House Astolfo
"Imma wing it"
History
Astolfo is another of the more curious of the eight companions, he a strange fondness for the sky ever since he was a boy and long before he met the Highlander King he had already tamed a young Hippogriff and made it his mount and friend. When the Highlander King taught him magic and he took up arms with his kin and followers, he created his own cavalry of the air that rode upon the backs of Hippogriffs, Griffins, Pegasi, supposedly even tamed a Roc. He, like Setanta, was very adept at Green Magic and cared a great deal for his fliers.
According to more heretical histories, Astolfo was a Dragonborn obsessed with flying in order to be like the Dragons of the Pale whose magic twisted his ancestors into what he is today. Regardless, his House and its emblem is a golden eagle in flight with a black arrow in its beak against a sky blue background. His kin, Knightly Orders, and Knights used an eagle in their heraldries to match as well.
When the Great Rebellion came, before the first battle was held, the Warforged army of the New Bloods and the Holy Order of the Light struck House Astolfo first under the cover of night. For they knew if House Astolfo scrambled its forces to aid the other Houses in the field of battle then the Great Rebellion would've failed before it truly began. Since then there has not been a man or woman alive who could tame such flying beasts since, supposedly.
