House de Honse

House de Honse is a noble family of Litan origin, active in the Baykonian Commonwealth. It is the current ruling family of the Prince-Barony of Ilderburg, the Domnate of the Ilders and the County of Milland, as well as claimants to the Duchy of Edgarten and the Litan throne.

Origins
The Honsiate house originates from Edgarten, Litany. There, the Head Grrom of the Duke of Edgarten, Sylvester Honser, served under Duke Edgar II of Edgarten. According to a folk tale, Sylvester was with the Duke when the Duke hunted rabbits in the forests with his courtiers, when a bear rushed towards the Duke. Sylvester threw himself on the bear and killed it with his dagger. For this, Sylvester would be ennobled by Duke Edgar II and be granted an abandoned castle in the forest where he saved the Duke.

Honsiates in Litany
The Honsiate house was a small obscure noble family in Litany. After siding with the victorious Konsoisist faction during the Litan Civil War, the castle in which the Honsiates lived in, Honsekastre, was granted one seat in the Chamber of Deputies of Litany, to which the Honsiate house decided to grant the second-born sons of the heads of the House until the fall of Litany. Due to this, nearly all Honsiate deputies were Secundarists.

Following the fall of Edgarten to Barbarian hordes, Seved Driets de Honse, the second-born son of Sylvester Zwintersbruieck de Honse, fled Litany and would look for a new home. After two years, Seved arrived to a bay in northeastern Baykonia (today Kastollia), where he would build a cottage called 'Birkenport' (today Azuirs). Soon after, de Honse would declare fealthy to the King of Baykonia, making him a Human in a Kingdom of pigs. Birkenport would eventually grow into a prosperous town, at times rivalling the capital of Baykonia, Salameberg. Due to this, the Honsiate house would enter relevance in Baykonia, with de Honse taking an active role in shaping Baykonian Democracy, including the founding of the Tulipanist Party and Tulipanism, an ideology based on Secundarism. Seved would be the victim of an assasination attempt a few years after founding Birkenport, causing him to fall into a year long coma. By the time he woke up, Birkenport had already been abandoned and was decaying. This led to de Honse deciding to sail home to Litany to start a rebellion.
