House Ginemiéres (Gee-neh-mee-AIR)
House Ginemiéres, often referred to by its many illustrious titles—House of the Pegasus, House of the Saint, House of the White Pegasus, House of the Angel, House of the Monk, House of Purple, and the Holy House—stands as a beacon of virtue and faith within the grand tapestry of Outremer’s history. This house is revered not only for its legendary founders but also for the profound impact they had on the very essence of the empire.
The genesis of House Ginemiéres is rooted in the aftermath of the catastrophic War of Greed, a conflict that epitomized the darkest depths of human avarice and betrayal. In this grim period, the empire was torn apart by civil strife, with nobles consumed by their lust for power, forsaking the principles that had once united the realm under the banner of faith and chivalry. It was amid this chaos that two extraordinary figures emerged: Saint Louis the Pious and Elesis the Saint. Chosen by Solomon - God of Life himself, these two champions embodied purity and righteousness, their deeds echoing through the ages as testaments to divine will and grace.
Louis and Elesis were not merely warriors; they were paragons of virtue, their lives unmarred by sin, and their actions a reflection of omnipotence and divine favor. They traversed the war-torn lands of Outremer, their path illuminated by a shared purpose: to protect the innocent, to safeguard the realm, and to restore faith in a world that had all but forgotten the tenets of honor and sacrifice. They became symbols of hope, embodying the very ideals of the Solomonid faith that had guided the hearts of knights for generations.
In a remarkable feat, they managed to bring the brutal War of Greed to a close without spilling the blood of a single Outremer citizen. Instead of seeking revenge or retribution, they sought understanding and reconciliation, reminding those caught in the grip of greed of their shared humanity. Elesis, demonstrating her extraordinary leadership, called for the Sixth Crusade, an unprecedented action for one who was not a cardinal, thereby solidifying her position as a divine champion among the faithful.
Through Elesis’s prophetic vision, the pair’s efforts culminated in the saving of the World Tree Leviair, which had fallen into the hands of the Broken Wills. With this act, not only did they liberate the sacred tree, but they also prompted the resurgence of the Sacred Pools across the lands of Oros. This divine phenomenon marked the beginning of a new era of sainthood, birthing hundreds of saints who would rise to serve the faith. Under the auspices of Louis and Elesis, Outremer entered a golden age of piety and prosperity, where the principles of Solomonid were revered and upheld.
As time passed, Louis and Elesis would not only found House Ginemiéres but also become its revered symbols. Their lineage, imbued with the sanctity of their deeds, established a legacy that would endure through generations. Their children became stewards of the faith, embodying the virtues taught by their sainted parents, ensuring that the essence of House Ginemiéres remained intertwined with the spiritual fabric of Outremer.
In present times, House Ginemiéres is led by Cardinal Gaucelin Ginemiéres, a man whose own life story reflects the virtues of his illustrious forebears. Rising through the ranks of the knights, Gaucelin's military prowess earned him the title of Maréchal, making him responsible for all military affairs in Outremer. Under his command, the armies of Outremer were not merely instruments of war but embodiments of the faith, fighting with honor and purpose, defending the realm against any threats that dared to challenge its sanctity.
Gaucelin's reputation extends far beyond his military achievements; he is revered as a saint warrior. His ascension to the clergy, transitioning from knight to monk, exemplifies his dedication to the faith. He ascended through the ranks of the clergy with the same unwavering resolve that characterized his military career, ultimately becoming the head of all faithful Solomites as Cardinal. His dual role as spiritual guide has solidified House Ginemiéres' position as a pillar of strength and virtue in Outremer.
While House de Normandie may hold the throne, the influence and power of House Ginemiéres are profound. The Ginemiéres possess vast lands, with their estates bordering the Ashina River, a vital waterway that facilitates trade and sustains the economy of Outremer. Their control over the port cities grants them dominion over maritime activity, further bolstering their wealth and influence. This strategic positioning has made them invaluable to the stability and prosperity of the empire.
Even the cunning Grandmaster Langris de Normandie, a formidable strategist in his own right, does not underestimate Gaucelin or the power of House Ginemiéres. The connection between the two houses runs deep, as Gaucelin is also Langris's great uncle, intertwining their fates within the political landscape of Outremer. This familial bond is a source of both strength and complexity, with House Ginemiéres serving as a moral compass amid the shifting tides of power.
In every aspect, House Ginemiéres embodies the ideals of righteousness, humility, and devotion. They are not merely a family of noble lineage; they are the custodians of a legacy that has transformed the destiny of Outremer. With their unwavering commitment to the principles of Solomonid, their divine lineage, and their powerful leadership, House Ginemiéres remains a guiding light in a world fraught with challenges. Their history is not merely a tale of power but a testament to the enduring spirit of virtue and the sacred duty to protect and uplift the realm, ensuring that the holy fire of their ancestors continues to burn brightly in the hearts of all who follow in their footsteps.
The current seat of power for the house is the city of St. Louen. The family controls the entire south of Outremer, with the major cities of St. Jean, Nontron, Saintes, Coroun, St. Guy, Louisville, La Rochelle, and Tureme under their control.
