House Blue Dog

Badge: (Fieldless) A talbot sejant contourny azure collared Or. House Blue Dog began in the near reaches of history, in the once great Shire of Cragmere and now Hartwood (Insula Magna, Principality of Tir Righ, northern reaches of the Kingdom of An Tir). The principals were Kjartan kráka and Doireann Dechti with their Norse influence of hospitality and generosity, and Halima al-Rakkasa with the Arabic influence of hospitality and education. The household tenets became: hospitality, teaching, and merchanting. Merchanting has been our way to deal with the many items we create, so much being based on history; by extension, we are also a household of creaters, makers, and artists. The Talbot, a dog, was chosen for it's friendly demeanor, and helpfulness to all those with kind hearts. Blue because... heraldry! The badge is held jointly by Kjartan kráka and Doireann Dechti.
