House Pisse is a noble house of Simulami located in the colonial region of Stormgova, which has existed in some form or another since before Stormgova's annexation into Simulami. It has historically been one of the weaker houses on the island, however members such as Fyrretree & Gerald III became become more significant in local society during their lifetimes. House Pisse was founded in the town of Pissevirke (Now Inkörsport City) at an unknown date and it remains the center of the house's power. House Pisse was a vassal to House Ludwig and later House Hrafn before they became the ruling family of all of Simulami, and there remain ties of blood between the two Stormgovan houses.

House Pisse is is known for the high quality cheese produced and distributed from its lands, with much of the House's grazing land being devoted to milk producing goats and cows. The family's main source of income comes from the influx of trade that passes between the Brauguard and Vetr seas, linking up vast swathes of land.

## History

### The Era of Reconstruction

The Pisse family was once much more numerous, making up much of Pissevirke's (now Inkörsport City's) population, but an unknown event, theorized to be a bandit raid or some other hostile force attacking, caused a great fire in the city and resulted in the reduction of Pissevirke (now Inkörsport City) into naught but charred ruins, with the only survivors having fled the town prior to whatever events took place. However, after the deaths of the rest of the family, Fyrretree took it upon himself to rebuild the town and turn it into an idealized and improved version of its former state, a trade hub as well as a powerful fortified town.

### The Era of Inkörsport

Many years after the redevelopment of the House and it's hometown of Pissevirke (now Inkörsport City) the Baron of Pissevirke and head of The House Pisse fled into the nearby forests and became a hermit leaving his 3 sons to inherrit the house and its town. However after only a week passed the abdication of Gerald Pisse III, Josipher and Oauy Pisse both died at sea while returning from negotiating trade contracts in Isenridge, in the South of Fedhrekaan. This left the son of Fyrretree Pisse; Atas Pisse and son of Gerald III; Otar II, to take on the Barony of Pissevirke and the House Pisse. During the Ornn - Birgir Hrafn Noble war, the towns of Pissevirke, Scardin, and Hasan combined to create the city of Inkörsport.

### The Ornn - Birgir Hrafn War

Soon after the fomation of the City of Inkörsport, two significant members of the House Hrafn begun a war between themselves. This forced many members of the House like Atlas to choose a side. Many leaned towards Birgir due to his ambition to unite the north of Stormgova. However, members like Atlas were leaning towards Ornn's side due to his ambitions for peace in the County. This brutal conflict saw the senior branch of House Pisse completely wiped out. No clear successors to the Barony remained, at the same time, lesser Pisse relatives multiplied, becoming more numerous than trees in the forest..

### Notable Figures

A wandering trader in his youth, he had a fraught relationship with his brother Fyrretree, specifically over the raising of their younger brother Mirjam, and of the religious divide between Soleviel and Guardianism. Late in his life, he renounced his titles, taking a vow of poverty, and fleeing into the wilderness of Stormgova. Little was heard from him for many years until finally his body was uncovered, protectively curled around 4 mysterious books.

**Otar Pisse II** - Son of Gerald III, Otar was a key figure in the Golden Age of House Pisse. Otar was known for his excellent administration skills, lending valuable aid to his father in both the running of the Barony as well as the Pissevirke Trading Company.

Josipher Pisse was an important figure in the Pissevirke Trading Company and was leader of the barony's forces in wartime.

Immediately forsaking his family when he came of age, Geraldinho went out on his own, making a name for himself by dominating popular sports all throughout Simulami, including but not limited to Ordakor and Jousting. When he wasn't participating in athletic activities, his favorite pastimes included drinking and spending time with *company* in major port cities, leading to the births of many many many many people with a striking resemblance to the ruling family of Inkorsport. He met his only true love when he reached the peak of his athletic abilities, that love being the sport of Hockey. He was a founding member of the celebrated and historic club, the Stormgova Salmons, alongside other notable player such as Redstoneguy and UpsidedownElf. He is currently still alive but has no interest in pressing any sort of claim to the house titles.

## The Pisse Domain

### Inkörsport City (Former Pissevirke & Scardin):

Inkörsport City is an island city situated in the north of Stormgova. It formed from the merger of the North Stormgovan villages of Pissevirke, Scardin, and Hasan as well as the tower-fortress of Inkörsport, which lends the city its name. It is a strategic point on the border between the vassal nation of Fedhrekaan and the Eldham Colonies of The Simulami Empire and controls a key trade chokepoint between the Brauguard and Vetr Seas. It has an island fort called “The Pissevirke” that was placed on the border that has been used for generations as the headquarters for House Pisse. The population of the once-great city was decimated by the Birgir wars, with no clear leaders, violent gangs roaming the streets and sewers, and piracy eliminating the lifeblood of the city, trade, it is a pale shadow of its former glory.

### Fort Otar:

The once great bastion of the Pisse House, it was constructed by Otar II in the far southern tip of Stormgova to protect the house’s trade interests passing through the region. With the collapse of the House it has since fallen into neglect and disrepair, ironically being used as a base for pirates, the exact opposite of its original intent.

## The Knights of Pisse

The Knights of Pisse acts as the Main Banderium for the house and as the house's key enforces. They are made up of civilians that live in the House's territories and that wish to further prove their loyalty to their local noble or the house as a whole.The knights of Pisse also opperate the border fort between Inkörsport City and Mushroomica. The Knights of Pisse are split into 2 sections;

* **Soldiers of Pisse** - These Members are residents of Pisse territories that have only been in for less than 1.5 weeks. They are less skilled but still want to serve under the pisse banner and banderium. The process to become a Pisse soldier is not as difficult as the process to become a knight but it still comes with it's challenges. Soldiers will serve in 5s under a knight directly or under a noble, depending on the circumstance.

* **Knights of Pisse** - These Members have been members of the House and residents in its territories for longer and have proven their loyalty to their local noble or the respect from the Head of House. Once a soldier has served for 2.5 weeks with in the Pisse Banderium they are legibal to become a knight; however the process is grulling and required lots of strength to pass and pledge full loyalty to the house. A knight may control a sector of a city under a Pisse nobles control or control over a fort that is inside Pisse territories.

## Culture and Traditions

### Religion

Pissevirke was the site of an important Stormgovan Guardian holy site as well as a vast underground temple complex, and combined with the relative isolation of the city, the Pisse Family has historically largely practiced the Stormgovan Guardian religion. Fyrretree, however, converted to Soleviel and attempted to convince his family to follow suit. This resulted in an ongoing split both in the Pisse family as well as the Pisse Domains between the two religions.

### Celebrations & Festivals

Due to the house's past being very clouded, House Pisse rarely celebrates any historical celebrations with a few exceptions. One exception to this is the Great Stormgovan rumble which is held every Month by the Royal house of Hrafn. The celebration takes place in a collossium on the outskirts of New Jellhem. It is a 3v3 battle between House Hrafn, Ludwig and Pisse; The three primary noble houses in the County of Stormgova.

### Clothing and Garments

House Pisse has no specific Clothing that it forces upon it's people however traditional clothing records that have been recovered from historical sites within the Pisse Eclave state that black tunics paired with a brown leather belts around the right shoulder were fairly common amongst members of the house during its early years.

## Future Plans and Policies

#### Future Plans:

There is not yet a clear successor to Head of House Pisse, meaning thepolitical strength of the house has been nullified. The survival of the house and recognition of its nobility is unclear, and there may soon be a future in which its members are scattered to the winds, with no lands to call their own.
