House Apydon of Archoria is one of the great houses of Pelegon and is the principal house of Arcazon. They rule as Kings of the Arcazon and Lord of Archoria, controlling a sizable portion of the historical Free Cities. Like many of the major houses of the Free Cities, House Apydon is Kardunashi in origin and many members are known to possess the white, grey, or Golden Eyes and grey or white hair of the Kardunashi people.
House Apydon is known for its practice of riding lobsters. The ancient Apydons learned the art of lobster husbandry from the Triton of the deep-sea realms. The Apydons and their commonfolk ride lobsters in lieu of horses, both in battle and in leisure. Lobster shells are also often worn as ceremonial armor, though the chitin is not as strong as metal so it only makes up for ornamentation on regular armor.
