House Orion of Brighton

House Orion of Brighton is a noble house of Gideon that was selected to lead the humble and religious town of Brighton after their former Lord ascended to the Radiant Throne. They are the closest hold to the countries capital of Dawn's Edge.

History

When House Valmont was selected to lead Gideon, a conclave of the towns nobility was held in Brighton to select the next leader. The first morning, the day of the meeting, the new King dressed as a poor beggar and sat in the town square outside the meeting begging for aid. He was mostly ignored by the townsfolk, and mocked by many of the lesser lords, until a hedge knight named Orion offered him assistance. At the meeting, the Lords were surprised to find that the new King had already made his choice. House Orion remains the youngest of the houses, only a few generations old, and as such doesn't have much influence on regional politics. Their only strength is that they have the most influence over the clergy, as the High Church of Pelor is located in their hold fast. In fact, the most recent heir to House Orion chose to follow the path of Pelor instead of inheriting the family line. He has since gone on to become the High Priest of Pelor.
