Winternight Beltline

The Winternight Beltline Heraldry

History

The Winternight Beltline is the third generation beltline or belted family by Sir Wanderer, under the name Baron Sir Michael Winternight.
This group serves as a family of choice for it's members, as well as a hub for political alliances and lately, (when needed), as a crisis response team for Celestial Kingdom.
The beltline gained prominence in 2009, in Reign 37 for the Celestial Kingdom under Esuom III.
During Reign 38 for the CK, under HRM Queen Sylvanista I, the beltline will turn inward instituting what has been referred to as an "Infrastructure Reign". Standard needs such as garb for both court and field use, chains of rank, belts, weapons, armor, and general items will be gathered.

The Horde

Esuom made the joke that due to the size of the line, they were a "Horde". As Amtgardians, they couldn't a bad joke slide. So the squires have decided to run with this nickname for the reign (possibly longer). The Murky Waters Baronial Coronation was themed - THE HORDE HAS LANDED. In honor of Squire Hobbes' stepping up to Baron, the beltline made a concerted raid on the event.

Notable Awards

The Order of the Flame for Reign 37 awards by HRM Esoum III.
