[[File:House brigatta.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Amici Per Aevum]]
'''House Brigatta''' is a Great House in the outpost town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], and a member of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]]. It was founded by Lady Taarna, after whom Taarna Road is named, as well as Lords Zinderin and Sterling, and was built in the year 5091. Brigatta celebrated it's 25th anniversary in the year 5116.

House Brigatta is one of the oldest Houses in [[Elanith]], located in the center of Wehnimer's Landing (three blocks due north of the infamous cul-de-sac.) The House has annexes in all major towns and cities. It is open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members.

Many members of House Brigatta speak of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family within the House - rather than that of a typical club or organization.

On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away.

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for by-laws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''House Colors:''' White and blue. White for purity, truth and honesty. Blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''House Coat-of-Arms:''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''House Motto:''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''House Religion:''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing.

'''Races and Professions:''' All welcome.

The House has annexes in all major towns and cities. It is open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members.

Many members of House Brigatta speak of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family within the House - rather than that of a typical club or organization.

==Behind the Scenes==
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away. The area is a node and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brigatta.png#file]]

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for by-laws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''House Colors:''' White and blue. White for purity, truth and honesty. Blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''House Coat-of-Arms:''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''House Motto:''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''House Religion:''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing.

'''Races and Professions:''' All welcome.

House Brigatta/History

2017-01-23T18:55:49Z

BLACKHOLE: fixed it to say "knew" instead of "new.

''From the old Brigatta.com site:''

''Told by the Legendary Lord Cerulean...''

'''[House Brigatta, Common Room]''' 
The main room of the house is large but cozy. A pair of leather settees with matching footstools sit before a massive rough-hewn stone fireplace. Along one wall, tall bookcases stand alternately with weapons racks, each holding a goodly assortment of their proper objects. Thickly woven tapestries cover the windows, enhancing the room's feelings of privacy and intimacy.
Also in the room: Lord Cerulean who is seated, Luky who is seated. 
Obvious exits: south, east.

Cerulean plops down and settles into one of the leather settees, facing the house's Mistress, the warm glow of the fireplace filling the common room. As Cerulean gestures, a well worn tome floats from the bookcase to his hand, "Let me relate to you the birth of [[House Brigatta|House of Brigatta]] as scribed by my family. My clan has walked these lands well before the ice age. When my great grandfather adventured to the [[Wehnimer's Landing|landing]], the town was small. Adventurers had only explored the kobold forest, the grasslands, the mine road and the old mine beyond the road. The most fierce creature we had discovered were cave trolls. As the years passed, our town grew, more citizens arrived and adventurers needing to expand their horizons discovered and attempted to tame new areas.

The next generation of my family, my father Gardner, a sorcerer, and his 3 brothers Sterling, an empath; Garion, a mage; and Tory, a cleric spent their entire lives in Kelfour's. This was the [[ICE age|ice age]]. The lands were still small and almost every citizen knew each other. Over the years my family married into one of the most well-known and respected families in the lands, that of Lady Taarna and Alhana Waayfinder. Lady Taarna was at the time the eldest residing cleric in the lands. Even as a mere mortal she had the gift for communing with the gods. The union of my father Gardner, a little known sorcerer who studied the black arts of pain and the legendary Lady Taarna, a giver of life seemed to be a mis-match, but as my father notes in the tome, they were very happy together. My uncle Sterling gave up his practice as a healer and used his gifted touch as a thief, a much more lucrative profession. My uncle writes, 'Alhana and I would have weekly contests, running rampant across the lands seeing who could accumulate the most wealth... I usually lost. I really think her victims gave up more loot for her because she had nicer legs than me.'"

Cerulean shifts in his seat, "Brigatta... Brigatta... ah here is where the entries for the house begin. Originally the house was built for our immediate family, it was to be our home, with only a few close friends residing there too. That was why Lady Taarna designed such a small house. We wanted a small, cozy place. The town bylaws called for 3 house officers so Zinderin, Lady Taarna's student was invited to join and become a founding member. Brigatta was chosen as the name, in a foreign language it stands for defender. The house colors were white and blue. White for purity, truth, honesty; and blue for loyalty and inner strength.

My father writes, Over the years Gardner and Taarna drifted apart. Taarna who always had the gift of communing with the gods became discontent with Kelfours/Elanthia. During her travels to other lands she discovered a place that was new and exciting once again. Taarna would eventually relocate to this new land and even though I would travel there too, I found Elanthia to be my home and would decide to remain here. So special was this elven cleric that the town named a street after her... as long as our town exists, so will the memory of Lady Taarna."

Cerulean stretches and reminisces about the stories Taarna and Gardner and Alhana and Sterling would tell him as he grew up. "The following years were uneventful, my father and uncles eventually retired and the reins of House Brigatta were handed down to me, the eldest son. Before Lady Taarna moved on she hand picked Lady Dara and Lord Carrentheon to replace the other founders. From a house of less than 20 members, our roster has grown to over 300, with more members finding us every week. Even as we expand, my goal is to keep the atmosphere of Brigatta cozy and friendly. A home away from home. A place where our members can rest and gather with friends and companions. A place free from conflicts and politics. I've been to other houses in the landing, and they are more like castles, keeps, mansions... large and cold. I would rarely see their members gathering inside those walls. On a personal note, members of my family have been nobodies, coming to this land with literally nothing but the clothes on their backs and the change in their pockets. I know what it's like to be looked down upon by Lords and Ladies who think they are better. In Brigatta, I try and treat everyone as equal, lord or commoner, rich or poor, under our roof all are equal in my eyes. I like to expect the same of all house members."

Cerulean beams, "And as our members grow and mature, they begin to leave our house, to start their own houses or just to follow their own destinies. Hopefully their lives have been improved and if they learned anything, they will pass it on to the next generation. Even as these words are scribed, new lands are being discovered and new towns are being settled and new citizens are being born. No matter how large and how far we expand in the name of progress, House Brigatta will always be... just a home."
