House Flint-Locke
"The Black Powder is what made our family, we can't the flow but we can improve it!"
History
The Flint-Lockes, like all New Blood families came from poverty and rose to power. It began with a pair of friends and Artillerist Artificers discovering what they called "Black Powder" and it escalated from there. They began with using their invention for entertainment purposes only but from there they began creating newer and better wands that combined their Black Powder to create new kinds of weapons. Within a century or so, they rose to power and were made honorary nobility by the Old Bloods and House Highlander. Their heraldry became a pair of crossed pistols, one black and the other white, with red background.
Like all the New Bloods, they were never truly respected by the Old Bloods and their nobility was in name only. They combined their research into Black Powder with that of the Artificers of the other New Blood families and created the first Warforged. From there they allied themselves with the newly rebranded Holy Order of the Light and began the Great Rebellion against the Old Blood Houses and toppled House Highlander as king of the Freelands.
Today, House Flint-Locke is a household name for creating the most devastating and dangerous weapons. They arm the greatest of adventurers and mercenaries, and they even outfit the Holy Order of the Light so that their Clerics and what not may wield a Warhammer in one hand and one of their peerless guns in another. Creating a force to be reckoned with to any so called heretic that stands in their way.
