Howdy y'all, and welcome to House Lapin. I'm Sergeant Sean "Bigwig" O'Shea, retired from the March Hares, now serving with the Owsla Security Squads under Commander DM Stretch.

And I'm LUNA!
Yes, everyone knows who you are, little Princess. chuckle   I'm here to guide your tour of the Warren and introduce you to our Protectorate.
And I'll help!
Please mind the "No Entry" signs. We're not kiddin' about the warnings.
 

GET TO KNOW THE RABBIT HOUSE

Sable Aradia (HeroForge)

Welcome to Lapin! Enjoy the chaos.... I'm Princess Rowean, the Queen's sister and Lapin House Librarian.   Lapin is currently a Major House, which means we can stand on our own, or a Minor House may support us during Game of Tomes events. These events include Tourney of Tales in April and July, and the Word Wars (aka Game of Tomes) in November.   (Full event rules are at the Game of Tomes homepage.)   Below is a quick rundown of our Protectorate and some of the other Lapins and Lapinites you may see around our capital. There are links for continued reading, should you wish to dive deeper.   Don't forget to pick up your complimentary bookmarks at the information desk.
Ooh! I like reading! Can I see the bunny bookmarks, Auntie Ro?
 
House Lapin Quick Facts
 
The Kingdom

Our House

House Lapin is a constitutional monarchy ruled by The Chief Rabbit, who is currently Queen Sable Aradia, also called "Sable-rah" by Lapinites. "-Rah" is a title that means "royalty or chief."  
She's my mamma!

  Her Seneschal, also called The Rabbit's Paw, is the Prince Consort Erin Righ. "Righ" is a Celtic title meaning "king." The Queen and her representatives have absolute authority over matters of war, which the Lapin Protectorate takes very seriously, but otherwise, Parliament governs in peacetime.  
That's daddy!

  The House Heir is appointed by the Chief Rabbit, and is assumed to succeed to the Carrot Throne should anything happen to the Chief, but they must be confirmed by the Lapins and they must successfully pass a series of tests. Our current Heir is mine and the Queen's sister, Princess Sunny.  
Auntie bounces me on her tentacles. It's fun!

  We're not only bunnies, however. We welcome beings of all species and we try to provide a safe haven for all. We have a lot of cat-people, for example, and most Lapinites are human. His Royal Highness is even a werewolverine!  
Uncle James is a tiger. Auntie Flubb and Uncle Cheetya are kitties, too. They're soft. They let me pet them.

  We're known to be a friendly lot, and we value a sense of humour and having fun. We're curious and full of tricks, and we appreciate cleverness. We work hard, we fight hard, and we play hard. Yes, I'm sorry about the glitter all over everything. It's harmless. I'd like to say it isn't normal, but I'd be lying.  
Glitter! Yay! I like glitter. It's sparkly, like stars.

  We're also very chatty. You may have noticed. The Realm calls it "Lapining" when we natter through a time we're supposed to be working.   You may also have noticed all the bunnies underfoot. You'll even find some bunny cryptids here and there. They seem to like it here.

House Lapin by Dani Adventures

The distinctive "Lapin pink" of our House crest is representative of our warmth and the love we share for each other. We're known for our creativity and innovation.  

The Region

The territory of the Lapin Protectorate includes most of pre Word War Canada, including the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, the former Canadian Territories of the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and the former US states of Alaska, California, and Arizona.   The original Protectorate included Washington and Oregon States, but they were ceded to The Missing House after The Second Word War. California and Arizona were annexed by referendum following the dissolution of House Tiki.  
The Lapin Protectorate maintains the Canadian practice of having two official languages: English and French. Government services in Spanish, Mandarin, 1337 Speak and Urdu are also widely available.
 

The Capitol

The Royal Seat and the center of government is The Warren, which is a massive underground complex located beneath our capitol, Okanagan City. The Warren includes accommodations suited to all Houses, which are designated as Embassies and are considered the sovereign soil of those Houses. It's also the Royal Residence, so you'll notice a strong military presence.

    House Lapin Vibes

    Do these things resonate with you? Then you might fit into Lapin really well!  
    House Culture Vibe
    Band of Brothers meets The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Lapins are like a combination of a chaotic, quirky family and a close-knit military unit who may argue and disagree, but who come together when the chips are down. The Bunnycomb and the Bunnycomb Atrium, the central meeting halls of the Warren, are the center of most social activities. Our biggest holiday is Avisalia (Easter). Sense of humour leans to the offbeat, and affection is often expressed by gentle razzing. Much inspiration is taken from the El-Ahrairah myth cycle of Watership Down and other rabbit-trickster figures.
    House Personality Vibe
    Chaotic, warm, communal, energetic, lively, loyal, sarcastic, spirited. "Head in the clouds and feet on the ground," "Hope for the best but plan for the worst."
    At home/peace vibe
    Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. Lapin is always either at war or ready for war, so we play hard, and take the joys of life as they come. There is always room for the ridiculous and the spontaneous, and we tend to laugh hardest when things are at their worst.
    At war
    Queen Sable is fond of saying, "If the fight is fair, your tactics suck." Lapins hate war, so we are very, very good at it. We have a justified reputation for being savvy, strategic, and not adverse to using using dirty tricks. That said, we are the first to put ourselves in the line of fire for our friends or for what we know is right, regardless of the risk, and we absolutely keep our word once given.
    House Litmon
    Carrot Patch Guardian. Dust Bunnies are also popular.
    We are known for
    Tactical acumen, creative solutions, bravery, a touch of madness, Vivimancy, “Lapining through the sprints” (socializing or being distracted when we're supposed to be working)
    Keywords
    Valiant, adroit, shrewd, distractible

    Indiana Jones, Bigwig from Watership Down, Delann from Babylon 5, Bugs Bunny, Officer Judy Hopps from Zootopia, Miles Vorkosigan, Starbuck, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Sailor Moon, Mulan, Hawkeye from M.A.S.H., Arya Stark, the witches from Diskworld
