“We build what others dream, and we dream of nothing but steel.”

House Miyakoshi is the sole noble lineage recognized by the Iron Crown, serving as hereditary masters of Xratinia’s mines, forges, and treasury.
If the royal family embodies the nation’s soul, Miyakoshi is its heartbeat — keeping the furnaces lit, the soldiers armed, and the economy breathing.
They are not aristocrats in luxury; they are industrial priests.
Every generation is raised to see the forge as both church and weapon.
Their motto is engraved above every mine entrance:
“The flame feeds all.”
Founded nearly a millennium ago by Daigo Miyakoshi, a foreign engineer from early Haven Reach who defected to serve the First King Aldros.
He designed the first Ore Mountains rail-refining system, enabling Xratinia to mass-produce alloyed armor faster than any neighbor.
For his service, Aldros granted him noble status and the eternal stewardship of the mines.
Their bloodline has since been considered “Tempered Noble,” not by divinity, but by contribution — each Miyakoshi must create something worthy of the Crown before they may inherit title.

Speech: Precise and low; pauses are considered punctuation of thought, not hesitation.
Dress: Blackened steel-weave coats, red-lined collars; family crest (a hammer wrapped in flame) always visible.
Custom: Every Miyakoshi must forge a personal tool before adulthood — weapon or instrument — to symbolize mastery of craft.
Belief: Innovation without discipline is treason.
Recited at every gathering before the central forge:
“We are the heat that bends the crown,
The smoke that feeds the sky.
We build, we burn, we bind —
So the flame may never die.”

Banner Colors: Black and Red with Platinum Trim — representing labor, sacrifice, and purity of result.
Bond: Symbiotic — the Crown commands, Miyakoshi builds.
Ritual: Once per year, the King and Lord Miyakoshi meet privately in the Hall of Cinders to renew the pact by tempering a single steel bar together.
The finished bar is split in two — half remains in the Palace, half in Forgehold.
Political Role: Miyakoshi representatives occupy three of ten Iron Council seats, giving them veto over industrial and technological policy.
Military Ties: The Steel Legion answers jointly to the Crown and the House during wartime.
Among citizens, House Miyakoshi is respected even more than loved.
Workers see them as “noble smiths,” not bureaucrats.
Their names are spoken in factories like prayers before risky work.
Common saying among miners:
“The King gives orders.
Miyakoshi gives purpose.”
“House Miyakoshi is what happens when an entire bloodline becomes a factory.
They don’t sleep — they calibrate.
They don’t eat — they refuel.
If Xratinia ever falls, it won’t be through battle.
It’ll be because the Miyakoshi stopped building.”
