House Longgrass

"Blood Runs Thicker."

House Longgrass, the secluded and secretive House home to madmen and incestual freaks. Inbred, broken, and nearly exctinct they've finally come out of the shadows after the previous Ironborn Invasion. With Meckle the Third at the reins, perhaps the family which in all respects is perfectly mediocre, might rise to greatness. Or fall, ever further.

History
"We Longgrass trace back our line to Meckle the Fool, the Brazen, and the Mad. He was a bold individual who conquered one pesky Hall of the First Men in the Riverlands. At the time, he was a Lowborn commander leading a peasant levy. When faced with what would come to be known as Meckleburg, the marshes were too bothersome for his simple brigade to conquer without taking heavy losses. He had the men cut down the trees and fashion planks and bows. He rained down a storm of arrows and crossed the marshes, conquering the Hall and butchering it's Lord. For his cunning, he was awarded the Hall, given title, and was able to found his own House. Unfortunately, as stated before, Meckle was a madman.

He passed a law statting no Longgrass could marry outside the family. At the time, he had three sons, and two daughters. Bastards kept the bloodline going but soon the incest drove us into the ground. When Aegon crushed the Gardener and Lannister Host at the Field of Fire, the token force from Meckleburg had also been lost along with a Bastard Heir who was not as degenerate as the other Longgrass lords. We Longgrass show the corruption of incest not in mind, such as the Mad King, but in body.

The family was kept alive for a short time after Aegon's rule, but sadly it could not last. Further decline came when the law was upheld once again by my Great Grandfather, Meckle the Second. This caused the incest to continue when the law had just been previously ignored for some. The Ironborn Invasion, for what little good it did, changed this. The law was shattered when I, Meckle the Third at the age of sixteen took control of the House after my father was slain by the invaders. I have burnt the old laws of my House, and reformed new ones to take their place. Our words are "Blood Runs Thicker", but any Meckleburger will tell you the full words are" Blood Runs Thicker Than All Else".

Family
Lord Meckle Longgrass the Third of Meckleburg

The Lord of Longgrass is a wise young man with a ambition and drive to repair the extensive damage to his family line through incestual breeding. He himself, is marred by it. He is a weak man, with his left arm being smaller than his right. His left hand has only two fingers, and one thumb. His appearance is scrawny, and he lacks the bulk of most lords. Yet he tempers this with being sociable, and covers up his deformed hand with a glove.
