"The history of our house has been lost in the mists of time, of legend and in the enchantment, but we know this. We remember Albion from the time of Arthur, of the knights, the quests and the beasts. We remember the betrayal and the move to the new seat. We remember the dark times that came and Camlann.

It was in the mists that shrouded that bloodied battle that we became lost. It was in Avalon that we struggled and strived and that families came to us for our protection, sweaing vassalage as they did. And it was in Avalon that when the Nosta Ka came we joined with the Lions, then masters of the land, to protect those we were charged to. However Avalon was lost us in that war, but not before we had rediscovered Albion.

So when the Lions left Avalon and went to Lantia we did not stay with them. Our roots are buried elsewhere, in Albion and it's mists. Here is where our histories are, our glories and our dreams. We are sworn to the land, an ancient faeire house bound to land and throne, loyal still after all these years, sworn to serve for time immortal."
