## History

### Robert Maddox's Rebellion

During Robert Maddox's Rebellion, House Karras followed their liege lord, House Reyne, in loyalty to House Beaufort. House Karras played a minor role in the war by primarily reinforcing Lazar Murad's army as he launched his invasion of The Dunes alongside House Reyne.

### Beaufort Civil War

House Karras was a large asset to The Coalition during the Beaufort Civil War. Lord Agis Karras pledged his forces to House Reyne in their invasion of the Reach and was instrumental in the assault on the stronghold of Old Stone. Proven to be a dependable and battle commander, Lord Agis was given Old Stone to ensure the cooperation and capitulation of any remaining belligerents of The Alliance in the southern region of the Reach. After House Osorio regained control of the Reach, Lord Agis and his brother Xander, fled to Whitehill where they remained until they were forced to surrender by the end of the war.

### War of the Heirs

House Karras followed their liege lord, House Reyne, in support of Jacques Beaufort. Additionally, Lord Elias Karras held a seat on The Small Council as Jacques's Master of Ships. Consequently, Lord Elias remained in The Palace of the Kings for much of the war as he advised the King on manners related to the navy. Lord Elias left the Palace and joined Lord Roland Reyne in the Siege of Serpent's Keep and later on in the Battle of the Alpines where Lord Elias fell in battle. After Elias's death, House Karras's remaining forces followed Lord Roland until the war ended.

### Conquest of the Sunset Isles

House Karras played a major role in the Conquest of the Sunset Isles as Kinross was the first major target of House Sol in the Coastlands as Kinross is home to a powerful seaport that could pose a naval threat to King Taito Rovos's forces. When Kinross fell to Queen Samaria Rovos and House Sol, Lord Eryx Karras was imprisoned in the dungeons of Kinross where he remained until he was liberated by House Reyne and House Murad sometime later. While imprisoned Eryx's mental state started to decay and he retained heavy physical and mental scarring by the time he was freed. Despite his trauma, Lord Eryx still accompanied King Emeric Beaufort in the effort to bring the Sunset Isles under Beaufort rule. Eryx participated in both the Siege of Rainmont as well as the final attack on Hasbrook, gaining a certain amount of revenge when his forces killed Aleki Sol and the remnants of House Sol's army. When the war ended, Lord Eryx remained with Princess Celene Beaufort in the Sunset Isles to ensure her rule was unopposed.
