House Orederchi

Based out of Briessa, House Orederchi lost much face following Strategos Isidore Orederchi's humiliating loss in The Phony War. Nationally made the scapegoat for the dismantling of the navy, House Orederchi must rebuild their reputation or face eventual exile from the Palazzi.

History
Founded during the golden age of the Valinium Empire, House Orederchi has been a powerful influence in the city of Briessa for a near millennium. Of course, there are many objections that they are truly that old but it is a source of pride for House Orederchi to continue asserting that fact.

For hundreds of years, Orederchi were politicians and loyal to the House of Mazarda. During the War of Four, they aided Briessa and Mazarine's side, and ultimately lost near half of their fortune. The only thing that saved them from exile and execution along with the House Mazarda was swearing fealty to the Palazzi, and to the first Supreme elected, Marius Desica.

The Phony War plunged House Orederchi further into disgrace as Strategos Isidore Orederchi suffered an embarrassing loss against Dorminia. This loss eventually escalated to the implementation of the Cordial Pact, effectively neutering the Briecian navy. Isidore Orederchi was scapegoated for the debacle, and was the first Strategos in history to take his life.
