Emberbrand Converts

"Forged through flame and iron, our house burns strong."

The members of this House are integrated through a ceremony known as the Glowing Pilgrimage. Once they've been deemed worthy, each member walks away brandishing the Emberbrand, a mysterious mark with supposedly ancient context.

The Emberbrand Converts are one of the smallest existing houses in Sanctus. Numbering at less than 300 members, they are a small but potent force.

In the power of the flame, the converts trust. They believe that its cleansing light, wielded by them, will shatter through the fog. They seek to break from this curse by blazing tribute. Highly trained in martial combat, these driven warriors have found themselves often on the side of the Lions in times passed. Respect is shared between the two, as the first Lion is said to have fought beside the ancient Lightbearers.

House Size: 280

Tenets: Strength, Perseverance, Growth

Leader

Arbiter Infernus:  The absolute head of the Emberbrand Converts, the only member able to withstand the searing pain and dangerous heat of the Ardent Throne. Every Arbiter Infernus has carries the same traits no matter who it has been. Their skin burns like an ashy coal and their head is wreathed with a triangular halo of flame.

Season of Strife
Each lost soul is another in the clutches of the Fog. The Converts want this war done away with, as they refuse to let the Fog overtake them. The house, an ally of the Lions, seem wanting to intervene to stop the slaughter. The converts aren’t the information gathering type, which makes intervention in the conflict between two powerhouses who excel at getting secrets  rather difficult.

''“No, no, NO! Fools!” Comes a growling, raspy voice after hearing the news. War once again.''

''“The knaves only seek to bolster the Fog with more hollows. The blind heretics.”''
