House Vallos

The House was founded by Victor Vallos during the Great Eastern War, and at the end of the War of the Kings, they united the other noble houses under them as one unified kingdom called Valtoria. House Vallos was known for their curiosity and their desire to explore new ways of improving the quality of life for their people. This intellectual curiosity was reflected in the house's patronage of the arts and sciences. They established universities and libraries, and they sponsored the work of poets, musicians, and other artists. They were also famous for their patronage of alchemists and inventors, who were often given funding and resources to develop new technologies and innovations.

In addition to their intellectual pursuits, House Vallos was also renowned for their military might. Their pegasus riders were feared and respected across the continent, and they were a key part of the house's military strategy. Dragons were banned for use in combat after the War of the Kings, so House Vallos developed a new type of mounted knights. The pegasus fleet allowed the House to move troops quickly across the battlefield and strike from unexpected angles. They were also used for reconnaissance and for ferrying diplomats and messengers across the kingdom.

Another key aspect of House Vallos was their political acumen. The house's rulers were known for their ability to navigate the complex world of court politics, and they were often sought after as advisors and confidants by other noble families. They were also skilled at delegating tasks to those best suited for them, which allowed them to govern the kingdom effectively without getting bogged down in the minutiae of daily administration.

All of these qualities made House Vallos a beloved and respected house, and their reign was seen as a golden age in Valtoria's history. The house's downfall during the War of the Fallen Angel was a tragedy that was mourned by many, and their legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of the people of Valtoria.
