A vassal of House Tar’Ragan.
House Callius is a minor noble house situated on the outskirts of Ragan’s Hold and Dyer's Ridge. While their name is often overlooked in the larger political landscape, they carry the weight of an important diplomatic achievement from centuries ago. A distinguished ancestor of House Callius played a pivotal role during a time of turmoil, rallying a small band of his men to deliver crucial missives at great personal cost and secure the alliance between House Tar'ragan and House Woad. This action ensured peace and stability during a time of crisis, resulting in House Callius's elevation to minor nobility.
The crest of House Callius reflects this ancient legacy. The shield is split vertically into black and blue, representing the alliance between House Tar'ragan and House Woad. In the center, a rolled scroll stands upright, symbolizing the role of House Callius as trustworthy and reliable messengers. The scroll is flanked by two olive branches, signifying peace and diplomacy won through their bravery and sacrifice.
Today, House Callius remains small and isolated, living on the fringes of power. While their influence has waned, the family takes pride in their history and their connection to the ancient alliance. Their heraldry serves as a reminder of the role diplomacy can play in shaping the future, even for those without great power or fame.
