House of Blades

"'One thousand blades, One thousand voices'" The House of Blades is a House in both Oreville and Oreville Prime. During the events of Oreville Prime, the House of Blades had rejected its original banner, and shifted to become the USSWP (Union of Soviet Socialists' Workers Party). They have shown a distaste for the Outlanders and Raiders, and actively discriminate against/kill them. They were one of the Houses that made the Jump to Oreville II, and remained a strong power until the time of the Great Dissension, in which the infighting led to the destruction and dissolution of the entire House System.

History
Traditionally, the House of Blades were the Warrior House on Oreville Prime, serving as its primary military force. However after the Whirlwind, the House had rejected the traditional House System, in favor of a controversial political system.

During Oreville Prime
The House of Blades during this time were known as the USSWP, who had made a strong presence immediately following the Whirlwind, accepting those into their ranks who desired food or security. They became one of the most technologically advanced surviving Orevillian factions, boasting high production levels, high-class amenities, and powerful weapons. The USSWP were one of the first Houses to openly wage war on raider factions, shooting any non-ally on sight. Unfortunately, their initial base was destroyed following a Raider attack on their base of operations. The USSWP would then move to an island facility in the South. They were incredibly advanced, using their knowledge of computer technology, rockets, and weaponmaking. They have multiple bases across multiple planets, spanning vast distances. They were directly responsible for quelling the infestation of Dark Ones upon Luna Prime, as well as the death of the First Warden.

After the Jump
The House off Blades slowly reformed after the jump, as it returned to its old banner and colluded with the other houses during the time of the jump, and assisted in the colonization efforts. However, their practices and beliefs often clashed with the House of Crimson. The House of Blades began attempting to grab more power within society. This tension increased over time, which led to an internal conflict known as the Great Dissention. The House of Blades and House of Crimson fought with one another for months, resulting in a colonial failure.

After the Great Dissension
The House of Blades dissolved after the Great Dissension, with its leadership and infrastructure destroyed. The result of the conflict with the House or Crimson not only resulted in catastrophic colonial failure, but also scattered the rest of the Orevilleians, as many abandoned their Houses and settlements in favor of a nomadic lifestyle. Not only were lives lost, but countless artifacts, technology, and knowledge were lost with the destruction of the Houses.
