Riffenblid

House Riffenblid

The ruling dynasty, officially founded by one of Kaiser Daedric's ancestors, Undrik, they are an off-branch of the von Riffenren noble family, formed only years before the collapse of the von Riffenren's and the formation of the Rifftensburger Religious Council. They are a brutal, yet strong house, practicing a tradition which involves taking away sons at age 5 to a harsh, brutal and unforgiving training to strengthen their bodies for the Trials, in which they will prove their strength or die trying. When the trials are over, a last death battle takes place in a top secret location where the surviving son is proclaimed heir to the throne. Though the practice of fratricide is an immoral thing to do, nevertheless, it ensures that no weak men will rule Rifftensburg, but the same cannot be said for their sanity, if their brothers do not save them from madness. Among the lighter traditions is owning Royal Blood Eagles, who are the strongest breed of Blood Eagles in Rifftensburg. These pets are fiercely loyal to their masters and even commit suicide when their owner dies, ensuring their loyalty. In the current age, Kaiser Synthies and his wife Erynna continue the legacy.
