The Great House of RHOADD
History
If memory serves correctly, The Great House of RHOADD was formed in the late 90s after the late Sir Dietrich Kempenich von Eltz was teasing the founder: Sir Corwin von Xanten, that "his boys looked like a bunch of Road Warriors". Referring to the second film in the Mad Max franchise because most of their armor was piecemealed together from bits of scrap, street signs, and used football pads. Rather than take it as an insult, Sir Corwin leaned into it replying "Yessss, we are the Warriors of RHOADD." As his squires started fighting in and winning tournaments, their brothers could be heard on the sidelines yelling out with pride: RHOADD! This may also be the reason RHOADD is always spelled in All Caps. Soon after the Household was created and began it's expansion, eventually encompassing warriors from across the Kingdom.
RHOADD is a fun loving household that earned a reputation of fighting hard and partying harder, sometimes boisterous and lacking decorum, but always in a jovial manner. Top contenders for the House Motto are "I do what I WANT!" and "All Your Base are Belong to Us."
