House Forne

House Forne of Skyline is one of the eight Great Noble Houses of Odesha. Their seat is Skyline, and their heraldry contains a light green griffin on a brown background. The house is led by Aster Forne.

The Fornes rule over the lush region of Dagsgarden. Fornes are often very in-touch with nature, and are loyal allies who'll fight to the death for those they love. Many Fornes are comfortable with farming, and it is Forne tradition to refrain from eating meat. Fornes are also to never have sexual intercourse without the intention of producing an heir.

Background
House Forne was formed about 4,000 years ago by Juniper Forne. Juniper was a farmer who grew "the largest pumpkin in all of Dagsgarden", and was subsequently awarded a minor house by the ruling House Redbark. During the unification of Odesha, House Redbark refused to surrender to House Krone, and were then brutally murdered, rendering the house extinct. Looking to replace House Redbark with a new house to rule Dagsgarden, House Krone turned to House Forne who saw them as easy to manipulate and non-threatening, and they were made into the ruling house of Dagsgarden.

Characteristics
Very light hair is common amongst Fornes, in addition to icy blue eyes. Common hair colors range from white blonde to strawberry blonde. Thick curly hair is seen often as well. Fornes typically have pale skin with an abundance of freckles, while they're often very tall with slim builds. Personality-wise, Fornes are non-intimidating, honest, spiritual, family-oriented, hospitable, and very in-touch with nature. It is Forne tradition to name children after flowers or plants. Also, Fornes must always refrain from eating meat and cannot engage in sexual intercourse without the intention of producing children. Perhaps because of this tradition, Forne families typically have many children.

Relationships
House Forne is not a very popular house due to their indecisiveness and perceived weakness. There's a mutual distrust between House Forne and House Amberbrook, due to House Forne's strong loyalty to the previous royal house House Krone. House Forne was one of House Krone's greatest allies during the Odeshan Civil War. Their likely closest ally besides minor houses would be House Westerwind, as both Boris and Egor Westerwind are married to Fornes. However, because of House Forne's abundance of children, many Fornes can be seen as members of other noble houses.
