NOT ACCESSIBLE TO GUESTS. The current rulers of the Kingdom of Thislandia, and the hosts of the tourney's joust, the Soleil Levant family is young, but powerful. They often invite members of their kingdom's nobility to sit with them and enjoy the privilege of officiating the event.

Their House colours are Gules (red) and Rose (pink) with Or (gold) accents.

Usurped by the Sarcenils before the Sarcenils themselves were usurped by the current King, the Cymbers were kings of Thislandia once, and have never forgotten that. Unfortunately, they won't let anyone else forget it, either. Arrogant and prickly, most members of the family will challenge 'offenders' at the drop of a hat. They seldom give their peasants leisure, and oddly, their peasants seem to take a perverse pride in how difficult their lives are. Their lords are strong, and don't bend to the whims of others.

Their House colours are Purpure (reddish purple) and Argent (silver/white) with Ermine accents.

A family of country squires famous for their skill at breeding hunters (horses). They earn their money by supplying mounts to other nobles and by hunting the wild forests around their land. They have a decent relationship with their peasantry, and allow them to hunt small game when they aren't assisting with their lord's hunting parties.

Their House colours are Vert (green) and Sable (black) with Argent (silver/white) accents.

A wealthy family with an abundance of marriageable daughters. They earn their money by the vast flocks of sheep pastured on the rolling hills of Fantiland. They are a good and moral family and quite close to their peasantry. They even give them time to bathe twice monthly.

Their House colours are Rose (pink) and Or (pink) with Azure (blue) accents.

Ambitious and political, the Sarcenil family has earned its lands and fortune at the expense of others, whether during war or by impoverishing other knights in the joust. They were a family of kings, once, having usurped the throne from the Cymberburns, and they are determined to be kings again, not to mention wreaking bloody revenge upon the line of the current monarchy. Their peasants are taxed harshly and treated very poorly, never called by name. e.g. boy, cobbler, baker, peasant.

Their House colours are Gules (red) and Sable (black) with Or (gold) accents.

Once a noble family to be reckoned with, poor management, the gambling debts of ruinously tipsy uncles and ill-fated marriages have humbled the family name. They retain but small estate, run by a bumbling yet genial lord. They joust to earn money and fame enough to reclaim their days of glory. Their peasants are poor, and few, many having left for greener pastures. Many more have had their lands -- and thereby themselves -- sold to other noble houses to pay debts.

Their House colours are Or (gold) and Azure (blue).
