House Kaigan

Though it does not have the long pedigree or the numbers of knights that many other houses can boast, House Kaigan hopes to carve a glorious reputation for itself in the chaos of the Ruins. Given the world of Xulvilia by the Jade General as the price for their fealty, they now give their strength to the Warriors of Peace, both as a part of the defence of the Domain and as an offensive mechanical fist.

Combat Doctrine
House Kaigan, following the traditions stemming from High Chief Xhychyt, are trained for fast and agile combat. They seek to outmanoeuvre their rival knights, getting in range to reign fire on them and then falling back when the enemy tries to get to grips with them. They mostly avoid melee combat, not willing to risk their valuable knights against heavier armoured enemies, preferring to lure them back towards the support of their imperial army allies.

Notable Characters

 * Sir and then High Chief Xhychyt, Black Arrow - Pilot of Galtsoyn, a Questoris Knight Styrix. The Legendary Freeblade’s origins have been lost, or hidden, from Imperial records. Some speculate that he refused a direct order from his King that would have seen him turn from defending a civilian area from an Ork horde, or perhaps that he stole the kill on an Eldar Wraithknight from his liege in House Draconis. Whatever the origins, it is known that the Black Arrow was seen fighting across the breadth of the Great Crusade against all sorts of foes. It was during these travels that he served alongside the Warriors of Peace, both before and after the Jade General’s discovery. The General, sensing Xhychyt as a potential ally due to his skill, made sure to cultivate the Freeblade. Xhychyt graciously accepted his favour, but still maintained his independence. It was only after the General was appointed governor of Segmentum Obscurus that Xhychyt saw the opportunity for an equally advantageous relationship. Now the High King of his own Knight Household, he still regularly joins campaigns, leading his court into battle at breakneck speeds.
 * Chief Jungdu - Pilot of Tsagaasar, an Acastus Knight Porphyrion
