House Fumbelsbottom! The famous name, of course, conjures familiar images: the peerless cruelty of its dames and sirs, the greedy luxury of the Boundless Banquet, the faithful hypocrisy of their worship... And now, the Peerage's auldest and noblest and lealest House is ready to take YOU into their midst!

Have you ever dreamed of wearing the finest rags? Of eating the best, most rotten victuals in the delightful company of the drug-addled, the criminally insane and the poor? Do you want to mock the Peerage, with a reflection of wickedness and idiocy? Would you perhaps feign madness to pursue your own criminal endeavours? How open are you to the delights of terrorism? Do you want to explore the lore of the Dogaressa, the secrets of the Drydocks?

Join TODAY! Every new retainer gets AT LEAST ONE noble title(1)! MORE if her Ladyship feels particularly whimsical!

(1)   New and old titles may be stripped or granted if Lady Fumbelsbottom is hungry, tired, lazy, cruel, dumb or awake.



//Quick summary to those that may be interested: House Fumbelsbottom is a parody-House that exists to mock and mess with the Peerage, and to give a little of representation to the lore of Dogaressa, one of my favourite gods in the setting.

Members of House Fumbelsbottom may join because they are mad, because they were harmed by Peers, because they want to use the cover of madness for their own ambitions or all three.

We have a little lair (thanks Bearic!) and the freedom to follow our dreams!

Themes: delusions of grandeur, carnival, parody, spite
Classes: Any. Though, honestly, paladins and monks are unlikely to /want/ to join.
Races: Any. Thematically good for fed-up non-humans.
Alignments: Non-lawful almost necessary. Chaotic fits best. Good not really recommended (too many spite-motivated actions!)

Examples of character concept:
-High General of the Demesne, Master of Coreography: a ranger with an alligator pet, dressed as a noble lady, who dances gracefully in Fumbelsbottom's Banquets.
-Cardinal of Rags and Riches: A priest of Dogaressa, who encourages rebellion and mockery, well-armed with fistfulls of rotten fruit.
-Castellan of the House, Totally Non-Fraudulent Master of Coin: A criminal who joins the House and feigns idiocy as a cover for to sell drugs/stolen property/contraband.
