Come Be Grim With Us

Do you like being grim? Like Grim grim? When you smile do your lips mostly make a flat line keeping all joy from your eyes? -_- ?

Then maybe you should play a Grimhall!

House Grimhall is part of the Thrax fealty, with a reputation for being the most traditional of the Ducal Houses of the Isles up to a point...recent events may have shifted that dubious honor elsewhere. The Grims /are/ however one of the Houses struggling to walk the balance of the traditionalism expected by their people, and the growing progressive movements across the Compact and the Isles as well. It's a place for careful politicians and fearless reavers, a place for sailors and naval commanders as well as a growing number of diplomats and members of the faith.

We have some characters on roster who have been played a few times but not for very long and provide both plenty of hooks and plenty of room to make the character your own.

Ingrid Grimhall, the Duke's younger sister. is onee of these. She is more of a quiet sort with scholarly interests, including law and economics. For more information, take a look here: https://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/51660/

Another is Lucaj Grimhall, a cousin to Duke Valdemar and his siblings. Though a traditionalist Mourning Islander and warrior in most respects, he does have some differences with them. You can see more here: https://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/110878/

Destin Saltshore is a roster character who has never been played before. He's written as a faithful ex-thrall with a possible current role as the head of House Grimhall's guards, though there are other roles that he might be equally suited for. Grab him if the idea of a commoner character who you can shape into your own seems appealing! Take a look at him here https://play.arxgame.org/character/sheet/56578/

Another commoner serving the house is Karina Seabright, a talented artist with family ties to Grimhall. Outside of the family, she has ties to the Crafter's Guild, and is another of our "blank slate" characters with room for growth and new interests. More information is here: https://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/55059/

Lilia Grimhall is a character who married into the family from house Telmar in the Oathlands, the wife of the Duke's brother Ingvar. With ties to her former fealty as well as the Explorers and the Salon, she's a character with a lot of potential hooks into different plot going on throughout the game. For more information, look here: https://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/3127/

Tatyana Grimhall has ties to the court and the Faith through her discipleship to the Sentinel, and an interesting past. Other than that, she is very much a blank slate, only played once or twice and not for long in any event. Here is more on her: https://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/100330/

Finally, Sanya Grimhall has been played pretty extensively, but has a lot of connections as a result. A cousin to the Duke and his siblings, she has served as the House's Voice and remains their minister of Productivity and Efficiency.

Hope to have some of you joining us! So excited about it this is my face: -_-
