House Helexis, The rise of the House.
1573, The industrial patriotic confederacy.

Karigov Helexis comes from from a wealthy militairy family who served the IPC central committee to supress the uprising from the other houses in 1357. Karigov mearly 18 years old collected the money from the bank that his perents left behind for him, what he was going to do with the money was unclear to the state but then few days after the withdrawl he addressed the state central committee to buy a house title. The central committee allowed young Karigov to become a House lord and gave him a small town called Forgersten.

"The central commitee expects you to uphold the patriotic laws of our confederacy in that town," an old man spoke from a high chair at one end of the room of the committee. "Do you accept the terms of the state on this town?"

"I indeed do sir, 7% of the taxes to be sent to the state aswell as 10 recruits if possible in the economy every year." A heavy yet friendly voice said, Karigov Helexis stood vast as he said so.

"Very well then, House Helexis statutes are of a small House, do as you wish with the town as since the larger houses have no interest in the town nor in you for the time being." said a man in red sitting at the right of the old man.

Karigov accepted the deed to the town and made preparations to go to the town immediately.

A few weeks later.

"Milord, the town of Forgersten." Said a rather scruffy looking man, wearing a bureaucratic sash.

"Very well mister Horister, press on to the center of town and inform the mayor and other bureaucrats that I have arrived, I shall wait in the coach till you have done so." sighed Karigov.

After the coach had stopped countless of villagers already walked up to the coach and the mayor was hanging from a cord outside the town hall. "What brutalness has caused this man to be hanged!" Karigov ran into an immediate rage, opening the coach door and jumping out, mud splashing on his military uniform. The villagers immediatly ran away after seeing the military emblems.

"Condemn it all, get me the police of this town right now!"

"Eh, sir...I'm Prince officer Jerdis of the police, I'm sorry to inform you-" before jerdis could finish his sentence Karigov snapped out in rage "What bedevils this town man, the mayor is hung and the police are not arresting these people?!"

"My lord let me explain.."

"Explain what! The mayor is dead on the day the new House that will govern over the town shows himself!"

Jerdis bowed deeply stuttering and mumbling some words. "My lord the mayor commited suicide."

"Well damned the villagers, cut him down at once officer!" Karigov snapped again and stormed into the town hall. mister Horister following closely with a briefcase.
