House Meridian

House Meridian of Pride Keep is the ruling house of the Grand Duchy of Westreach. The crest of House Meridian is a gold lion on red. Their ancestral runeblade is Lionheart. The current lord of the house is Grand Duke Wolfram Meridian II.
House Meridian is one of the richest and most powerful houses in Lordamere. They command the largest military in the kingdom, which is supported through gold mining and banking in the city of Lionport. The Meridian name holds connotations of honor, prestige, and military might. The Meridians themselves are famously dutiful, loyal, and militant. Many Meridians rank among Lordamere's greatest commanders and knights. While the Meridian's legacy of prestige and achievement is quite respected, it is a point of contention among the family, where expectations are incredibly high. The Meridians keep with them a pride of lions.
While the grand duke is the leader of House Meridian, the house's operations are run by the table, a council of key family members and associates. The table consists of Gisela Meridian, Leopold Meridian, Bertrand Meridian, Beatrice Meridian, Lionel Meridian, Constantine Meridian, Rander Kell, Octavia Belleck, and Armand Lyoris, 
The Meridians are known for their many feuds with House Vrynn.
