The Three Principles
I.
Hunt in Their Name.
Above all, House Blackthorn serves the Princedom of Caethir and Her Crownprinces. It has sworn its Feality unto Death.
II.
The Beast Cares Not For Details
House Blackthorn and its members are dedicated to the hunt for dangerous beasts and all that comes along with it. It is not, however, interested in Politics.
III.
As Long As Your Legs Hold
There is no Failure, except Surrender. As long as you live, you shall never Cower or Surrender.

History
The House Blackthron was elevated into Nobility for its service to the Princedom by hunting and slaying Beasts that threatened the fledgling Nation in its Infancy. During those days, the Blackthorns rallied the largely unorganized and sporadic Hunters that settled the camp which would later become Caethir.
With due time, the hunters came to wear the Purple coats that the three founding brothers of the House wear. Magical Beasts were slain, and many, many boars were hunted and butchered for the use of the Inns. As the camp evolved into a village, and then a city, the constant threat from monsters somewhat lessened.
With that being as it is, the nobles of the House have refocused their efforts away from ordinary monsters, to focus on the greater threat of Magical Beasts.

The House Patron
Quote:"Wind blows through the trees, coldness beyond ice. The fields grow covered in frost, beyond thaw. In the distance, Hooves thunder and Hounds Bellow. Atop a Pale Horse, the Master rides, sword in hand, eyes on his prey.
Wotan's Hunt Rides."
-Snippet of an ancient story, Author and Date unknown.

House Blackthorn has declared the Angel, Wotan, as its patron. An Angel oft obscured and known too few, it is said that when the world was still in a state of chaos and strife, Wotan set out to hunt all that is impure on this world. For Millenia, he has ridden across the Cosmos, slaying all manner of Beasts.
Once a Hunter of superb talent reaches the end of his life, so it is said, Wotan's Hunt will streak across the sky to take the soul of the dead, and elevate it into his eternal hunting party.
One of the few contacts he has had with those outside of his Hunting Party, he is recorded to have uttered the phrase "Góðir Huntojan" A phrase which as been adopted by House Blackthorn.
Hierarchy
The House has adopted a most simple Hierarchy for now. There is one Leader, who represents the House officially. Otherwise, all members of the Blackthorn are equal in standing.
