History

House Chandus are the lieges of the County of Repton March, a fief composed of the mountains and valleys of the Ergonian region bordering the Vir Sidus Empire in the east. They are known for the antiquity of their bloodline, the beauty and difficult terrain of their fief, their soldiery and devotion to the Duchy of Tarris.

They are one of the smallest Counties in the West, and only have two Greater Lordships as vassals - De Ufford of Aspendon in the north, and Chandus of Leodis, a cadet line of the main house in the south. They also have two Lesser Lordships of Highlanders, formerly Caltu tribesmen - Clendenning in the centre-east, and Strathclyde in the south-east.

House Relations

reine Reine : House Reine shares our blood, our culture, and unity of purpose with us. Some of their methods may be distasteful, sometimes even sinful, but they always acted as strong, just masters to us. Now that we are a county of our own, we will continue to be loyal, devoted friends of them. May the One let our presence be a moderating force in their actions and, we hope, may we convince them to soften some of their methods so that none of their vassals ever have reason for reproach.
