House Oswald

Summary

House Oswald is a nomadic religious group that arrives at the King’s Tourney each year to claim legitimacy to the Crownlands throne. They have never been formally deeded land by King Aldrich and are considered an illegitimate house by the established nobility. They are generally regarded as a joke among the noble houses and are typically humiliated at the tournament before departing. Source: 2026.06.11.

Notes

• Identified by green, gold, and purple robes; priests, nuns, floats, banners, and trumpets accompany their arrival parade.
• Common folk show genuine interest in their procession; established nobles are dismissive.
• Aldrich recalled their history with an investigation roll of 12: never deeded land, claims throne legitimacy, comes every year, typically humiliated.
• Cassian confirmed from noble knowledge: they are considered a standing joke among legitimate houses.
• Their religious nature and nomadic lifestyle suggest a distinct theological or prophetic basis for their throne claim, though details are not yet established.

Relationships

• King’s Tourney: Attend annually to press their claim; never win.
• Aldrich: Has passing historical knowledge of the group.
