House Character:
Often called cold, ruthless, heartless, scheming, and anachronistic, House Bajazet is known for being
steeped in eccentric traditions, clinging to many titles and conventions of
their Ottoman past. To them it is a source of strength and
pride. Given at times to self destruction, the Bajazet's are
known as fierce fighters, quick to anger, and slow to calm. With
their heritage firmly rooted in the absolute power of the Ottoman
Empire, they are firm beleivers to the last in 'The Divine Right
of Kings". While its fortunes remain somewhat deflated in the light
of the losses inflicted by the Malarca campaign and its ruling
family rocked by Sarina's death, the House's deep well of tradition
and ferocity of character appears to have continued to preserve them.
History:
Steeped in tradition, House Bajazet is named for
Sultan Bajazet I, of the ancient Terran Ottoman Empire, whom the descendants
of this House trace their lineage back to. Proud and stubborn, the Bajazet's
began as a House Minor, rewarded for their loyalty to the Corrino's, shortly
after the Battle of Corrin. In the early
millennia of House Bajazet, its rulers remained staunchly
loyal to the Imperium, however, during this time, The House
collapsed into internal turmoil. For six generations, the heirs
and sons of House Bajazet fought against each other, each trying
to make their own claim on the House's holdings. At last the
Na-Baron Suleiman reigned victorious, and resurrecting an arcane
Ottoman tradition, ordered his 7 remaining brothers slaughtered.
Since ascending to the Houses Major two Millennia ago, House
Bajazet began to slowly and carefully consolidated their holdings
within CHOAM and the Landsraad. Now numbered among the most prestigious
of the Houses Major, the Bajazet are attempting to continue to build
their fortunes and further prosper beenath the battering winds of
assassination and their enemies' intrigues.
