jan 1, 538 - Great Houses of Caspia Founded

Description:

Rex ruled over his kingdom for many years, until during a sporting display he rashly decided to wrestle a gorgon with his bare hands. The old king was turned to stone while holding the beast in a headlock. The petrified body of Rex Caspian still stands as a statue in the center of the Rex Colosseum, clutching the gorgon in place. Though mages and apothecaries offered to reverse the curse many times, Rex Caspian’s six children instead decided to let their father remain as a “glorious symbol” while they promptly divided his kingdom amongst themselves.

Each formed one of the six houses of Caspia, fracturing their father’s empire into six warring kingdoms.

the kingdoms are referred to as "Houses." Houses are:

Jackson
Jones
Joplin
