Risen out of the ashes of treachery, House Lukas has a hard job ahead of it. Towards the end of the Blackfyre Rebellion, a banner House of House Deltario called House Semphair aligned themselves with the Blackfyres in secret opposition to their liege lords. But one of their knights, Ser Adner, revealed their perfidy to House Deltario. Once House Semphair's line was extinguished to the last man, woman and child, Ser Adner was made master of their now-ruined lands. He took the name of his father as his House name, and has struggled to do the faith of the Deltarios justice ever since.

Domains

  • House Fortune Rolls: -10 Law, -5 Pop
  • Trained Warships (Pow: 10)
  • Trained Infantry (Pow: 7)

Greencoast

A rolling green, lightly wooded swathe of coastal hills, the Greencoast is where House Lukas elected to make their new seat, Lealgarde. Greencoast has three estates: Lealham, Mordry and Eelvale. (Hills; Coast, Light Woods; Land: 13 pt)

  • Lealgarde: Tower. Less than fifty years old, Lealgarde is a squat, square tower within sight of the coastline and the village of Lealham, whose central feature is the House's warship docks. (Defense: 10 pt)

Semphair Rise

The old grassy hills of Semphair Rise is crowned by the ruins of Semphair Tower, destroyed as the fatal stroke against old House Semphair. Semphair Rise has only a single remaining estate, Alton Hill. (Hills; Ruin, Grassland; Lands: 11 pt)

Members of the House

  • Ser Josian Lukas: Master of the House. Grandson of the House's founder, Josian is aware of the difficult situation he's inherited. Unlike his father, Rudryn, he hasn't allowed that knowledge to drive him to drink, however. Josian is a canny young knight, and one very well aware of his limitations. His real strength, however, lies in the reading of other people, and in judging their capabilities - which explains his choice of wife. Though he knows he has chosen wisely for his House, he hopes to one day come to truly love Lelya, rather than simply respecting and valuing her as he does now.
  • Lelya Lukas: Mistress of the House. Born Lelya Sand, Lelya is the by-blow of a minor Qorgyle cousin and the former Maester of that House. She is unfortunately unattractive, with perpetually greasy hair and an unfortunate asymmetry to her features. Teasing in her childhood has left her somewhat ill-suited to social situations, but her doting father trained her well in her numbers, and she brings to House Lukas a sharp mind and keen nose for business. Under her management, the House's affairs have already begun to rise again. Though she knows that her husband chose her for her business acumen and household management skills, she does truly love him.
