House Ostricia

Pre-history
Ostricia House is one of the major houses of Einsiedeln. It was originally a small nation known as the Tsardømmet I Nord (meaning Tsardom of the North.) Then, in 183pre it signed a treaty to join the nation of Einsiedeln. From there, the Ostrician territory snowballed out of control resulting in economic prosperity in the region. This put the house in a great position to declare leadership over the people of Einsiedeln, where it would then lead for the next century. Over time, faith in the corrupt leaders of the empire decreased, and new beliefs started emerging. Stability was at an all time low when the nation of Osterion invaded one of Einsiedeln's northern territories. One day the citizens of the great empire rebelled, sending Ostricia into a downward spiral.

The Council of Ostrician Lords
While Ostricia was in power, they established the Council of Ostrician Lords. There job was to appoint the people that would manage sectors of the nation, and vote on legislation. Now in present day it is more symbolic, since the government court was disbanded many years ago. Titles however still can be given out by those in the court, although they do not carry any government weight for decision making any more. Titles go as follows:


 * King (Leader of the nation, not directly involved in decision making)
 * Tsar (Title of the court manager. The court votes on law, so think of this title as the king's leading decision maker. The name of the title is symbolic of Ostricia's past.)
 * Archlord (A senior title for notable lords that have served the empire well. It can still symbolically be given out by the head of house Ostricia)
 * Lord Ppeople worthy of being a key member of decision making in the empire. It can still symbolically be given out by the head of house Ostricia)
