Battle of the Gabrionst. In that battle, Sir Larisan led a crucial charge that turned the tide in favor of the king's forces, breaking the enemy lines and securing a decisive victory. For his service, King Torvian granted him vast lands in the northern regions of the kingdom, along with the title of Lord Protector of the North.
Reputation:
House Autaine is known for their unyielding dedication to the defense of the realm, particularly its northern borders. They have long been the guardians of the kingdom against threats from the wildlands beyond, and their fortresses, built atop steep cliffs and surrounded by dense forests, have withstood countless sieges over the centuries.
The Autaine are also renowned for their skilled cavalry, often referred to as the Iron Claussiand. Clad in heavy armor and mounted on powerful steeds bred in the harsh northern climates, these knights are some of the finest in Mlociniakik. They are often called upon in times of war to lead the Trinadiad, their reputation for fearless charges and disciplined formations striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Roles and Duties:
As the Lords of the North, House Autaine serves as the kingdom’s shield against the barbarian tribes and other dangers that lurk beyond the borders in the north. They maintain a network of fortresses and watchtowers along the northern frontier, ensuring that no threat goes unnoticed. In addition to their military duties, the Autaine are also responsible for overseeing the administration of the northern territories, managing the land and its people with a firm but just hand.
Their loyalty to the crown is unwavering, and they have often played key roles in quelling rebellions and uprisings within the kingdom. Despite their stern reputation, the Autaines are also known for their strong sense of duty and justice, often mediating disputes among lesser nobles and acting as a stabilizing force in times of unrest.
In recent years, the current head of the house, Lord Judith-Wolcoscht Autaine, has continued to uphold the traditions of his ancestors, leading his people with the same strength and integrity that has defined his family for generations. With the kingdom facing new challenges and threats, House Autaine remains ever vigilant, ready to serve and protect the realm as they have always done.
