Lochesh

## House Lochesh

### Motto:

În cazul în care nu mă pot mișca cerul voi ridica iad."If I cannot move Heaven, I shall instead raise Hell [to my foes]"

## Family Traits

### Average Height:

Lochesh are notably taller than average, most pushing seven foot tall.

### Pelt:

Like all iscaelin the Lochesh have relatively normal skin, theirs is often toughened by training that starts early; more notably however unlike the stark white of iscaelin on average Lochesh bear blued tones to their skin.

### Eyes:

Their eyes are intense and it is said the Lochesh glare can stop wild animals in their tracks when threatened. Their eyes are usually grey or pale blue, but occasionally greenish tones creep in. They have a sharp, metallic cast and propensity to light or darken visibly with their moods.

### Ears:

Their ears are slightly longer than the average iscaelin, and boast a few 'nodules' the most prominent curling down from the lobe.

### Other:

The lochesh have naturally sharpened teeth, and a distinct set of 'fangs' that has even given risen to the common phrase of dismay "There being no hope if a Lochesh gets their fangs in you"

## At A Glance

### Stamina:

●●●●●●●○○○Trained early and constantly they have decent stamina.

### Constitution:

●●●●●●●●○○ It is extremely rare for them to fall ill or complain of things.

### Strength:

●●●●●●●●○○All Lochesh undergo combat training, and thus tend to be unusually strong along with other War houses.

### Dexterity:

●●●●●○○○○○Combat training makes them above average in dexterity as a rule.

### Magic Affinity:

●●●●●●●○○○It is said if the Lochesh are not warriors they are mages, magic runs strongly through the bloodline; though with no seeming affinity for one form or other.

### Sē Affinity:

●●○○○○○○○○Mindful and thoughtful there is some chance to learn the ability.

### Rēi Affinity:

●●●●○○○○○○Their prowess in warfare lends them distinctly more affinity with this form, should one encounter the same.

### Speed:

●●●●●●○○○○Some say their training is the reason for the unusual speed of the family, but then; even children can be seen zipping about and tending to outpace their peers, so perhaps it is a family trait?

### Perception:

●●●●●●●●○○Lochesh are taught in games to be observant, and this is enhanced with their training to keep them alert on the field. They will tend to notice most things around them.

### Intelligence:

●●●●●●○○○○Not as notable as their strength, but the better half of war is strategy. They are no scholars, but they hold their own; to the surprise of some.

### Charisma:

●●●●●●●○○○Of surprise to many is how persuasive the family can be, usually to avoid conflicts, ironically. A Lochesh can generally get their way and when not they are at the very least courteous.

### Brutality:

●●●●●●●●○○Someone who sees the family in domestic surroundings may be startled to see them in challenges. While most would say Muldama is renowned for their brutality the Lochesh; while not willing to stoop to many tacts of the same, is nothing to laugh at when it comes to finishing a task.

### Passion:

●●●●●●●●○○Passion is the drive of a warrior, and it is said few can hold a candle to the drive and determination of a Lochesh when the spark is ignited.

### Determination:

●●●●●●●●●○Few know the chaos that is war, but this house does. They also know the cost of loosing is not their own, but that of their friends and loved ones. Nothing will pass a determined Lochesh if they are defending such.

### Discipline:

●●●●●●●●●○Few have what it takes to pass the training a Lochesh is expected to undergo daily; much less that which heads of the family put themselves through to stay sharp. Even the other Houses bow to the discipline of Lochesh; with some awe.

House Lochesh is one of the oldest Great Houses. Most of the members have been a part of the gryphoneers for many, many generations and have become known as warriors of merit. Their land was won in battle centuries ago. They have become somewhat reticent in the last decade or so, and are rarely seen. Some say this was because the family as a whole has taken to the study of ancient magics; producing many great warrior-mages and strategists. They are a small, close-knit family headed by a patriarch still carrying the practice of the Gryphoneers.
