Chiroptera Plate by Moonflower

  House Chiroptera is a Major House. It is led by the Queen of the Night — TaraFaeBelle after the death of the former monarch Siobhan the Writer. Its base is The Cavern located near Sydney in Australia.  

History

Centuries Ago...

When the House started, we were run by a Council, made of up of various 'creatures of the night' in Ireland. In the 1400s there was a 'Great Wing War' that split the House between winged members and non-winged members. Soon the House went underground and much history was lost. Or was it...?  

Game of Tomes 2020

House Chiroptera participated in Game of Tomes 2020. It was the third House to fall to the Undead Horde, with its leader being an unfortunate victim of zombification. The members of House Chiroptera who fell to the Horde were cured of their zombification when House Mollusca claimed the Iron Tome.

Coronation

September 2022 TaraFaeBelle was coronated Queen of Bats.
  The Cavern moved to Australia at this time. Will the Cavern tell of its tales over the centuries? Or will it keep its sekrets hidden in the walls?  

Game of Tomes 2022

House Chiroptera participated in the Games of Tomes 2022. Queen Tara started to explore the newly found Sekret Library hidden in the Cavern walls, only opened by a key passed to her from the previous Queen. While there, she found some books listing the history of Chiroptera, as well as reading aloud the ghost of her ancestor who created the Sekret Library.
  Chiroptera was the second House to fall to the Undead Horde, the Queen being saved by Knightwing MrBigTAnderson's 50k challenge feat, although Knightwing Dhan Llynya was lost to the Horde. After heading to the seas, the Queen & remaining Knightwing MrBigTAnderson were zombified when House Mollusca fell. The members of House Chiroptera who fell to the Horde were cured of their zombification when House Sauropda claimed the Iron Tome.   The portal in Chiroptera was completed at the beginning of 2023.
 

Tourney of Tales April 2023

House Chiroptera participated in the April Tourney of Tales 2023. Phyreball, who had been helping the Queen check the growing security systems of the Cavern had risen to a Knightwing after finding a centuries old mechanism in the Cavern walls. Meanwhile the ghost of Queen Tara's ancestor worries over the growing collection of people inside her brain as Queen Tara filks of the origins of the term 'Batshit Crazy'.

Diplomatic Relations

Chiroptera ↔ Lapin

75 ↔ 80

Military Alliance

Relations between the two Houses are, in general, excellent. The Babbit Alliance treaty was re-signed by both Queens after the passing of Queen Siobhan and the two are friends. Queen Sable trusted Queen Tara to be part of the Guardians of the Tome when it was held by Lapin, and Queen Tara has found the Bunny Queen to be a great help and support when she was suddenly required to take the Cavern Throne. Prince Jean's support of Chiroptera, even after the loss of his fiancee, has been noticed and appreciated by the Bats, too, and Prince Jean and Queen Tara are friends.   After The Third Word War there is a little tension, however. A few Lapins question why the Bats did not join them when Chiroptera fell, and a few Bats question why the Bunnies did not join them in supporting Mollusca when Lapin fell.

Chiroptera ↔ Meles

30 ↔ 40

Military Alliance

The two Houses have a history of generally positive relations, but do not usually have much to do with each other.

Chiroptera ↔ Mollusca

80 ↔ 80

Military and Trade Alliance

Chiroptera fled to Mollusca when their House fell in The Third Word War and Mollusca was grateful for the help and support. A strong friendship has developed between Queen Tara and Scion Striker. Although their youth and inexperience put them in a difficult position when Mollusca fell, they fought and fell together. Both leaders are actively working to strengthen their friendship and House relationship.

Chiroptera ↔ Sauropoda

50 ↔ 30

Military Alliance

Sauropoda came to the aid of Chiroptera and Mollusca when Mollusca fell, and the Bats have not forgotten this. In general, the two Houses are favourably disposed to each other.

Chiroptera ↔ Ailurus

80 ↔ 80

Military and Trade Alliance

Ailurus fought for Chiroptera in the Third Word War, and Archon Mykola and Queen Tara became the best of friends. Both have worked hard to maintain good relationships and friendships when Ailurus changed fealty.

Chiroptera ↔ Avis

25 ↔ 25

Military Alliance

While the two Houses are generally friendly towards each other, they have established little by way of alliances or agreements, and even compete in a couple of areas.

Chiroptera ↔ The Company

-75 ↔ -50

Openly Hostile

Chiroptera considers The Company a mortal enemy after they almost killed Queen Siobhan. The Company hates and fears all literomancers, but is doubly concerned about Chiroptera after the increased hostility following their attempted murder of the Bat Queen.

Chiroptera ↔ Chaos Cartel

50 ↔ 60

Friendly

Chiroptera is supportive of the message of the Cartel, and the Cartel is quite pleased with the active encouragement work of Queen Tara. Rumour has it that the Cartel is considering recruiting her.

Chiroptera ↔ The Self-Care Mafia

50 ↔ 35

Good Terms

Chiroptera is generally supportive of the message of the Mafia, but the Mafiosos have a distinct problem with the Knightwing known as Mr. Big T Anderson, or "The Mad Batter" who not only ignores them blatantly, but tells them to piss off.
