"In Gold and God We Trust."
Rigid and resolute, House Halbrecht believes it alone can redeem the soul of the realm. Their lands are unforgiving — endless hills and barren stone — but within those ridges lie vast veins of precious minerals, the source of their staggering wealth. Their laws are as hard as the land they rule, and their faith in The Narrator, their state religion, is as unshakable as their ambition.
Halbrecht’s capital, Njorm, sits on the north-eastern coast — a bastion of trade and commerce. Their alliance with House Eladwynn gives them deep influence in the royal court, especially in matters of coin. Yet beneath their austere image lies a house obsessed with control — of gold, of faith, and of fate.
As the religion of The Narrator spreads across Midrasil, so does Halbrecht’s power. Some whisper that their true aim is not piety, but dominion.
