House Bryad

House Bryad was the ruling royal family of the kingdom of Awbor from -274 AP to 714 AP. The house is one of the oldest in the land, predating the creation of the kingdom by several centuries. It ruled Awbor for close to a millennia, before the entire house was assassinated by the Lords of Dust.
== History ==
Before the unification of Awbor, House Bryad was just one of the many houses that controlled the settled human lands. The House Keep was located at Zingherra Castle, overlooking a crossing of the Glitterstream River. During the Awbor Founding War (-286 to -276 AP), House Bryad was led by a man simply known as Lord Bryad. One by one, House Bryad beat its rivals into submission with a combination of political manipulation, clever war strategies, and several well-timed assassinations.
In -276 AP, the Awbor Founding War comes to an end with the victory of House Bryad, and the creation of the Kingdom of Awbor. Lord Bryad made Zingherra the capital of the country, and became King Bryad I. In honour of the first king of Awbor, all the subsequent kings of the Bryad Dynasty kept the name Bryad as their only name.
In 714 AP, all members of House Bryad where brutally murdered by the Lords of Dust, who used powerful necromancy to ensure that the members could never be raised again. As such, the rule of House Bryad has finally come to an end.
