House Artipellin

• Sigil: A golden grail crested with rubies on a blue field
• Leader: Nicholla Artipellin the First
• Capitol: Gwennport
• Rough age: Old house
• Strengths: Arts, popular support, magic, sea trade
• Weakness: Less military strength than other Governors
• Export: Art, magic, fish
• Other: Known for being creative and artful. They own most high level theatres and art galleries in the realms. Have taken to "knighting" great artists, tying them to the house (though generally not expected to fight). These "paint knights" are looked down upon by all "real" knights except for Artipellin knights who simply see them as knights of the creative arts rather than the sword. The Artipellin has a close connection with the Sickle, which brings power but also some disrespect from magiphobic houses. As the other Governor houses, they have decently deep pockets, though a lot of their wealth is tied up in art objects or facilities. Their knights are admired by commoners of the realms as the purest (and most handsome) of knights in the realms.
