House Chu

House Chu
The House of Chu exists only for the Toads. They are a small noble house that manages the Toad Slums of Bogart under the River’Reach. Former vassals of House Fenrir, they have since become a rising house with the coronation of Argon Archian.

Founding
The House of Chu established itself under the feat of the First of Chu.

Using wit, the Chu Toad concealed the last remaining Koken Toad Mast, woven with threads of cyan metal and gold from the lineage of Fenrir. This feat caused the demoralized, and now displaced Rivertoads to be rallied under the Banner of Chu in hopes to survive the foreign territories of the Marshlands.

Once formally vassalized, the River Toads were integrated and registered by River’Reach Scholars under leadership of House of Chu led by Slumin Chu.

Lineage of Chu
Koken Toad Naming Conventions place the Surname before the Given Name.

The First of Chu upon establishing the Toad Slums of Bogart was bestowed by the Salt Rock Throne the title of “Slumin” or Slum Lord of Bogart. The First of Chu, fully realizing that the Toad would forever remain in the swamps. would go on to strike their given name off from any official records. Anointing themselves the name: Slumin Chu.

Having taken the name Slumin Chu, the First of Chu declared to the Koken Toads:

"While the Swamps remain. There exists only Slumin Chu!"

From then on, the lineage of Chu adopted a tradition in which the House Heir would never receive a Given Name. Merely inheriting the name: Slumin Chu. Only in death would the successor record a name befitting the actions of the previous Slumin Chu within Secret Records of Chu.
