House Mookjai, a stalwart banner house under the patronage of House Almern, has a rich history that reflects the cultural resilience and unwavering strength of the saltblood people. Emerged from the vibrant tapestry of the original saltblood sailors and their strong connections to the old gods, the Mookjai house has long been recognized for its dedication to preserving its unique heritage while navigating the tumultuous tides of war and politics.
Centuries ago, during the debates with the Saltblood captains about accepting Ethen Sedi's compromise, House Mookjai staunchly supported the deal of nobility for land, playing a crucial role in convincing many other less cultured elements of the armada. For their pivotal contribution, they were awarded a countship. Even as they embraced their newfound nobility, the Mookjai lineage did not sever their deep connection to the oceans. The Mookjai ancestors established themselves as revered navigators and skilled warriors, forging alliances with neighboring coastal communities and laying the groundwork for the house's enduring prominence, both within the Belllands and abroad.
House Mookjai's customs, rituals, and artistic expressions embody a harmonious blend of lost Esten and traditional saltblood influences, brought to life through vibrant festivals, blood sacrifices, intricate artwork, and spirited performances that honor the spirits of the sea and the earth. This dedication to preserving their cultural traditions has become a cornerstone of House Mookjai's identity, fostering a sense of unity and pride among its people. However, despite their loyalty to their liege House Almern, they harbor a growing sentiment that the Almern leadership has not done enough to uplift the saltblood people from their second-class citizen status.
Count A-wut Mookjai, a respected and insightful leader, has steered House Mookjai through tumultuous times, displaying both wisdom and strength in navigating the intricate webs of political intrigue. His unwavering commitment to upholding the cultural values and traditions of the saltblood people has earned him widespread admiration and respect within the community.
