Milwood of the Eastern Ward

History
The founder of house Milwood would be Brechtwald. Dubbed "Brechtwald the Brave"; he participated in the War of Three Archdukes and survived the ordeal. During the Battle of Ferdinburg, Brechtwald had been part of the Vanguard and broke into the walled settlement and began to butcher Dale soldiers.

He had met the legendary tactician and combatant Qwenton Farkasson, who was said to be undefeated in combat, but he was slain. With two proper swings of his mighty flameberge he brought the legend to the ground. Shortly after Qwenton's death victory was seized.

After the war, many soldiers spoke of Brechtwald's relentless pursuit of Qwenton. They spoke of Brechtwald defeating Qwenton in the bell-tower of Ferdinburg. The patriarch of House Durrandon then summoned Brechtwald to reward him for his stalwart behavior. He was given the old keep built by Stephen Durrandon's personal architect: Harkynhal. The Keep itself was named after the builder to honor him.

Brechtwald thus begun to decide what he would do with his titles and pioneered the Ram's Honorguard. He would use Harkynhal as a training ground for his recruits. Brechtwald was a Caesian, and most, if not all, of the volunteers were human. He remained stubborn on keeping this order high profile and did not bend to sate the minority.

The popularity of the Honorguard grew sporadically. Most of the Honorguard worked as the police of Horn Hall whilst the Durrandinian military focused on the north. With the love of the Honorguard and good word spreading like the plague, Gregor Durrandon, current Archduke of House Durrandon, invited Brechtwald and offered to use the Honorguard in special operations. Upon Brechtwald agreeing, the Honorguard was created.

Brechtwald's teachings were that of Duty over Self-need. The oath of becoming an Honorguard require this before truly being accepted as one of the Ram's personal guardsmen.

Overtime Brechtwald begun to bore children. The bloodline, at first, held Caesian features. But as the line extended, the human traits overcame Brechtwald's Caesian genes. By Brechtwald the III, or, Brechtwald the Nimble, the family line became completely human. The bloodline, though considered nobility, act as equals to the public and to commoners. Which is the reason why a majority of Horn Hall's population respects the Honorguard and house Milwood itself.
