Fables & Filth House Selection and Information

About the Fables & Filth Houses

The Fables & Filth Houses are part of our year-long community challenge, designed to bring a little friendly competition, chaos, and connection into the server.

Members can join one of five houses, earn points through participation, events, challenges, festival activities, reader engagement, author support, and general community involvement. At the end of the challenge, the house with the most points will be crowned the winner and receive a collection of prizes, rewards, and very dramatic bragging rights.

Your house is not based on what you read or write. Each house represents a different personality style, energy, and way of showing up in the Fables & Filth community.

Choose carefully. You may only join one house, and once selected, there is no changing.

Mythrae: The Dragons

Led by Serena, Mythrae is the house of imagination, ambition, creativity, and vision.

The Dragons are dreamers, builders, strategists, and storytellers. They are drawn to big ideas, impossible plans, and the kind of magic that turns chaos into something legendary. Mythrae members thrive on possibility, creativity, and the belief that every great thing begins as a wild idea.

Lunwraith: The Wolves

Led by Skyee, Lunwraith is the house of loyalty, instinct, protection, and pack-minded strength.

The Wolves are dependable, intuitive, and fiercely supportive. They are the ones who stand beside their people, notice when something feels off, and bring quiet strength to the community. Lunwraith members value trust, connection, and the kind of loyalty that does not need to be loud to be powerful.

Starvyn: The Phoenix

Led by Meghan, Starvyn is the house of curiosity, originality, discovery, and bold creative chaos.

The Phoenix are adventurous, eccentric, inventive, and unafraid to stand out. They bring fresh ideas, strange brilliance, and playful energy wherever they go. Starvyn members are natural explorers, always ready to try something new, rise from the ashes, and make the unexpected unforgettable.

Obsidra: The Manticores

Led by Anna, Obsidra is the house of intensity, resilience, passion, and devotion.

The Manticores are fierce, loyal, emotionally powerful, and unafraid of depth or challenge. They do not back down easily, and they are built for the fire. Obsidra members value strength, honesty, courage, and the kind of devotion that survives even the darkest moments.

Evergloom: The Foxes

Led by Elizabeth, Evergloom is the house of mystery, strategy, patience, and quiet power.

The Foxes are observant, clever, thoughtful, and often see what others miss. They do not need to be the loudest in the room to leave an impression. Evergloom members value perception, timing, hidden depth, and the ability to move with purpose while everyone else is still trying to understand the game.
