    Motto:Für Calemberg, kämpfen wir.” | We fight for Calemberg

    Originally established in 198 AC by Niven Alarick Typhonus during the height of the succession crisis that occurred within Calemberg. As many others amongst the Calemberg populace were vying for the seat of it, as Lady Melissandre Cadar had no legitimate heirs, Niven took it upon himself, with his prominent position within local government, rallied numerous sellswords, for he was one, to his banner. He and his group intended to seize the City of Calemberg, the capital of the Archduchy at that time. And somehow, despite all of the odds against him with unclear numbers of just how many they would be facing, Niven and his men stormed the city and occupied the city with very little resistance. Petitioning Emperor Handorien himself, Niven was granted formal control over the City of Calemberg and the surrounding province, as well as the title “Count of Calemberg,” officially entering the House Typhonus into the ranks of the aristocracy. To ensure that those who had assisted his family into its place amongst the nobility would never be forgotten, Niven established the Grey Company via Calemberg law to be the House Guard and personal retinue of the family head as long as House Typhonus stood.

    In the present, the Company has traded hands various times amongst the members of House Typhonus. Many have held the position of Grand Commander of the Grey Company, but at present,such a title falls to Madame Josephine Typhonus, the eldest daughter of Thoron and Elena Typhonus. A member of the School of Huntverk, Madame Josephine is much like the other members of her School, like a mountain: standing tall, proud, and often alone. However, alone she is no longer as she has taken up this mantle since coming to Regalia.

    As for the role The Grey Company plays in day-to-day activity. They are responsible for protecting House Typhonus, and also are led on contracts from the state and other houses to fend off whatever requested of them. To say the least, the company never falls short in things to do. Daily training is put in place, formations, events, and otherwise come to the planning that goes on behind the curtains. Now, The Grey Company is seated with lodging within one of the spires in the Typhonburg estate, ample training room, and a direct connection to House Typhonus.

    Grand Commander:
    The Head of the Grey Company. All orders come from them or are passed to them by the other members of House Typhonus. This position is always held by a member of the house. At present, it falls to Madame Josephine Typhonus, a member of the School of Huntverk. She is a well-known huntress and known to never shy from a good hunt.
    Held by Josephine Typhonus @Walnoodle

    Captain:
    The Rank of Captain. This is the second in command and often seen as the right hand of the Grand Commander. When the Grand Commander is away, the captain is in charge and ensures that drills and spars go smoothly.

    To the Grand Commander,

    I am once again requesting to be accepted as a guard for house Typhonus. I left without notice and I deeply apologize for it, my family was having issues along with the clicker pandemic. If you are willing to accept me into your ranks I would be grateful for the opportunity.


    Best Regards

    Letter to Grand Commander Josephine Typhonus:

    Lady Typhonus,

    As I understand it word has already reached your ears, perhaps from multiple sources, of my arrival in the city and interest in aiding your family in their endeavours. I hope that word from me directly will be enough to inspire a sit down between the two of us to discuss this further.

    Yours in service,
    Johanna von Wolfsburg
    Order of Griffers
