HAIL AND WELL MET!

Meles Minor House Crest by Shyredfox
Welcome! I'm Clawdia, one of the baby badger scouts. Are you new to House Meles or touring our beautiful protectorate?
  Let us show you around so you can learn about the chill Melesian badger and badger kith culture and catch up on our lore. (And we baby badgers like donuts. A lot. Have any to share?)
  House Meles is actively recruiting.

GET TO KNOW THE BADGER HOUSE

Shyredfox Librarian

by SRF + HF

Glad to have you here! I'm Princess ShyRedFox, one of the Meles House Librarians. Imogen is our other House Librarian.
  Meles is currently a Minor House, which means our house supports a major house (and we add to their word count) 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 Melesians you may see around our capital. There are links for continued reading, should you wish to dive deeper.
  Be sure to snag one of the donuts at the front desk. And if the baby badgers pester you for one of the donuts, rest assured they've already had their share.

 
House Meles Quick Facts

House Meles Vibes

Do these things resonate with you? Then you might fit into Meles really well!
 
House Culture Vibe
Modern Viking and Celtic mix. We use our Badger Heart henge and feast hall for most activities. Our biggest holiday is Yule. We hold Viking style AllThings so everyone has a say.
House Personality Vibe
Quiet, reserved, down to earth, always opinionated, chill but we can be fierce, loyal, "Salt of the earth"
At home/peace vibe
Hobbitish and dwarfish. We love donuts. 2nd and 3rd donut breakfast is always appreciated, please and thank you.
At war
Like Halo’s ODSTs. Loyal to the core. Because we are a Minor House, we are often dropped into the thick of things when other Houses need help and we are often first in and last out of the war.
House Litmon
Badger Scout Corps
We are known for
Earth sciences, Geomancy, “Badgering on” and “Badgering through”

 
Characters that fit in Meles
Samwise from the Lord of the Rings, Kristoff from frozen, Benvolio from Romeo and Juliet, Masterchief John-117 and Corporal Vasily Beloi from Halo
The Kingdom

Our House

House Meles, is a constitutional monarchy ruled by the Meles Trifecta. Our king or queen has historically been called The Great Badger. Though our current monarch, Queen Badger Purpleheart, prefers the title Queen Badger.
  Melesians welcome beings of all species as citizens and we tend to be a mellow lot. We value hard work and everyone having a voice, via the Allthing Protectorate-wide meetings. When you join, creature companions—much like a pet—may seek you out and ask you to care for them.
 

Meles Minor House Crest by Shyredfox

Our crest colors show off our forest origins. We aren't afraid to dig in and "badger through" our writing goals.
 

The Region

The territory of the Meles Protectorate includes the pre Word War US states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
  In March 2024 we moved from being a major house to a minor one. There were big changes to our borders with the Meles Ailurus Treaty of 2024.
 

The Capitol

Windy Willows "The Den" is the seat of government. It's located in an underground city set by a stunning mountain lake.
