House Brigatta was a great house in the outpost town of Wehnimer's Landing, and a member of the Co-operative Houses of Elanthia, or CHE. It was founded by Lady Taarna, after whom Taarna Road is named, as well as Lord Zinderin and Sterling.
House Brigatta was one of the oldest established houses in Wehnimer's Landing, located in the center of the town (three blocks due north of the infamous cul-de-sac). It was open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members. Membership ceremonies were often held on the second Monday and second Saturday of each month, in the evening hours.
Many members of House Brigatta spoke of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family, rather than that of a typical club or organization.
Famous members and former members included the amazon Luky, the enchanters Cerulean and Psionix, and 'house cat' Allequerie. Most infamous of all (amongst House Brigatta members of his time) was the possibly-insane bandana collector Bandanas (in whose memory a bandana-tied maoral broom stood in the house foyer as a memorial to his collecting habits and his unofficial title of 'house janitor'). Another well-known member was Zepath, who was the most well-known mapmaker in the days before Tsoran.
Lesser known former and current members include Dara, Rabenwolf, Greysleeve, Arlia, Melisani, Nali, Higher, Riftur, Khitajrah and many others.
Its emblem was the unicorn, its colors blue (often, sapphire blue) and silver. The house motto and battle cry was "Amici per aevum", meaning "friends forever" in a lost foreign tongue. The house's cause is community service.
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with statues (depicting Cerulean, Luky, Allequerie and Bandanas, as a representative sample) and a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed. The area is noded and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.
