The Brotherhood was based in the Barony of the Angels. It was not a household per se but a band of like minded fighters organized under a single banner in service to the King of the West, though mostly to the Prince of Caid as the Brotherhood was the organized core of the Caiden army in it's day. It was believed to be the first organized fighting group to practice, arm, and go to battle together.
History
Ranks were assigned according to finish order in melee tournaments.
The First Brotherhood of the Blade Melee Tourney was autocrated by Charles of Dublin and Robear du Bois. There were 10 melees held, with a total of 20 fighters on the field. Teams were picked by the lists using a random draw, with the first one picked being the captain. There was a wild variety of tactics tried that day, from a hollow square with 2 polearm men inside (which worked well if your opponent spread out around the square and attacked in a dis-jointed fashion), to a swarm of skirmishers fighting individually (which worked well if you had the better fighters). Points were also given based on what you fought with...such as a large shield was -2 points and a pole arm was +3. There were about 6 Ladies at the Lists table, as each fighter had to check in after each battle and a separate score sheet was kept for each fighter. This was really good practice for wars and a lot of fun.
