House Amberbrook

House Amberbrook of Kingshead is one of the eight Great Noble Houses of Odesha. It is also the current royal house, and has been for the past 300 years. Their seat is Kingshead, and their heraldry contains a violet dragon on a gold background with gold spikes coming out of it on a violet background. The house is led by King Evin Amberbrook.

Before taking the throne, Amberbrook was a small house swearing fealty to House Krone, the ruling house at the time. However, they were able to lead a rebellion with all the other small houses in addition to House Remnall and House Bransdott, taking the throne for themselves.

Background
House Amberbrook was founded about 600 years ago by Hekko Amberbrook, a royal army general. He was awarded the house as a retirement gift for his great service in the army. The house swore fealty to House Krone, the royal house which Hekko worked for. House Amberbrook was a loyal minor house to House Krone for 200 years, until the Odeshan Civil War 300 years prior to the beginning of the series.

In the war, Maki Amberbrook, the Baron of House Amberbrook planned a revolution to overrun the corrupt Krone monarchy at the hands of King Lester Krone. House Amberbrook recruited hundreds of minor houses in Kingshead to fight in the revolution, in addition to the Great Noble Houses of House Remnall and House Bransdott who were frustrated with House Krone's rule.

After three years of war, House Krone was defeated and King Lester was executed along with the other members of House Krone. Maki was nominated as the new King of Odesha, and became the first royal member of House Amberbrook. They have led Odesha ever since.
