Title: Native PCs - Family NPCs
Post by: Nox on March 25, 2013, 11:18:47 AM
Attention Mistdwellers!  This space is reserved for Native PCs to list significant characters from their background and can/will be used by DMs in an attempt to enrich the setting.  Native PCs offer a unique opportunity in that they are from the areas we play in and unlike Outlanders, who have been ripped from their homes and families, Natives have a lingering background that can be used to enhance our storytelling.  If this were PnP this would be a resource we could draw on, so as an experiment we're going to try and compile a list of potential NPCs we can use to populate our adventures who have some ties to current native PCs.  If you play a Native PC and want to list some significant characters from your characters background, this is the place.  Who knows, you might see them in game or have a plot revolve around them.

Anyways, there will be some ground rules here, we don't want to bog this down:


By submitting an NPC, you are agreeing to and understanding that:


If you understand and agree to all of the above, please C&P the following for every viable NPC you want to include.

PC Name: Gavril Arcos

NPC Name: Petru and Daciana Arcos, Carina Vulpescu
Relation to PC: Parent's
NPC Location : Krofburg

Describe the NPC :

Petru - was formerly a garda of Vallaki until he moved his family to the village of krofburg after the death of his youngest child Luminita who was trampled by a horse. A Stern man with a rigid sense of honor who excels at the use of the Halberd due to it being something of a family tradition for fathers to train the men of the Arcos line with the weapon. He now works as a grizzled old warrior alongside his peers as a Krofburg garda. He and his Son have something of a strained relationship for a number of reasons, most recently having arranged a marriage for Gavril which ended badly.

Daciana
Is a Rope maker that has a somewhat protective nature over the men of her family, often placing herself between them when the two would quarrel. It's said she is known to make all manner of meals with the ample supply of goat meat and goat milk that saturates the small village even trying out extremely unorthodox recipes. Whether this is out of creativity or boredom is left up to interpretation however. Her Rope's are said to be well made and fulfill a basic need that the small village has.

Carina - Carina was formerly Gavril's wife of seven years having been roped into a marriage with the large man that was arranged by their fathers. She was an unfaithful wife who in the end ran away with a rich vineyard owners son causing something of a scandal in the small village.

Relation to PC: The man who called himself 'father' to a handful of girls under his employment. Scarlet's previous boss.

Describe the NPC: An overweight and greedy man in his mid fifties, Emilian owns a tiny and run down 'club' in the slums of Vallaki. While he says 'club', what goes on behind closed doors is all but public knowledge. The girls were abused and treated poorly, to the point where it was more of an ownership than a proper job. Too afraid to try and leave, they accept their existance and go on with life as usual. Scarlet however did not, and after making her escape changed her name, and her appearance.

Scarlet has a deep grudge against this man, and any man like him. She'd be more than happy to see his end.

Describe The NPC:

 Sarina and Orthello share a close bond to eachother, albeit some heavy differences. Being a devotee to the Morninglord Sarina often spends much of her time in prayer in the morninglord temple within vallaki. She has a reputable hatred for -varja- and undead, often saying she will one day pick  up a weapon and fight such, yet she has never gotten the nerve to do so instead being the simple merchant she is. She and her brother Orthello recently had an argument in which orthello struck her (and regrets it dearly) over her zealous faith to the morninglord. He inquires that her zeal will be the death of her and since then has not spoken to her since and ignores her whenever they see eachother. Her main reason for her faith is because of her love for a morninglordian alcolyte named Ivan Bedrilui who Orthello hates with a passion and can often be heard muttering about the blithering idiot.

The alcolyte truly does mean good and truly does love Orthello's sister but he like her has a zealous hate for undead and has often spoke about his desire to hunt the evil forces, in which though he knows he endangers Sarina would love for her to accompany him so that they may bring -glory- to the morninglord together.

NPC Location : Port-á-Lucine

Describe the NPC : A Nobleman who once held minor political power in Chateaufaux and used his position to force himself on numerous women of the peasantry instilling fear of legal ramifications should any of them decide to 'Talk'. Rémi's mother being one of his unfortunate victims. She had never told her son he was a product of rape though did warn him to be wary of Gérard, confessing the wrong's he had done to her when Rémi was but a boy. Rémi always operated under the assumption that the man who inflicted this malice on his mother and his father were two different people. they are not. Gérard is a typical member of the gentry, arrogant and narcissistic thinking himself beyond reproach and having no regrets to the various ill's he's afflicted over the years, likely thinking he has some rights to do such given his high birth.  He eventually left Chateaufaux and Moved to port-á-Lucine for reasons unknown.


NPC Name: Claudette Durand
Relation to PC: Mother

Describe the NPC :  Claudette Durand made the decision to keep her baseborn child and came to resent it not long after it was born, having little material wealth and no trades to speak of she was forced into the oldest profession, selling her body in exchange for coin. As her son grew older and became more independent she became increasingly detached from him and fell to the use of opium developing an addiction to the substance which saw her further estranged from her young son though they shared the same living space, at some point in his late teens she disappeared and her whereabouts remain unknown to Rémi, though he often tells people she's dead.

PC Name: Constance Sèverin

NPC Name: François Sèverin (Age: 33)
Relation to PC: Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine

Description: Ten years ago, Constance and her family heard the gang François was part of had been wiped out entirely by bounty hunters. Since then, Constance has assumed her brother dead. They both came from what would be the closest to a middle class Port-a-Lucine has. François became part of a gang in the Quartier Ouvrier largely due to boredom, but became increasingly active in that gang as time went on. My concept for him for the present is that he escaped the bounty hunter assault, and seeing the chance, cut all ties with him family, letting them believe him dead in order to rise up further in the ranks of Port-a-Lucine's underworld.

I'm seeing quite a few NPC relatives that are living in areas that aren't in the Module.  Please refer to the guidelines on page 1.  Remember, this is to build a reservoir of NPCs for the DM staff to use if they should so please to add atmosphere to the server.  We can't use them if they're in areas we have yet to build.

PC Name: Charlemagne Devereaux

I may run over a hundred words with these, but I will try to make it concise and make key points.

NPC Name: Genevieve ??????  (Last name likely changed)
Relation to PC:  Ex-wife
NPC Location:  Somewhere in Dementlieu

Describe the NPC:  She and Charlemagne married at a very young age as was common of the working class in Chateaufaux.  She was fourteen, he was sixteen, and they had a whirlwind relationship for the first year of marriage.  Her family disapproved of the marriage and eventually stopped supplementing their income, which forced Charlemagne to give up his childhood dream of being a magician and get a real job at Clerque and Verbois carriage manufacturers, where he had to work sixteen hour days and never got to spend time with his family.  The young woman's heart was won over by a young man of minor nobility she met at the market, who could both provide for and spend leisure time with the young woman and her daughter.  One day while Charlemagne was at work, she left with him, never to look back.


NPC Name:  Colette ?????? (Last name likely changed)
Relation to PC: Daughter
NPC Location:  Somewhere in Dementlieu

Describe the NPC:  Colette never really knew her father.  At the age of two, her mother took her, and left Charlemagne for a man she was having an affair with.   They moved from Chateaufaux to Port au Lucine with her new husband.  After he lost his wife and child, he quit his job at Clerque and Verbois to travel the world with a dual purpose.  He pursued his childhood dream, traveling the country as a masked magician to hopefully, someday, find his family in a crowd at one of his performances.  While he no longer cares for his ex-wife, he misses his daughter terribly.  She has her father's light brown hair and hazel eyes.  She also had freckles as a young child, but might have outgrown them.  She would be eight years old now.  


NPC Name:  ??????
Relationship to PC:  Loving husband and excellent father to his ex wife and daughter
NPC Location:  Somewhere in Dementlieu

Describe the NPC:  The son of landed nobles.  This mystery man owns a horse farm, where he, Genevieve, and Colette live happily, having forgotten the rough times they lived with a man who could barely provide for them and never got to see them.  This NPC is practical, good with money, and a kind and loving soul.  He is also very handsome, charismatic, and physically strong.  This man truly cares for both Genevieve and Colette and would sooner die than lose either of them.

He regrets marrying an outlander and is embarrassed by her accent, so he has forbidden her from going out in public or speaking to anyone. He physically abuses her, (as well as other kinds of abuse.) He is a proud, controlling man who has kept his wife hidden for nearly three years, to protect his reputation and standing in the Garda.

Ilinca has been searching for him for years, with no luck.

PC Name: Olivier Larue


NPC Name: Vasiliy Lagounov
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Unknown

NPC Description:
Vasiliy is a full-blooded Vistana from the Corvara Tribe. He would be best described as a middle-aged man with dark features, an olive complexion and a typical Boemian morality. Around 752 B.C. Vasiliy seduced a young lady from Dementlieu's upper class as part of a con. He made off with a share of her family's wealth, leaving the young woman (Olivier's mother) behind with an unwanted pregnancy. The Vistani had packed up and moved on long before anyone realised what had truly transpired, so whether Vasiliy ever learned of his child's existence is unclear. So are his current whereabouts.

-----The Holzknecht Family-----

Little is known of the Holzknecht family's past, as life in Falkovnia has crushed underfoot much desire to continue the family lines history.  The only ones who may know would be the government of Falkovnia itself, and their census takers.

Relation: Mother
Location: Aerie
Age: Late forties
Description: A woman, who in her prime, could be considered beautiful.  In another life, perhaps she could have achieved great things, but years of toil and hardship have left her a hardened heart.  She speaks nothing of her past, and any who ask would receive a zealous rebuttal.  Any mention of the father of her youngest would receive a similar response.

Age: 30
Description: A stout man, clad often in his chainmail prison guards uniform.  He takes his job quite seriously, and gloats about his torturous activities he and his friends commit on a day to day basis.  He disappeared around the same time Dietrich fled Falkovnia for the outside world.  He loved his brother deeply, despite being a bastard.

PC Name: Dietrich Holzknecht
Relation: Bastard Son
Location: Dementlieu, prior Silbervas
Age: 28
Description: A man who clearly sports none of the features of his brothers father.  Handsome, in a hardened way.  An early life of trouble making earned him the scars of the scourge upon his back.  He holds an extreme hatred for the Falkovnian government, and everyone who supports it.  He hated his half brother for his evil ways.

~~~House Rozycki~~~
(http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a519/herkles2/rozylki_zpsmzuc9jlr.png)

Motto: Sound the Charge
Lord: House Vistins
Rivals: House Ciesinski

House Rozycki are a vassal house to the Vistins, One of the five great Families in Nova Vaasa. They are often mocked as “jumped-up merchants” and similar insults for their power and influence comes not from an ancient house but from being a business of horse breeders for the Vistins Family. They have an infamous, heated and ugly rivalry with the Ciesinski House, another family of horse breeders. The two families loathe each other immensely. It hasn't helped that they have repeatedly tried to kill each other, tried to ruin each other's name, tried to harm each other's horses, tried to destroy each other's bussiness. On one or two occasions affairs have occurred between the two families. The fact they haven't gone to open war is due to the fact that neither family is committed to war, and war would bring the Prince's wrath upon them, something they do not want. They are also both sworn to the Vistins, which also keeps them in line.

The family lands are near the city of Bergovitsa where they often sell some of the horses they don't provide for the Vistins. Krzysztof was born the third son of the Rozycki family.


NPC Name: Mikaal Rozycki
Relation to PC: Father and head of the Household
Location:Bergovitsa
Description: The patriarch of the household. Mikaal is a stern man, a man who is said to rarely smile. He is a ruthless politician. He knows very well his status, but he has a keen eye for and is on the look out to for opportunities that can gain prestige, money, and glory for himself and his families. He does love his wife and children though he rarely shows it. He rules with an iron hand over his family and house. Though on occasion he has shown his kind side towards those closest to him.


NPC Name: Kataryna Rozycki née Fredskild
Relation to PC: Mother
Location:Bergovitsa
Description: The mother of the Rozycki children married into the family not for love but for politics. She has grown in time to love her husband and especially her children. She would do anything for them. That said she married also to have some of the wealth of the family. She enjoys the finer things in life. She is quite greedy, yet in spite or perhaps because of that, she focuses on making sure that the family's business side is successful and profitable.

NPC Name: Krzesimir
Relation to PC: Eldest Brother
Location: Bergovitsa
Description: Krzesimir: The heir of the family and he knows it. He has been raised from birth as the little lordling whom will be the head of the family. He has never shied away from letting any of his siblings know this status. Of all the family members, he is the most martial. He is a skilled musketeer, easily using both sword or Muskeet upon horse back.  Despite this as both Krysztof and Krzesimir knew their places in the family, they came to a mutual understanding of each other. Krysztof has long known that he would never inherit but he has applied his own skills for the benefit. Which has made the two allies. His recent marriage to his long time friend Józefina helps solidify his place as the lord of the family, and the birth of his son, Stefan, has given him an heir and further solidify his hold as heir of the Family

NPC Name: Józefina Rozlyki nee Olszewska
Relation to PC: Sister-in-law
Location:Bergovitsa
Description: Krzesimir's wife. The eldest daughter of the Olszewska family, another minor family that married Józefina off for a political alliance. Józefina and Krezsimir do seem to care for each other. There are rumors that they had a long affair before their marriage and that this was to provide the families something to benefit from two love-birds; which has some merit as they have been long time friends. Others whisper that she was already pregnant and the marriage was to prevent a scandal. She presents herself as a kind and proper noble-woman, and while some of that is not a mask; she is much more power-hungry and ambitious then she is kind. A few months after the marriage, she gave birth to a son, Stefan.

NPC Name: Stefan
Relation to PC: Nephew
Location:Bergovitsa
Description: Stefan is a young boy of four years of age. He is the son of Józefina and Krzesimir. 

NPC Name: Szymon
Relation to PC: older brother/ lawgiver priest
Location: Bergovitsa
Description: Szymon is the second brother. A stern and zealous man, it is of no surprise then that he entered the Lawgiver's clergy. Since entering the clergy he has risen to the rank of Dommer and is preparing to become a biskop. Despite his zeal, he does use his position to help the family and most importantly himself. Of all the members of House Rozycki though, Szymon is the one least interested in the Ciesinski-Rozycki feud. The fact that he did have an affair with a young lady of the Ciesinski is one of the reasons; after the affair was broken up he became the stern man that he is today. Szymon and Krzyzstof do not get along much. Krzyzstof while religious, is no where near the pious man that Szymon is and his brother constantly chastises him about that when they visit.

NPC Name: Jadwiga Rozycki
Relation to PC: Twin sister
Location:Bergovitsa
Description:  Of all the Rozlyki children, Jadwiga is the most cunning, the most political, She could easily lead the family if she was not born a woman. She knows very well the place of a lady within the politics of Nova Vaasa.  Despite that she is a strong willed and passionate woman; often being refered to by others as the Rødbuge of Rozycki which she regards as a strong compliment.  Jadwiga and Krzysztof have a strong bond and close bond and friendship; Partially because they are twins and Partially because they both know that to get anywhere in life brains and intellegence are the most important aspect.

NPC Name:Beau Savu [Deceased]
Relation to PC:Father
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:A descendant from an outlander halfling coupling with a local halfling, this man holds a blend of features from both bloodlines. Rich dark hair sits atop his head, while light pale flesh covers the rest of him. His dark brown eyes show his age, along with the many wrinkles he has accumulated around his tired eyes. While not remarkable in any way, the stout man has prided himself on being an upstanding figure of his village. Never getting into trouble and always being as humble as possible.

Having lost his family young, and his home in a fire that seemed to destroy nearly everything and everyone in the home. Very little was left by the fire, bodies too badly burned to have any idea what may have occurred. Much of the property gone, left with nothing in his youth Beau was forced to seek out work elsewhere. This is how he and Crina met, he became a hired hand to till the fields by her family. Over time the two became friendly, and then closer till a proposal was offered and accepted.


(http://i.imgur.com/QjXKLvl.png)
NPC Name: Crina Savu
Relation to PC:Mother.
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:A mother of three, and a faithful wife. Crina has lived in the village of Barovia all her life. Crina is a simple woman of simple means, though should someone look beyond the mundane life they would begin to find eerie unexplained mysteries around the woman's family line. No one is quite sure when the Savu's arrived, but the Savu's seem to keep to themselves. Nothing seemed to stand out, other than they gave off an odd feeling and rarely engaged with the rest of the village. Over time the family became increasingly more public as the members of the family got older.

Crina is a woman seeming devoted to her children. Ever keeping a watchful eye over them, quick to put them back in line. She has seemed to raise them under strict tutelage and a work ethic. Making her children earn their place in their home to the best of their abilities. Either in tending the crops or the house itself.

NPC Name:Mihai Savu
Relation to PC:Oldest Sibling (Brother)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:While his looks seem taken from his mother he does not seem to share his mother's or father's simple humble nature. The young man seems caught in perpetual anger. Often found releasing his ever-present rage in the fields or around the farm. A habit that has given him a form that any would desire to possess. Rarely seen away from the farm the young man seems of few words, and less sociable than a feral wolf. Despite the ever-present look of rage in his eyes, he seems fiercely protective of his family and their farm. Some rumor of him taking down a worg with just his hands, leaving the creature behind with its lower jaw broken and its head twisted to an unnatural angle.

(http://i.imgur.com/pyXDcZr.png)
NPC Name:Lucian Savu
Relation to PC:Middle Sibling (Brother)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:Lucian seems to favor his father in both appearance and personality. Always easy-going and relatively happy. Lucian seems far lankier and rather clumsy in comparison to his strapping brother and well-built father. Lucian seems far more interested in the women of his village, very often making a fool of himself in his pursuit of love. His relatively good looks seem to make him easy enough on the eyes, but his youthful awkwardness has made him fit in well with the village. Most seem to get along and enjoy the young man as well as can be expected.

(http://i.imgur.com/dr70Ewf.png)
NPC Name:Draguta Hagi [Deceased]
Relation to PC:Grandmother of Sorts (live in help)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:A haggard elderly destitute barovian women. While this halfling woman may of once been pretty, it is hard to tell. The years have been rather unkind to her, stealing her sight almost completely and leaving her partially crippled. This woman is lucky to of lived as long as she had or perhaps owes much to those who were kind enough to take her in and keep her well-fed and safe from the night. With little to offer, she made her way to care for the children of the house. While her body may have failed her, her mind was stronger than ever, spinning tales of such wonder and interest that the children never seem bored for very long. The age in her voice seemed almost hypnotic when she spun tales, drawing in even the children's parents at times as they all sat close to the home's hearth.  The source of her tales seems to stem from a life lived in wonder. Confessing she was once a great adventurer. The source of her many physical ailments. The elderly woman seemed to share all her knowledge with the children. Schooling them in a sense, a prospect both parents seemed most fond of. Even in the early ages of each child, each showed an aptitude for knowledge. Learning speaks clearly and coherently while other children struggled to grasp words. Learning the usefulness of the local fauna, as well as maps and how to tell direction. Even how to properly skin a kill and tend the hide so it could be sold for coin.


Points of Interest:
* Despite the family's apparent humble kindness, all three siblings would seem very estranged and cold with one another. Even while growing up together.
* Shortly after the birth of their third child, the Savus took on a border. An odd elderly woman dressed in black rags who had nowhere else to go. Seeming to pay her way with watching the children while their mother and father worked the land.

PC Name: Niklaus Von Burkhart

NPC Name: Johanna Von Burkhart (born: Gisler)
Relation to PC: Wife
NPC Location: Deceased (alleged) - unknown

Describe the NPC: To hear Niklaus describe Johanna is to get the image of an angel, and the biased opinion of her widower is not too far off.  Johanna was a beautiful woman, with hair of gold and eyes like the clearest skies. As a lower class citizen it was a surprise to everyone when Niklaus took her hand in marriage. Some who remember her say she spoke with a voice of honey, and her singing was second to none.  She is believed to have died in the inferno that engulfed the Von Burkhart home, consuming her body. Her death was a shock to the community.

NPC Name: Conrad Von Burkhart
Relation to PC: Son
NPC Location: Deceased - Buried on the Von Burkhart family plot on the coast of Lamordia

Describe the NPC: Conrad passed at the age of twelve. In life he was rambunctious and every bit as curious about the world as his father is.  They say Conrad has his father's nose and jaw, but his mother's eyes.  At the age of ten young Conrad came down with an unknown illness which began to eat away at the lining of his muscles. At the age of eleven the disease accellerated and began to deteriorate the boy's bones. Every day of life was agony.  Many think it was his son's suffering that drove Niklaus into seclusion.  The boy's charred, mutilated body was found after the flames in the Von Burkhart home had finally been snuffed out. His remains were found in the charred out husk of a laboratory in the basement of the home.

NPC Name: Berthold Von Burkhart
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Bedridden in Ludendorf, Lamordia

Describe the NPC: Berthold is a proud man. In his youth he was a brilliant mind, but old age has dulled his wits substantially. While his memory begins to fail him, he is attended to by his second son. The loss of Johanna and Conrad broke the old man's heart, and despite his withering health, he still visits Conrad's grave every week. There, it is said, he weeps and begs Conrad to forgive Niklaus.

NPC Name: Berthold Von Burkhart II
Relation to PC: Brother (Younger)
NPC Location: Ludendorf, Lamordia

Describe the NPC: Berthold junior is the spitting image of his father.  He is tall, well built, and devilishly handsome.  Where his brother was gifted with intelligence, Berthold was gifted with a quick wit and a silver tongue.  Combining his family's penchant for the medical with his own mercantile skills, Berthold has build himself a nice life selling remedies and herbal concoctions.  Some whisper that he is nothing more than a snake oil salesman, but yet others swear his curatives have saved lives.

House Sallembier are minor nobles within Dementlieu, holding the title of the Baron of Granthe, which lies in the south of the republic along lake Sebastian. Many of of the men also hold title of Chevalier as well. The family was known and still is known for two things: their piety and Support of the Church of Ezra, and their support of learning. They were patronizers of both. Supporting both chapels to Ezra and Libraries of various subjects. They remain strong supporters of education and of the faith to this day; including the university of Dementlieu.

When the revolution of 770 happened they supported the council of Brilliance over Foquelaine or the revolutionaries. While they remained quiet during the Foquelaine reign, they did what they could to protect others from his goons quietly. Those who might have been targets they kept safe. The house survived that chaos to meet the fires of the revolution.

As they were nobles, the revolutionaries targeted them. Like all nobles, the house was stripped of its lands and titles. The revolution during their bloodier moments brought up some of their members for execution. Any support they may have had for things to get better died with the mass executions, especially when Antoinette was executed. Antoinette, the younger sister of Clarisse, even though she did try to help others and was a kind woman, the revolutionaries executed her nonetheless.

When Falkovinia invaded the family offered to fight against the invading hawks. Claude being the foremost of the members to volunteer to fight. In addition to fighting, they made the decision to back Helene DuSuius and Dominic as they restored power. This brought the restoration of their lands and titles was given to Gaspard, elevating the family as a whole.

~~ House Voclain ~~
(https://i.gyazo.com/96553a74602a6c1e49dcd56cb13c4d81.jpg)

Motto: "Nul n'est si sage", trans. "None Are So Wise"

House Voclain are a relatively new house, having bought their way into the gentry with the large sums of money earned by trading in spices such as cloves, nutmeg, and garlic. Too unimportant to have been made a target of either revolutionaries or more influential noble families, the members of House Voclain managed to avoid meeting an ignoble end in the uprising of 770 BC. They emerged from that ordeal more or less unscathed, somehow. Instead, the family found itself dealing with a different kind of calamity altogether, one having to deal with a reversal of fortunes in the realm of finance and commerce. Will things change, with Anselme as the family's new patriarch? Only time shall tell.



NPC Name:  Ernest Voclain
Relation to PC: Father, and former head of the household
Location: Six feet under
Description: A spice merchant of some renown, Ernest would be cited as the man who put the Voclains on the map, having made a considerable amount of wealth via the spice trade, enough to buy himself and his family a place among the gentry. Unfortunately, Ernest became afflicted with dementia as he grew more advanced in age yet retained his leadership of the household, leading to a host of poor investments on his part. These poor investments would cause Ernest to borrow massive amounts of coin from his relatives, who would later harangue him constantly over paying them back. Although his son Anselme mortgaged their property and managed to pay off the debts his father owed, it is hard to say as to whether or not the family shall recover from such heavy financial losses.

NPC Name: Hortense Voclain
Relation to PC: Aunt
Location: Chateaunoir
Description: One of the many creditors Ernest borrowed from, Anselme regards this woman as being a 'shrill harpy', with 'all the likeness of the mythical medusae haunting the island of Demise'. Needless to say that although the debts she was owed have been paid, the two of them do not get along very well.

NPC Name:  Marceline Voclain
Relation to PC: Mother
Location: Dominia
Description: Marceline was involuntarily committed by Ernest shortly after having Anselme, and for this reason Anselme knows little to nothing about her, who she was, or why she was committed. She spent some time in Chateaufaux's asylum, but was eventually transferred to Dr. Heinfroth's asylum on the island of Dominia, because it was believed the world-renowned physician could help her better than Dr. Wilhelm Mikki ever could. How a meeting with his mother would go is anyone's guess.

NPC Name: Sorin Lacusta (Aged 50)
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Krofburg, Barovia.
Description: A hardy man, Sorin is the head of the Lacusta family and their goat produce business. Sorin started the business and set up trade with Vallaki. Under his guidance, it has grown. They trade their milk, cheese and meat across Barovia, and even as far as Nova Vaasa.

NPC Name: Florica Lacusta (Aged 44)
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Krofburg, Barovia.
Description: This wise and worldly woman married Sorin at a young age, as is Barovian custom, but worked to match her husband's drive for business. Her own father served in the Krofburg Militia, and taught her how to use a shortsword, which is a skill she passed on to Ecaterina.

NPC Name: Gregor, Pavel and Anghel Lacusta (Aged 25)
Relation to PC: Brothers (triplets)
NPC Location: Krofburg, Barovia.
Description: Ecaterina's brothers are just over five years older than her, so she grew up used to roughhousing and boyish games. Gregor is the cleverest of the three brothers, and handles the administration of their business (a position he took over from Ecaterina when she left for the garda). Pavel and Anghel provide the brawn and manpower, wrangling the goats and preparing the bulk of their produce. All three of them can be given to teasing their younger sister, but it is done out of love.

A dockworker of 45 years with hair long gone grey, Stanislaw is a rather average barovian man. While he does not necessarily drink his entire income away, he certainly is on a downward spiral towards alcoholism and with this his violent streak increases. He disapproves of Liliana joining the cult of the Morninglord but has, not for the least part since the young woman has developed some strength of herself, stopped attempting to "beat sense" into her.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):
Traian is a 19 year old in the last year of his apprenticeship. He is kinder then his brother and father, having taken more after his mother in her earlier years.

Relation to PC: Younger sister
NPC Location: Vallaki Slums

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):
Elena is a girl of 14 and like Liliana herself and Traian of a more cheerful persuasion. She is the only family member who truely believes the cult is the right place for her sister to be.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Valeriu's father is one of the last of the Caragiale family; one which claims some lineage of renown, but with the passage of time and lack of records the dwindling proof of their prior deeds are lost to time. For the last three generations the Caragiale family has declined, their focuses inclined towards trade and Andrei is no different. With his son departing from the family business and recent times bringing upheaval to their trade dealings, Andrei and his wife Elena have moved from Zeidenburg to Berez, for a simpler life.

NPC Name: Isabella Karela
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Here, there, and elsewhere; with her caravan.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Isabella is a radiantly beautiful Vistana and a talented violinist, though her skill is spent on the sorrowful, bitter strains of the Corvara. Met Mihai when her caravan passed Vallaki; they had a brief tryst, producing Stefan.

Relation to PC: Father

Her marriage to Mihai is loveless and cold, and the man is cowed by her.

NPC Name: Vasile Sobolescu
Relation to PC: Half-Brother (Younger)
NPC Location: Vallaki - Docks District

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Stefan's youngest brother spent most of his youth moving from illness to illness. He's a soft man, now, easily frightened and controlled by Ioana or Dimitry.

-------------------------------------------------------------

NPC Name: Dimitry Sobolescu
Relation to PC: Half-Brother (Younger)
NPC Location: Vallaki - Docks District

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Dimitry takes after the best traits of Mihai, though has inherited the malice of Ioana. He is a sturdy, vital Barovian man, taking to the pursuits of a woodsman with glee. He takes any other work he can find, as well, which has landed him in trouble from time to time. Shares his mother's disposition towards Stefan, though a facial scar he bears from their last confrontation gives him pause.

PC Name: Verinne van Haute

NPC Name: Crespin van Haute
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Ste. Ronges, Richemulot

Describe the NPC:

This man is now in his mid-fifties, his expression often haggard and weary, wracked by guilt. Once upon a time, he was a part of one of Richemulot's most prestigious watch companies, the Soleils Craimoisi. However, as a result of Verinne's mother seemingly abandoning them both when she was just a little girl, he turned to the bottle and never bothered to crawl out. His alcoholism caused him to be dismissed dishonorably from Soleils Craimoisi, and kept him from holding a steady job for years. Verinne had to support them both, leading her to the unsavory work she was once known for.

Seemingly both sober and gainfully employed, he remains wracked by guilt over his daughter's disappearance, believing he failed her. He continues to hold out hope she's out there, somewhere.

Her current whereabouts and status both remain unknown, and Verinne has thought very little of her mother and her possible fate.

Describe the NPC: Philip Viray was a common man born to a line of fishermen in Ste. Luciennes. In his early adulthood, he took up what little savings he had and went off to adventure the Core and the known world - in his travels, he was a proponent of helping those in need around him and espousing a derivative of the ideals of the Pureheart Ezrites of Mordent.

Eventually, after many years and hardships, he decided to settle down with a woman he met on his travels, leaving his vows behind for the sake of family.

During the days of the Revolution, Trudi Viray was dragged out of her family home, then brutalized and killed in the wheat fields surrounding the farm by looters and brigands, while her husband was in the town for market and her children off at play.

Antoinette was left without a source of income and with growing debt, becoming a courtesan and eventually dying of syphilis in late 773 B.C., having estranged herself from the local Ezrite congregation with her work, and the pills of mercury from the Docteur not quite saving her.

Quote
Georges Deschamps
Father
Mortigny - Richemulot

58 year old industrial merchant. Born dementlieuse, he moved to Richemulot for it's class permeability and married a local woman in Mortigny. He is intelligent and loves his children equally, but expressed this in his very high expectations to their respective skills, pushing them to ambition and a better life since an early age. He indebted himself to the Lavigny family for 20.522 scandals and to the maison des Cent Papillons for 120.000 scandals to pay for their respective educations, before his weavery business failed.

Quote
Cecile La Berche
Sister
Port-A-Lucine - Dementlieu

27 year old classical beauty. She inherited her looks and temperament from the dementlieuse side of the family and is moderately clever. She spent much more time at home with her parents while Felise was at the maison des Cent Papillons for her arcane education. She despises Felise for being their father's "favourite" because he paid so much more for her schooling. Cecile was expected to play her socialite skills well and save the weavery through a beneficial marriage into a minor dementlieuse noble house in the dye trade; the marriage was a success but instead of saving the weavery, Cecile moved to Port-A-Lucine with her husband.

Quote
Thibaud Engels
Husband
Mortigny - Richemulot

42 year old barbier. Though diligent and talented in his field, he is indebted to the Lavigny family for 44.695 scandals in living costs and supplies of trade. A traditional man struggling to find a wife up to his mid-thirties due to his debt, he married Felise out of desire to sire a son and have a seemly family. He considers her mouthy. He was the only one to take her off her father's pocket after his business went bankrupt.

Quote
Jacques Engels
Son
Mortigny - Richemulot

8 years old. His parents sold him into the debt to the Lavigny family as a stable boy in exchange for Felise's permission to work elsewhere. Since his parents worked at the noble's court for as long as he could remember, the change in his life was merely formal – he considers the court's cook and the stablemaster more of a family than Felise and Thibaud.

NPC Name: Luann Eslinger
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Nartok, Darkon. Eslinger Manor.

A gregarious woman who often keeps her knowledge at hearts length, Luann has ever been a mystery in the eyes of her community. Numerous rumors abound about her supposed hobbies, and as rumors go, many aren't too kind due to the way she keeps her private life barred to most, even her own daughter. The most striking of these rumors is the fact that she has never been married.  Not once.  Yet, one day, she began to show.  And in time?  She was immensely gravid with her first and only child. During these days, a young woman had visited the Eslinger Manor on a weekly basis. Considering the two's overly fond reactions to one another, the rumors only continued.

As Beve grew older, Luann pressured the young Eslinger to learn the Arcane, and so set her on the path by tutoring her with a local arcanist. Later, she would see her daughter off on a caravan bound for Demeneltieu, to learn from Port-au-Lucine's arcane "scientists." It all came together quickly, lending her daughter to believe she was sent away for a reason.

Residing in Charbonne, Dementlieu

The old baron of the small demesne town of Charbonne. He is the reclusive head of the de la Rochenoire family, hardly interested in communicating with other nobles after the controversies done by his predecessor, Guillaume de la Rochenorie. His only interest is to maintain his family holdings and assure that it survives. His obsession to his family’s success has come with the pressure for his heirs to marry and provide the family with children. When Balthazar was wed to Valentine Bonacieux, the pair were stressed to provide an heir, for his older brothers had been incapable of doing such at the time.

Sylvie de la Rochenoire née Mercier
Mother

A woman of similar years to her aged husband, Baron de la Rochenoire. She is a skilled painter and noblewoman from a minor family. She is the mother of five of the Baron’s children. She is a polite, creative and calm woman. Balthazar has always been closer to his mother than with his father, preferring her talents over the family’s industrious side.

Augustin de la Rochenoire
Older Brother
Residing in Charbonne, Dementlieu

The middle-aged Augustin has adopted Bernard’s industrious side, however resents what he calls his father’s “inaction”, criticizing his reclusive nature. Balthazar and Augustin do not share any interests nor do they interact much, the pair only accepting one another’s existence. Currently Augustin is married to Claire Brosseau and has a son called Gabriel.

Olivier de la Rochenoire
Second Older Brother
Residing in Charbonne, Dementlieu

Olivier is similar to his older brother, Augustin, and often supports him in his trade expeditions for the family. Balthazar’s relations with Olivier are similar to Augustin, the pair hardly ever speaking to one another due to a lack of common interest. Unlike his brothers, Olivier remains unmarried.

Charlotte de la Rochenoire
Older sister
Residing in Charbonne, Dementlieu

Along with both his mother and younger sister, Charlotte gets along with Balthazar very well. The pair often growing up together and sharing their artistic works. Any matters personal, the pair would always trust one another. Throughout their lives the two have supported one another when in distress.

Lambert de la Rochenoire
Uncle
Residing in Port-a-Lucine, Dementlieu

Lambert is a scholar at heart. He respects members of his family and even has been supportive of his nephew Balthazar. Lambert was married to the now deceased Marguerite Dupin.

Grandfather
Deceased

Guillaume was a controversial figure and responsible for the family’s drop in popularity due to open comments against the lower class and open support over the ruling of Lord-Governor Foquelaine. Balthazar never had the opportunity to meet Guillaume for he passed away prior to his birth.

Gaston de la Rochenoire
Son
Deceased

Gastion is the child that was not meant to be. The complications of the birth produced an offspring that did not survive its first week in a loss that took a great toll on the couple. It resulted in years of seclusion from both Balthazar and Valentine, with rumors spread that the young woman required additional care to acquaint herself with the death.

Spoiler: show
Quote
Moulded from humble beginnings as Wine sellers, Peregrinus' were initially simple merchants in the Wine industry, having little to their name aside from a sweet, yet clear vintage of Wine that came from vineyards close by the city of Karg. The founder of the house, Secundus Valerian Peregrinus was the son of a simple merchant who, due to his exceptional skill with book-keeping, caught the eye of an affluent Baron in Ualle, one of many stops for the caravan his family operated. Through his skills, the Baron of house Vociferor became wealthier by the day. Upon Azalin's disappearance, Baron Vociferor grew proud and more dangerously, ambitious, starting a feud with a neighbouring baron in hopes of taking their lands and increasing his own holdings.

The bitter feud went on for five long years where many from each hamlet died at the behest of their lords. Upon Azalins return, seeing the damage the two nobles had wrought, he got rid of the two nobles. To the rival neighbouring land, the barons son took over the house, in the case of House Vociferor, the war he had with his neighbour had not been kind to him and he had lost his sons. Azalin instead noted that despite the destruction, the Vineyards, run in Baron Vociferors stead by Secundus had not only continued their sales, but nigh doubled them. In recognition of his efforts, and his affiliation with the previous house non withstanding, Azalin appointed Secundus as Baron of Ualle and it's holdings, tasked to continue the work he had already wrought. Seeking to establish himself and seeing potential in the youngest daughter of the late Baron Vociferor, Secundus had his layabout son, Pelagious marry , cementing both houses in marriage and later, children.


House Peregrinus Emblem:

A black Falcon clutching an equally black rose upon a escutcheon of wine-red. The Falcon symbolises the Peregrinus name, the black-rose a symbol once belonging to the Vociferor family, now clearly held by the Peregrinus House. The wine-red escutcheon points to the families vineyard roots.

Describe the NPC: The estranged (and technically youngest) Mimieux, Robine does not get along with any member of her family and has left them behind for promises of a brighter future serving in the household of a southern aristocrat. She does not write nor send back solars to her struggling kin, and since 771 B.C., no one back home has heard word from her.

Curiously, even though she is without a doubt Brigitte's twin, the two look nothing alike.

PC Name: Lidia Chirilov

Quote
NPC Name: Vasile Chirilov
Relation to PC: Father (Executed in 768 B.C.)
NPC Location: Buried on the Grounds of the Wachter Family's Estate

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Vasile was a Lance Corporal within the Wachter Family's militia and participated in the War of Copper Knives. He was present at the Battle of the Banner, but saw little action. He was, however, heavily involved in the taking of Vallaki by the late Lord-Boyar's forces. Fanatically loyal to the Wachters and zealous in his newly-discovered Ezrite faith, he was a true believer in the righteousness of the Wachters' cause. Ultimately, he would be one of the unlucky ones executed after Strahd von Zarovich XI ordered the decimation of the Wachter militia at the War of Copper Knives' conclusion.

Lidia was far closer to her father than to her mother, and this shows. To this day, Lidia cannot bring herself to forgive the Grey City, the Wachter Family, or the "Dilisnya cultists" for the roles they had in taking her father away from her.

Quote
NPC Name: Ecaterina Chirilov
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Lives in a farm on Krezk's outskirts

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): The loss of her husband caused Ecaterina to turn towards the bottle for comfort. When this wasn't enough, she brought one man after another into the bed she and Vasile once shared. Ecaterina's current lover, who gambled away the family's money and successfully convinced her that Lidia ought to be wed off herself so they can be rid of her, proved to be the final straw and Lidia made her way east with only the clothes on her back.

Quote
NPC Name: Pavel Chirilov
Relation to PC: Brother
NPC Location: Lives on a farm in Krezk's outskirts

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A dull-witted ox of a man who tends to the day-to-day operations of the Chirilov family's failing farm. With Lidia's sudden departure, Pavel must also handle the farm's book-keeping as well. The results are mixed, as Pavel was never a man for numbers.

Quote
NPC Name: Magdalena Chirilov
Relation to PC: Grandmother (Paternal, Passed Away in 765 B.C.)
NPC Location: Deceased

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Lidia never knew her grandmother terribly well. However, when she passed, Lidia inherited a peculiar book from her. Its contents, until recently, remained a mystery.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A middle aged woman with long, dark hair and brown eyes, she has a strength to her that her growing age hasn't diminished. She works as a tailor, and never got along well with her only child. They would often have arguments over Mirabel's propensity to vanish the whole day and return covered in mud, or with a black eye and bloodied nose from getting in fights. Since Mirabel left home, she's lived on her own, until one day her home was found with a splintered door and a mess of blood inside, the woman herself nowhere to be found.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A strong and prideful elven man, although harsh at time, he always means well. Has long dark hair, with greenish grey eyes. Both tall and muscular in build, due to many years of harsh labor, as well from being a sort of retired monster hunter.

Quote
NPC Name: Ioana Stanciu
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Deceased, buried near Krezk

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Passed away when Stoian was still an infant. A loving and caring mother who was denied the opportunity of raising her child due to the swift and merciless hand of death.

Quote
NPC Name: Matei Stanciu
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: A rundown small house in the seedier parts of Krezk - Deceased, buried near Krezk

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A rabid alcoholic with a troublesome streak of getting himself into trouble more often than not due to the impetuous tongue his drunken self has. It is a small miracle he scrapes a living, doesn't hold a stable job instead resorting to petty crime mainly involving pickpocketting. Has never been violent in any stretch towards his son but he never paid any attention to him either. This has made Stoian feel seething hatred towards his father.

UPDATE: Since 777 BC the man has been deceased, beaten to a pulp and left to bleed out in a dark alleyway. Matei's demise did not affect Stoian emotionally at all, the now-former guardsman more or less annoyed having to deal with his burial more than grieving.

Quote
NPC Name: Florin Stanciu
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location: Deceased, buried near Krezk

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Florin took care of his good-for-nothing brother's son after Stoian's mother passed away. He'd seem emotionally distant at times but nevertheless he cared deeply for Stoian and showed him the ropes in his little general store as well as teaching him the letters. Stoian did a number of odd jobs and menial tasks in his uncle store including offloading and moving stock, cleaning the place, helping with the ledgers, guarding the place and so on.

One night he was murdered by an unknown blade, leaving Stoian with no other choice than to seek a fresh start far away in Vallaki.

PC Name: Eglantine Desrosiers (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=45781.msg660239#msg660239) (born 756 BC)

Quote
Valerian Desrosiers
Grandfather
Residing in Valay, Dementlieu

Marquis de Valay is a rotound man approaching his late sixties and his boisterous manners easily remind the people around him that he is not ready to pass on just yet. As with many in the family before him, he is quick to anger but also quick to cool down and forgive. Beneath the raucous laughter and at times, a rather easy going manner, there is a scheming mind that has hold on to the position as the head of the family and sought to ensure a prosperous future for the grandchildren. While there are at times tensions with the grandsons, he is known to be doting on the granddaughter, the delicate bloom.

Quote
Arlette Desrosiers
Grandmother
Buried in Valay, Dementlieu

Marquise de Valay passed away peacefully in her sleep from old age in the beginning of 775 BC and was buried on the family lands. Unlike her husband, Arlette had a gentler way with people and often quietly soothed any tense relations caused. During her life she had come to oversee many cultivars of roses herself. She was a traditional woman and her marriage to her husband was not a love match but they managed the lands and family efficiently, balancing each other out in temperament.

Quote
Amand Desrosiers
Father
Buried in the cemetery by Port-a-Lucine, Dementlieu

Executed in the wake of the revolution 770 BC. Amand was known as a softer man than Valerian, seeming to have taken after his mother's personality more. There were often tensions between Amand and Valerian, with Valerian being of the opinion that his heir was not responsible enough to manage the family lands.


Quote
Marilene Desrosiers
Mother
Buried in the cemetery by Port-a-Lucine, Dementlieu

Executed in the wake of the revolution 770 BC. Marilene was a woman of fine bearing and with fine tastes, which her husband did not deny her. Her own family were accustomed to the easy luxuries of Port-a-Lucine which the border nobles of House Desrosiers were not concerned with to the same extent.

Quote
Emile Desrosiers
Oldest brother - born 753 BC
Residing in Valay, Dementlieu

Married to Edwige with a young son by the name of Gabin. As the heir, Emile is trying to do what he can to please his grandfather the Marquis. He often finds himself falling short, struggling to meet with the demands and accused of being too much like his father. Whether the struggles are due to his own incompetence or too high demands of the Marquis is up to debate. Often loud ones on the family estate. He is close to his brother, Emeric.

Quote
Emeric Desrosiers
Younger brother - Born 754 BC
Residing in Valay, Dementlieu

Unmarried. Known to have a clever head on his shoulders but also sharing some of the Marquis' temper. He is very supportive of his brother Emile and tries to mend relations between Emile and their grandfather but just as often also makes them worse. He is pressured to find a wife but not to accept just any kind of marriage arrangement.

Describe the NPC: A relatively affluent tradesman and mover of goods, Cristian is a surprisingly highbrow individual for an older Barovian man - this "surprise" is further accentuated by his thuggish appearance, with broad shoulders and the mug of a brute.

House Beauregard
(The Lamordian Side)
"La vérité conquiert tout."
The truth conquers all.

House Beauregard's holdings rest in the southern part of the Ludendorf, near the Musarde River. Rewarded for his service and heroism in the Executioner's Campaign, a chevalier de la Republic named Sieur Isaac Beauregard would be named Baron de Malouet, ruling over a parcel of land on the Dementlieu side and a thorp by the same name. Following his death, Emeric Beauregard would inherit both his title and his land and become the family's newest patriarch; with his eldest son Maxence having perished in the Battle of the Frost fighting alongside the Maitriser's men, his younger brother Maxime is his heir.

House Beauregard once had a reputation for being superior vintners, using the fertile soil close to the Musarde River to their advantage; Over the years due to reputation and wealth, the land and holding grew to be based in Lamordia with the cousin of Emeric Beauregard, Elyot Beauregard taking lordship over the Lamordian lands and stepping away from the vineyard business and into the Fur trade. Emeric's Eldest cousin Elyot Beauregard would have two sons Ludwig and André.

Ludwig Beauregard currently oversees the fur trade operation and runs a very successful business so much so that when his Dementlieu cousins had troubles with their vineyard he fronted most of the losses as a show of good faith for the generosity Emeric showed Elyot. André felt the noble life to be to prim and proper for himself and left Lamordia to start a new in Blaustien but often keeping in contact with his brothers wife Aliénor.

Aliénor and André were murdered on the road by highwaymen during a time of rumours that they were in love and intimate. This was one of the few times Colin Beauregard visited Lamordia in his childhood and at the time was at the estate playing with his cousin Emone.

After hearing the news of his fathers death the 10 year old Colin stowed away on a ship known as the Hangman's Scream that was docked in Ludendorf.
9 Years later on the anniversary of his fathers death. Colin returned to Ludwigs estate, had intimate relations with Emone and ran off into the night with 500,000 Glutton.
As far as the family knows that was the last known sighting of Colin Beauregard.

Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Middle-Upper class residence in Chateaufaux
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Marianne is an artful individual who is mostly disconnected from the mundane realms of politics and finances, preferring instead to dwell on beauty and expression. In fact she considers herself to be a devoted servant and patron of the Arts, no doubt enabled by the fact her brother, the family patriarch, adequately takes care of the dirtier realities of upper class living. After many years in Richemulot, she has recently returned to Chateaufaux to be a woman of leisure and invest in the budding artistic talents of the city from the ashes of her failed career as a singer.

PC Name: Claire Artois
NPC Name: Guy-Jean Artois, Marquis de Damas
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Chateau Eau Vive of Damas
Describe the NPC: Guy-Jean is a war hero, leading Artois forces in skirmishes against Falkovian forces, his successes stemming from a tactical savvy and intelligence. He likes his hunting hounds, his wife, and his children, and in age has forgotten the youthful energy of a soldier in favor of the reserved dignity of a cautious ruler. His presence easily intimidating to lesser men, as he carries himself as a man who has purchased his privilege in war, and knows it.

PC Name: Claire Artois
NPC Name: Evangeline Artois
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Chateau Eau Vive of Damas
Describe the NPC: Evangeline Artois is the textbook image of a dictionary's definition of a stately matriarch. Where her husband is an easy-going man with a tendency to be severe, Evangeline is severe with a tendency of being easy-going. Her talents lie in business accounting and botany, and through her keen intellect has guided the family finances to prosperity. She is highly critical, and generally intimidating to speak to.

NPC Location: Chateau Eau Vive of Damas
Describe the NPC:  A young man, polite and easy going with stunning charisma and social grace. Killian is sensitive, and likes poetry, literature, art, and botany- a far cry from the legacy of gunpowder and steel he's to inherit. The burden of expectations weighs heavily on him, aware that he lacks the military experience of his father, though his studies in the military sciences boast impressive grades. He gets on famously with the youngest Artois, and remains in regular letters with her.

Describe the NPC: Angelica is the spinning image of her father with the severity and wit of her mother. Highly critical like her mother, she has been picky about her future husband, and prefers to busy herself in the botanist's shed on the expansive property. Effortlessly, Angelica maintains the illusion of elegance and prestige sought by most courtiers, though the cold veneer seems to go deeper than just the skin. She trains closely with her mother to learn more about the affairs of the house and how to manage accounts.

Describe the NPC: The weird sisters Motte are rare to come onto the Dementlieuse scene, and for good reason. Strange, eccentric, and with a fondness for wildlife and nature, the sisters live in an estate that lost its battle with the greenhouse, and is over-grown with flora. In best depictions they are gardeners who prefer a pastoral life style, in worst they are strange pagan witches who whisper to plants. It's hard to imagine the weird sisters are related to the business-practical Evangeline, though it's apparent they don't get along. The Aunties adore the Artois children and Guy-Jean, much to Evangeline's dismay. They have a fondness for the estranged and strange, and dislike Dementlieuse nobility as a whole, preferring their plant craft.

Having lost her children and first husband to a mysterious illness, misfortune had befell every other husband she married afterwards. She was hired as Claire's private Governess, where she raised and conditioned the youngest Artois into the woman she is today. Highly critical, and often times verbally and physically abusive, much to the ignorance of the Artois parents, this woman dwells in unpleasant memories of a childhood spent in isolation.

Having always lived in the shadow of the family, the man keeps his bitterness to himself and his barony under his far more charming and accomplished brother's rule. His sour mood could also be attributed to the recent death of his wife in childbirth. He remembers her by his only child, a babe not old enough to be taken out of the swaddle. He is generally unpleasant to speak to.

Family of Jacques Boucher (to be appended as needed)

Spoiler: FATHER • show

NPC Name: Guy Boucher
Relation to PC: Father
Location of NPC: Chateaufaux
Description of NPC:

Guy Boucher is the boisterous, big bellied, hairy, burly father of Jacques. Despite standing at an impressive six feet-three inches, his supreme friendliness and joviality makes him more akin to Santa Claus than anything approaching imposing. He is the owner and proprietor of a small bakery on the outskirts of Chateaufaux, passed down from his father, and he is very proud of this small accomplishment achieved by his family. Alongside his wife, who he loves dearly, Guy has managed to keep his family in relative comfort, firmly placing them within the lower-middle class of the city. The rising price of grain has impacted his livelihood significantly, as he refuses to significantly raise his prices to accommodate this change. This, in concert with perhaps a bit excessive amount of charity to those in need (he is quite keen to give a free baguette to struggling persons), as made his family increasingly reliant on their son for relief, who supplements their income by sending home a portion of his weekly wage. Though he comes from humble beginnings, he and his wife raised Jacques to be a well-mannered, educated man. This, in turn, has placed some faint tension between the two, as Guy finds his son a bit pretentious and uptight in contrast to his direct and easygoing disposition. Nevertheless, the two cherish each other, and Guy writes Jacques frequently, inquiring on his well-being and current happenings, as well as playfully pestering him to find a wife and carry on the family line.


Spoiler: MOTHER • show

NPC Name: Diane Boucher (nee Nôtre)
Relation to PC: Mother
Location of NPC: Chateaufaux
Description of NPC:

Diane Boucher is a slight and diminutive figure beside her loving husband. A wisp of a woman, Diane is reserved, soft-spoken, and introspective, taking to observation and quiet contemplation rather than direct confrontation. She inherited this disposition from her own parents, who emigrated from Mordent when she was in the womb under circumstances never explained to their dear child. At times she can come across as distant and even downright melancholy, but she has the heart of a poet, and writes feverishly. Perhaps this is what drew her to Guy, who met her in his father's bakery when she was just a young girl. The two children conspired to steal a honey cake from the shop, invoking the sharp consternation of both families, and have been inseperable since, and she is still quietly moved by the rowdy man's big heart. Despite her faint presence, she has shown to be quite adept at subtle affairs, using her sensitivity to others and a profound resourcefulness to find advantage in otherwise trepidatious situations. Perhaps this is why people say Jacques takes more after his mother, though the similarities in physical appearance should not be overlooked. She shares the same stark black hair, hers now streaked with silver threads of time's march, and sharp, angular features. The anxiety of current affairs is not lost on her, and she represents a more logical voice in Guy's decision-making, and more than once has she pressed him to react to the grain shortage with pragmatism, though she cannot bring herself to scold him for his charity, which she deeply admires.

Restless, they married young, leaving Immol behind, settling in the reconstructed Krofburg in 764. Keen botanist Miron found lucrative work in the vineyards. When the ash came, everything changed: the vines withered. The harvest doubtful, the Thaani was first on the chopping block. Now, he works down the mines. It takes a toll.

Krofburg is all they have ever known, though by Barovian standards they have been well-provided for.

NPC Relatives:
Quote
Name: Éléonore Garnier
Relation to PC: Mother, age 64
NPC Location: Blaustein
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Eleonore is an old woman, her hair silvered and youth now gone. As a young woman, she worked as an escort in Blaustein. She is a boisterous woman using her cleverness and wit to get her way. As she grew older she became more begrudging towards her lost youth. Now she spends her time cleaning and managing younger escorts as a sort of matriarch. Like all Blausteiners she views her Lord with love, even wishing to be swept off her feet and taken to a life of luxury.

Quote
Name: Unknown
Relation to PC: Father, unknown age.
NPC Location: Unknown
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): As described by Éléonore, Lambert's father was a handsome young man who often would pay to see only her. He would arrive on a ship every month and spend a week celebrating with his coin and with Éléonore. After the week was done he would sail off for business. Though, once she became pregnant, he never returned. All he left behind was his hat, which Lambert wears to this day.

Relation to PC: Younger Half-Brother (Same mother), age 26

His shriveled brown eyes always squinting and his mouth formed in a perpetual scowl. He spends his days drinking at the Inn spending what little coin he makes working as one of Lord Bluebeards Town Guards. His ambition outweighs his cleverness most often as he strives to become one of Bluebeard's trusted castle guards. His relationship with Lambert is strained at best as his younger sibling.

Quote
Name: Renard Moreau
Relation to PC: Sibling's Father, age 58
NPC Location: Dead at sea
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Renard was a shrewd old man who was the runt of the bunch.

In his youth, he was a strong sailor though over time his sailor tattoos became wrinkled and faded. He died one night on sea never to return. His son, Gillebert, still holds Renard with high regard often blaming his mother and Lambert for his final sail on the sea.

Silvio taught Florin all he knew about archaeology, and even had the youth accompany him on field expeditions (including a month-long journey to Pharazia). In the latter years of Florin's service, Silvio came to regard him as a son. When he died, the property and all contained within it was seized by the authorities due to Silvio's outstanding debts.

Through the years, she would brush off her husband's tales of the supernatural, explaining them as stories to entertain. When her husband did not return, she took on a much heavier workload that would lead to her passing at the young age of forty.

Seeing the new born as only a financial liability. The rest of the children received worse. Despite having wealth they would receive little to nothing. For Vegaar, his children were merely pawns in his plan to stay above the laboring class. While his plans succeeded in keeping him above; he would never rise beyond. Much to his torment he would be forever trapped beneath the shadows of the ruling class. Despite being a crippled old man bound to his chair, Vegaar exhibits a cunning that has kept his 'ungrateful' children and their 'grubby paws' in check. Vegaar holds very little love; but plenty of contempt for his children. Vegaar hates Kaazimir the most and blames him for the death of his wife. In Vegaar's will Kaazimir is mentioned at the very end stating that he would only receive inheritance if no others could. Vegaar has not seen his son Kaazimir since the fateful day he handed him over to the Citadel Fane.

NPC Name: Øistein Dvornikov
Relation to PC: Eldest Brother (First of the Dvornikov Children)
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Merchant

Describe the NPC: Øistein was the first son of Vegaar and it comes as no surprise that he is first in line to be called heir to the Dvornikov family wealth and business. Despite being the favorite out of the seven children; Øistein took his fair share of belittlement from his father. Constantly living in his shadow trying to be the best son and business partner he can be while being completely unappreciated for his efforts. Nevertheless, Øistein tries and labors. It is only by the faith of the Lawgiver does he even consider that rewards await him one day. Øistein has never formally met Kaazimir; however he has attended the Citadel fane many a time and has tried to find him.
~
NPC Name: Kaarina Aaker
Relation to PC: Eldest Sister (Second of the Dvornikov Children)
NPC Location: Kantora, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Married member of the Dvornikov family

Describe the NPC: Kaarina is the first daughter of the Dvornikov family. It was not easy being the first Dvornikov daughter as there was very high expectations set. After all, when the time would come she would be married off into another family of wealth as a means of expanding Vegaar's reach. Kaarina always had a curious and inquisitive nature. While Vegaar disapproved of educating Kaarina, it was by her mother Maagnhild's wishes and dying requests that she continue to be educated. When Kaarina came of age she was married to a man belonging to another merchant family: The Aaker family. Despite being displeased in her fathers choice in husband, Kaarina welcomed an escape from the Dvornikov house hold. Kaarina detested her father and his very apathetic nature. While her husband may be an idiot, he is a controllable idiot that she can more than handle. Kaarina has never met Kaazimir but is aware that he exists.
~
NPC Name: Gudmund Dvornikov
Relation to PC: Older Brother (Third of the Dvornikov Children; Deceased)
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Merchant

Describe the NPC: Gudmund was the third child and second son of the Dvornikov family. A frail man who took a great interest in his studies growing up. Gudmund was absolutely fascinated with science, astrology, and the world around him. Though he too was eager to take over the family business perhaps a little too eager. In the year 762 Gudmund was found dead in the woods. Multiple stab wounds, disembowelment, and hanging. Gudmunds death was declared a murder; however the murderer was never to be found. Gudmund never met Kaazimir but was aware that a brother of his was sent away at birth.
~
NPC Name: Niklaas 'Crooked Nick' Dvornikov
Relation to PC: Older Brother (Fourth of the Dvornikov Children)
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Merchant/Criminal

Describe the NPC: The fourth child of Vegaar and Maagnhild was perhaps the most unfortunate of them all. Niklaas came out of the womb sickly and grotesque, and yet he was no caliban. Niklaas' stood hunched over with a large brow and a slightly misshapen jaw. The mans nose was stunted and turned up, and his eyes were large. It was his hideousness that lead to him being the most walked over of the Dvornikov children. Ridiculed in school, ridiculed at home, and by his father; life was difficult for Niklaas. It infuriated him when he had heard he was at the near bottom of Vegaar's will. The only one below him is Kaazimir who is considered so distant from the family that he may as well not be family. Niklaas despite his offensive yet weak and harmless appearance was truly neither. At night Niklaas would join the crowd of criminals when he wasn't working in the back storage rooms of the family. Among them he was known as 'Crooked Nick'.  Using his underworld ties, Niklaas has been plotting against Vegaar, Øistein, Gudmund, and Jørgen for years. It is only a misfortune for him that most of his plans have failed. The only ones who have sympathized for Niklaas were his two sisters but even they were unnerved by his appearance. Niklaas has never met Kaazimir and does not think much of him; infact he questions if Kaazimir was even real or if Vegaar actually murdered Maagnhild and was using the tale of an infant sent to the fane as a means of covering up the 'murder' of his mother. Niklaas hates Vegaar the most out of all the Dvornikov children.
~
NPC Name: Jørgen Dvornikov
Relation to PC: Older Brother (Fifth of the Dvornikov Children)
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Merchant

Describe the NPC: Jørgen was gifted with a silver tongue and handsome face. Though this came at a heavy price. Hardly competent in his studies, and easily distracted. Jørgen is considered the 'dumb' one. Though despite his lack of intellect he would be a well accomplished salesman and always had a woman in his arms. Handsome, masculine, and strong. Jørgen would have been the favorite of the brood if he didn't have such a tendency to pull the family into trouble. Often times it is other siblings who have to help him out of unfortunate situations with just about anyone. Jørgen has been married three times and constantly finds himself in trouble balancing his families. It was his 'tomfoolery' that Vegaar decided he would be just above Niklaas when it came to a family inheritance. Jørgen has never met Kaazimir, forgets he's even been told about Kaazimir, and the few times he remembers he has a younger brother out there somewhere he thinks his name is Knut.
~
NPC Name: Maargot Dvornikov
Relation to PC: Youngest Sister (Sixth of the Dvornikov Children)
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Bachelorette

Describe the NPC: Maargot is the second youngest of all the Dvornikov children. Unmarried and distressed constantly. Maargot wants to be married so she can escape the Dvornikov household and acquire a new life. Maargot is a vain woman constantly looking for a husband in order to fulfill her goals. Vegaar sees her as a disappointment since none wish to wed her and she remains unmarried. Of all the children remaining in the Dvornikov house; Maargot is most sympathetic and kind to Niklaas. In turn Niklaas insists that Maargot is much like their mother in both appearance and demeanor. Maargot was too young to remember Kaazimir and has never met him. While she disregards Niklaas' conspiracy theory about their father having actually murdered their Mother Maagnhild; deep down she believes it is skeptical.
~
NPC Name: Klaus Naas
Relation to PC: Adoptive Father
NPC Location: Bergovitsa, Nova Vaasa
Occupation: Retired Gudkaedes and Clergy with Bergovitsa Citadel Fane

Describe the NPC: The most outstanding of all of Kaazimir's father figures growing up in the Citadel Fane. Klaus was a grizzled old warrior who held both his men and young Kaazimir at a high military standard. Everything the travelling Gudkaedes learned came from Klaus. Klaus was careful and strict in his raising and training of young Kaazimir. Holding him to incredibly high standards but also giving him a loving push from time to time. Though he never showed how much he truly cared for Kaazimir. Klaus held it a secret that he could not have children on his own and saw Kaazimir as his only opportunity to raise a son. To this day, Kaazimir and Klaus still communicate through written letter.


Quote

Relation to PC: Son
NPC Location: Nordenvall Hazlan
Occupation: Baby

Describe the NPC: The son of late Kaazimir Dvornikov and Else Dvornikov. Viktor is a tiny baby with the silver eyes of his father and the platinum blonde hair of his mother. Viktor bears a resemblance to Kaazimir overall. 'Viktor' was a name selected prior to Kaazimir's demise to be named after his friend who died in battle. With his father's death and now apparent undeath the future seems uncertain for the small baby. What will become of young Viktor? Viktor was born 5/26/777.

Maristela Beldorn

Mother: Bethia Cantwell
NPC Location: Nosos
Bethia was a maid working in the Beldorn household. She was seduced by the master, Herman Beldorn, but was cast out when she fell pregnant. Destitute, she turned to petty theft to eke out a living. In a bid to get Herman's attention, she gave the child his surname and harrassed his family constantly (to no avail). When Maristela turned seven, Bethia sent the child to work as a servant in a merchant household. Maristela had a knack for cookery, and was well-liked by her employers. When Maristela turned fourteen, Bethia began encouraging the girl to employ her 'womanly wiles' to earn favors from her masters. Maristela refused, and her deranged mother reasoned that she had no use for her beauty if she would not take advantage of it. She then attacked and maimed Maristela.
Presently, Bethia lives in utter squalor in the Nosian sprawl and wastes away from sickness.

Father: Herman Beldorn
NPC Location: Nosos, aristocratic compound.
Herman is a wealthy financier, and a member of Nosos' decadent aristocracy. He has invested in several of Lord Scleris' coal-mining operations around the Core.
Herman has sired no less than fourteen children; however, only the bastard-child Maristela has survived infancy. With his third wife now deceased, and his health failing, he seeks to locate his sole child.

Wakana Ikegami

Father
Spoiler: show
NPC Name: Taishiro Ikegami
NPC Location: Beikoku, Rokuma Táiyoo
Describe the NPC: Once a leader of a vicious yakuza gang, Taishiro Utsuhi improved his social status by marrying into the Ikegami family. Being an orphan with no connection to his birth family, he gladly accepted the noble name and cast away his old identity. Now as a proper Ikegami, he continued the clan's rise to power through shrewd deals and underworld contacts, proving the wisdom of his father-in-law's choice of an heir. It seems only one thing is troubling this man of success - the lack of a male progeny.


Mother
Spoiler: show
NPC Name: Chiyo Ikegami
NPC Location: Beikoku, Rokuma Táiyoo
Describe the NPC: Nobody knows what Chiyo-hime thought when her father, the previous daimyo, arranged her marriage to Taishiro. She seemed to approach it with a dull acceptance, and while there was never any love between the two, Taishiro seemed to respect his wife... or perhaps fear her. She has not been seen in public for over a decade, with many speculating she might have died or commited suicide.


Older sisters
Spoiler: show

NPCs Location: Beikoku, Rokuma Táiyoo
Describe the NPCs: Not much is known about the daughers of the clan, as they usually keep to themselves and have little interest in the world beyon the walls of Osaki Castle.

NPC Name:Sadako,
Describe the NPC: A quiet sort, Sadako has an unhealthy interest in knives, which she collects obsessively, always eager to try them out...

NPC Name:Momoka
Describe the NPC: A childlish and immature individual. Momoka rarely cares about anything other than the beautiful clothes, toys and cosmetics brought by the gaijin merchants wishing to curry favours with Taishiro. Ikegami children quickly found out she cannot be trusted with family pets.

NPC Name:Tenko
Describe the NPC: The tomboy Tenko could never accept Taishiro's dismissive treatment of her and her sisters and - against his will - started to train with a sword. She keeps chasing the impossible dream of becoming a samurai under the prince's command.

NPC Name:Inori
Describe the NPC: Nobody can quite tell what is wrong with Inori. She claims to see and hear things others cannot, raving about ghosts and demons living within the walls of the castle. These days the only people visiting her rooms are the servants forced to bring her food and water.

NPC Name:Haruka

Severin de Roquefort

Quote
Louis-Joseph de Roquefort (Father)

The present head and face of House de Roquefort. Louis-Joseph is the younger brother of the infamous Augustin de Roquefort, Vicomte de Vexin. Louis-Joseph makes his home in Port-a-Lucine after what is speculated to be his expulsion from the familial estates after conflict with his older brother regarding his marriage to a commoner woman. He is a severe and greying man in his middling fifties who serves the law offices of the magistrate. He is known to place heavy value on tradition but is struggling to maintain the dwindling reputation of what is now a weak and dishonored household. It is observed he pays routine respects to the grave of his late wife and has never considered courting another to replace her.

Quote
Charlotte de Roquefort (Mother - Deceased)

The noble wife of Louis-Joseph now two decades deceased. The youngest daughter of a wealthy baron, her dowry brought further wealth to the de Roquefort line. Her union with Louis-Joseph was arranged at a time when the reputation of the family was without fault. Charlotte died from a grave illness in what is regarded by others as the first of ill tidings for the blighted Roquefort line. The terrible history that would follow soured relations with the baron and what once had been a doting grandfather has now become a distant memory to the adult children of Charlotte.

Quote
Marion de Roquefort (Younger sister)

Marion is the second child of the family. Perhaps inspired by the conviction of her older brother to defy their father, she has grown to be rebellious and resentful of the feminine role within the gentry. She occupies her time writing an unpopular paper contesting the treatment of women, discussing such topics as inheritance laws, marriage, conduct, and dress. She is regarded as controversial and avoided in proper circles, wearing her hair short and preferring styles fashionable among men. Scandalous gossip surrounds her conduct and she is rumored to have paramours among the common worker class. Despite her outspoken opinions, she appears inclined to keep her station among the gentry and refuses to marry any of her fair weather lovers.

Quote
Martin de Roquefort (Younger brother)

Martin de Roquefort suffers from the same illness that claimed his mother years prior. He is a fragile man who has attempted many professions but ultimately returns to the mercy of his father when his addiction to drink and other substances leads to his dismissal. His father has often sought to correct his ways but ultimately succumbs to guilt surrounding the fragile constitution of his child and the resemblance he holds to his late wife. Martin resents his elder siblings for their health and passions as he wanders listlessly through his vices, unable to realize his own dreams. He has all but exhausted the friends of his youth and it is rumored his indiscretions have caused lingering upset to more than a few families among the gentry.

Quote
NPC Name: Marciel de Chauret, Baron de Roquefeuil
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: A dark-haired man with one clean streak of silver denoting middle age; his features are angular, often cold in countenance, and it has been said that he lacks the capability to smile entirely. He follows the ever-shifting fashion trends of Richemuloise nobility and dresses in dark, muted colors. His voice is sharp and clear like a knife cutting through to the ears, and his words tend to reflect these very qualities.

Quote
NPC Name: Lemoura de Chauret
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: Her hair is a shining platinum blonde, almost stark white, and it cascades freely down her back with the faintest of grey strands. Whereas her husband's features are sharp, hers are soft and inspire a sense of innate trust; she is the warmth to his frigidity. The dresses she wears are always at least five to ten years out-of-date and boast bright or pastel colors. Her voice is quiet and sweeter than honey, and she speaks almost too nicely to whomever she deigns to. She is the sister of Lisseta.

Quote
NPC Name: Guthelaque de Chauret
Relation to PC: Uncle, by blood
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: His hair, once dark, is a striking silver brought on by stress and middle age. Much like his brother, he bears a sharp face and an expression of grim severity -- however, the angularity of his features have been reduced by his sheer weight. He tends to forgo the fashion trends of Richemuloise nobility and dresses eccentrically with bright colors and striking patterns. His voice is booming and powerful like gunfire, and so he tends towards bomastic vocabulary to complement such.

Quote
NPC Name: Lisseta de Chauret
Relation to PC: Aunt, married to Guthelaque
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: To those who have managed to catch a glimpse of her, she looks almost identical to her sister Lemoura, except for the fact that her hair is stark white and pulled into a tight bun. Her dresses are of the same antiquity yet tend towards black and other drab colors. As for her voice, it is nonexistent -- she is a mute, no better than a pretty doll propped up in the background of an otherwise dour scene. Particular rumormongers claim that she is an honest-to-goodness ghost.

NPC Name: Gregoire de Chauret
Relation to PC: Grandfather
NPC Location: Cimetière de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: The old patriarch of the family; he who started it all, kicking off the house's death-spiral into their hated reputation and later obscurity. He died just five years after the family fled from Dementlieu in 746 on accusations of necromantic dabbling. His tomb in the family cemetery is dilapidated and abandoned, exemplary of the family's eagerness to escape the dark shadow he cast over their legacy.

Quote
NPC Name: Audette de Chauret
Relation to PC: Grandmother
NPC Location: Cimetière de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Describe the NPC: Whereas Gregoire was vilified, Audette was essentially made into a martyr-like figure for the family, regarded by her children and their children as the most faithful wife of all wives. It is widely held by the surviving members of the family that she was murdered by Gregoire in their own bed for condemning his proclivities -- leading Gregoire to die of a broken heart that very night.

A beautiful woman with long silver hair, she was the youngest daughter of the current patriarch of the Venenum family at the time of the Requiem. When the Requiem came and destroyed the family's base of power in Il Aluk, she happened to be on a trip in Martira Bay, and so survived. In the aftermath, with money running out and news of the deaths of those other family members who had by luck avoided the Requiem, she ended up marrying a wealthy merchant name Augustus.

A distant father, he never had much time for Somnia. His primary concern has always been gaining more power and influence, more wealth- More. He took the Venenum family name after the marriage, and styles himself as powerful and important. Certainly, the name and his use of it has seemed to open some doors for the man, as his continued success shows. The most attention he ever gave his daughter was briefly encouraging her when she wanted to study at the University of Il Aluk in exile.

NPC name: Avitus Venenum

The patriarch of the family, Avitus and most of the rest of the Venenum family, was in the city of Il Aluk during the Requiem and perished.

Name: Lambert Corbeau
Relation to PC: Eldest brother
Location: Chateaufaux
Description: Eldest son of Silvaine Corbeau, apple of his eye and the chief tormentor in Basile's youth. Blonde hair worn down to his neck and pulled behind his ears, he is quite handsome to look at save from a nose that looks to have been broken in the past. Lambert is heir to the fortune of House Corbeau and to it's enterprises. Married and soon to be expecting, he carries considerable power but does not have the intelligence to use it effectively.

Name: Rogier Corbeau
Relation to PC: Second eldest brother
Location: Chateaufaux ✟
Description: Second eldest son of Silvaine Corbeau, Rogier stood out from his siblings due to the shock of red hair that flowed from his head. Pale faced and sallow in mood, he was often alongside Lambert in abusing their half brother, Basile. Rogier lost his life when he fell from a cliff. It is still unclear to auhorities whether or not it was a freak accident or if it was murder.

Name: Fiora da Peraga
Relation to PC: Mother
Location: Chateaufaux ✟
Description: Mother to Basile and Marco Corbeau, Fiora was said to possess a beauty surpassed by few. Long dark hair and inheriting the olive toned skin of Borcans, Fiora was daughter to Raffiano da Peraga, patriarch of House da Peraga of Borca. She was betrothed to Silvaine Corbeau in exchange for an alliance between the families that included a  large sum of resources in favour of da Peraga. Second wife to Silvaine, Fiora is rumored to have passed away due to an unknown illness not long after her eldest son's tenth birthday, leaving behind her two children.

Name: Étiennette Jeune
Relation to PC: Step Mother
Location: Chateaufaux
Description: Third wife of Silvaine Corbeau, Etiennette shows a degree of disdain for the half Borcan brothers, happy to express such to Basile when alone. Etiennette is the daughter of a minor noble family, House Jeune. Her hair is a silvery blonde akin to that of Silvaines aging hue with blue eyes that remind one of ice. She has an equally cold disposition to all but Lambert who she senses Silvaine would not tolerate rudeness to. She resides in Chateaufaux where she waits on her husband, aware of his constant acts of adultry. She does not speak up however, for fear of losing her place within the family.

Name: Raffiano da Peraga
Relation to PC: Grandfather
Location: Levkarest
Description: Patriarch of House da Peraga and Grandfather to Basile and Marco. Well past his prime and entering his golden years, Raffiano is nonetheless a ruthless businessman with several enterprises within Borca he tends to. His once silky black hair is now the colour of dried ash and he wears a thin moustache with the grace of a Borcan. Though distant from his grandsons, Raffiano adores them. Having seen the children only when they visited Borca, he is not a constant in their lives but holds them as da Peraga's more than Corbeaus, believing firmly in the adage 'Blood is thicker than water'

Razgriz

Spoiler: show
Name: Nimira Davenport
Relation to PC: Mother
Location: Village of Barovia
Description: Mother of one and widow, Nimira, once by the maiden name of Nimira Antonova, was considered to be the most typical sight within the worn village- A quiet young woman of a large family, many of them dying within their older years and leaving her working intensely as a barmaid within the Blood of Vine. However as humble of an existence that may have been, she came to love an Outlander man- Despite their initial wariness, he gave her warmth, coin, and genuine interest. This man, of both orange hair and strange accent, ended up being the father of Razgriz himself, James Davenport, before he inevitably passed. An adventurer of his kind had his days limited, but not before he established a decent, quiet home with his newfound wife and had his son. Nimira had long lectured and was quite wary of having a child, and was even more so when Razgriz had retained the Outlander's strange abilities and even worse, innate sorcery. She hid it away as best as she could, and was even somewhat cruel to the boy, but it wasn't in her nature to be so; She often apologized and was just simply worried of losing what they had to childish mistakes.

When James had finally died within an adventuring incident, it not only left her without a father for her child, but without balance to her life- No outside influence, and slowly seeping back into the general superstition of the common Barovian way. Emotionally, she was torn, mentally, she was even further worn down by the trials that life had pushed her- No family outside of her son, half-Outlander, looking far too much like his father. As she grew in age, her mind begun to fray, and more early than expected in her older years had she begun to lose her memory, which is roughly when Razgriz had left the village to begin his own adventuring-- At her great disapproval, as well, but he did not mind. He still takes time to visit the shrewd, smaller Barovian woman of stark black hair and tired eyes, half his height, but each time must remind her of so many things due to her memory loss. It breaks his heart, but he still returns to give her coin, food, and small talk despite her awful words about adventuring and his Outlander tendencies. It is still his mother, after all...

Naël Osterberg (38), Lamordian

Quote
Karsten & Francesia Osterberg
Parents
???
Naël's parents eked out a living on a remote stead near Riefa Schwoat, raising sheep for wool, mutton, and milk. They set enough coin aside so that Naël could be sent to Ludendorf to study medicine. Two years into the young man's education, Karsten and Francesia vanished without a trace. A neighboring crofter noted the couple's absence from their usual chores and sounded the alarm. An investigation turned up nothing: their last meal was laid out on the table, and their Winter coats were still on their hooks. A lantern was knocked over, and the door was wide open, as though the occupants of the cottage had departed in a hurry.
Naël inherited the farm and abandoned his studies in order to maintain it. It had been in the Osterberg family for several generations, and he did not want it to fall into ruin.

Quote
Niklaus Osterberg (21)
Adopted Son
Osterberg Stead near Riefa Schwoat, Lamordia
Naël adopted Niklaus from an orphanage when he was six. Brawny and a little slow-witted, he spends most of his time performing shepherd's work in the pastures. When he was younger, he would often claim to have seen 'strangers' on the land. No-one else could verify this claim, even after thorough searches.

Quote
Lüder Osterberg (24)
Adopted Son
Osterberg Stead near Riefa Schwoat, Lamordia
Lüder came from a family of nine children; too many for his parents to feed and clothe. Naël adopted him when he was eight so that he could help on the farm. He grew to be skilled in managing both the herd and the accounts, turning a handsome profit for the family. Naël ceded the deed for the land to Lüder when he came of age. They write to one another regularly.
Lüder is a well-known name in the local wool trade.

Quote
Anjette Osterberg (29)
Daughter-in-Law
Osterberg Stead near Riefa Schwoat, Lamordia
Anjette is Lüder's wife: a stocky, muscular woman. A talented carpenter, she maintains the sheds, barns, and fences on the property. She delivered a healthy baby boy in March.

Quote
NPC name: Ursula Seifert
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Deceased

A beautiful woman with an equally beautiful soul, she was a diamond in the rough. A rarity in the cold, rational land of Lamordia, Ursula was a painter of some small renown, who pursued her interests despite her family and friends telling her it was a "dead end". She regularly cultivated Stella's creative side until she was seven years old, whereupon she developed a wasting sickness and perished.

Quote
NPC name: Dietrich Seifert
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Ludendorf, Lamordia

Dietrich Seifert is owner and proprietor of Seifert Timepieces, Limited. While he was once a kind man with a vast soul (as evidenced by his love for his late wife Ursula), his warmth was snuffed out not long after Ursula passed away. He became a control freak, a man who was insistent upon regulating every piece of his daughter's life. He was obsessed with having her inherit his legacy. When Dietrich thought to try and run for a place on Ludendorf's schultebott, Stella made a point of sabotaging his political ambitions so he would notice her. Furious, he schemed to have her married off; in response, Stella acted hysterical around her suitors, successfully scaring them all away.

With Stella having ran away from home to pursue her flourishing career as a stage magician, Dietrich realizes he went too far in trying to keep her under his thumb. He has turned to the bottle, drinking away his sorrows and misery while his business. He truly wishes nothing more than to reconcile with his estranged daughter and have at least a fraction of the family he once had, again.

Henrietta Voltaire

NPC Name: René Voltaire
Relation to PC: Mother
Location: Port d'Elhour
Description: Twenty years ago there wasn't a soul who had not heard of René Roche. "The Black Pearl of d'Elhour" was invited to perform in the mansions of Souragne's elite, unsurpassed by other dancers. René was at the cusp of international fame, courted by managers of the finest theaters, when her downfall came in the shape of a man, Marcel Voltaire. Handsome, wealthy and dangerous, Marcel was irresistible to the young dancer, and the two soon wed. Difficult pregnancy and the birth of twin daughters, Marisol and Henrietta, were the final nails to the coffin of René's career. To make matters worse, Marcel's fortune was soon replaced by a mountain of debts. Now, impoverished and forgotten, René became a bitter shade of herself, completely focused on making sure Marisol and Henrietta would achieve what she never could - whether they liked it or not.

NPC Name: Marcel Voltaire
Relation to PC: Father
Location: Port d'Elhour
Description: If Marcel wants something, he will usually get it. A handsome man, skilled in the games of chance, he will gleefully win a lord’s fortune in the span of an evening and gamble it away before the sun is up. Although the flames of passion between him and René never died down, their downright hostile relationship is what makes Marcel avoid home life, and focus on his true love - blackjack.

NPC Name: Marisol Voltaire
Relation to PC: Sister
Location: Unknown
Description: While both sisters inherited their mother's artistic talents, Marisol was the only one to share René's ambitions. Very quickly it became apparent that Port d'Elhour was too small for her larger-than-life attitude, and (to nobody's surprise) she left Souragne on the day of her 24th birthday, seduced by the promises of fame and fortune somewhere abroad. However, instead of dancing on the stages of famous theaters in Dementlieu or Richemulot, Marisol found herself confined to the claustrophobic interior of Miner's Merriment in Krofburg, as far from the spotlight of city life as possible, before vanishing with no explanation. Her mysterious disappearance is what prompted Henrietta to leave the relative safety of Port d'Elhour in the search of her sister.

Else Roesdaahl
The Roesdaahl Family

Named for a"rose-valley" in Pommel Duchy. The Roesdaahls are a small merchant family in service to the Chekivs of Pommel Duchy. Their small amount of wealth has allowed the family to live with relative comfort and freedom, in the already independent frontier towns of the Tordenmark. The family boasts a small home in the countryside, as well as an office in Arbora proper.

Edit, note: Details about the childhood disease can be provided on request. It is based on a real-world condition.

Quote
NPC Name: Hakon Roesdaahl
Relation to PC: Father (Deceased)
NPC Location: Outside Arbora, Pommel County
Occupation: Merchant - Livestock, land transportation

First son of the small but comfortable Roesdaahl house, Hakon is not distinguishable from any number of other Vaasan middle class patriarchs. A serious man and a hard worker, he infused every aspect of the Roesdaahl household with a sense of familial duty and strict discipline. Tutors and governesses cycled through the house regularly, few of them ever meeting his high expectations. These days Hakon works closely with his only son, who is preparing to take over the family business.

Edit: Hakon recently died of a heart attack, though some suspected poisoning. He leaves his estate to his eldest son.

Quote
NPC Name: Kamilla Roesdaahl (birth name: Kamilla Pedrikke)
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Outside Arbora, Pommel County
Occupation: Widow

An illness tore through the Pedrikke family at the prime of Kamilla’s life, costing her a father, brother, and sister: and leaving the family without a patriarch to lead the business. To save the family’s tenuous middle class status, Kamilla was quickly married to a widower in the backwater countryside of Pommel Duchy. Kamila was a poor fit for the rustic region and for the family, and withheld herself from her family in grief and arrogance. She suffers still from weakness and nerve damage caused by the disease, a pain which sees her fiercely addicted to opium.

Kamilla spends most of her time curled up in the drug, consumed with grief and reliving old memories of her family’s prime. Something of her disease lingers: one of her children wasted away shortly after birth, and the other, Else, barely survived early childhood.

Quote
NPC Name: Hugo Roesdaahl
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location: Arbora, Pommel County
Occupation: Businessman - gambling

Hugo is the unlucky second son of the Roesdaahl estate, and inheritor of nothing. Possessed of cunning and ruthlessness, he has managed to scrape together a small business of his own using the family name, connections, and experience expanding the Roesdaahl business. His gambling ventures are technically Hakon’s, but Hakon has come to rely on Hugo’s clever business dealings and grudgingly relents a fair amount of power and money to the man--enough that Hugo schemes to split from his brother.

Despite his ruthlessness, Hugo is far more fond of his nieces--but not his nephew--than Hakon or Kamilla. Lessons are often imparted through clever, roundabout ways, without it ever seeming like a lesson. The girls often spent time at his humble home as an escape from the tyranny of their father, though as the sisters were married off only Else continued to visit. It was through Hugo she came to feel comfortable in the outdoors and around animals, and was later able to put those woodsy skills to use.

Quote
NPC Name: Viggo Roesdaahl
Relation to PC: Elder brother
NPC Location: Arbora, Pommel County
Occupation: Eldest son, merchant

There is little to differentiate Viggo from other eldest sons of the sparse middle class. The delicacy of the family’s social status and wealth has been drilled into him from an early age, and it is a duty he takes seriously. He was the first in the family to swear off opium, disgusted with his mother’s indulgence and idleness. He despises her and everything she represents.

Towards his sisters, Viggo is a reflection of his father. Under the surface, however, he loves them and in rare moments betrays this with warmth. His work puts him in occasional contact with Hugo, and though Viggo disapproves of gambling and opium, the two share a grudging respect for each other. Together they supported Else’s decision to join the church--and then opposed her later decision to join the Hazlani church. Privately, Viggo misses all of his sisters who have been married off one by one. He was always protective of and especially close to Else, and has not forgiven her decision to leave the city.

Edit: Viggo has inherited the family business and is now the Roesdaahl patriarch. He has summoned his sister Else back home.

Qillathe Kaldeist
House Mystic

The Kaldeist family of House Mystic has not been liked for as long as Sithicus has been ruled by tyrants. It is unclear when the family's loyalty to the Sithicans began to waver, but Qillathe does not remember a time before the household was allied with the tyrant.

Quote
NPC Name: Maravallon Kaldeist
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Har-thelen
Occupation: Mage, Politskrae

It is not a well-kept secret that Maravallon began working for the Politskrae long ago. A sour and stern man, Maravallon is a distant father and a stern patriarch. Where warmth and joy are unusual in Sithicus, they are myths under his eye. Maravallon sees those around him, including his own family as tools--but like other Sithicans he lacks any ambition or assertiveness to do much with them. He trudges his way through his rotten life, blandly carrying out orders without enthusiasm or conscience.

Before Qillathe's mysterious disappearance from Sithicus, Maravallon completed the arrangement of his daughter's betrothal to another Mystic family. He is annoyed by the disruption of his plans caused by his daughter's disappearance.

Quote
NPC Name: Lisindrela Kaldeist
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Har-thelen
Occupation: Librarian

A tired woman who is by all accounts dead inside. She oozes apathy, even for her own family's affairs, and makes for a fine case study in Sithican dreariness. When she does converse with her husband or only daughter it is only to remind them how poorly their efforts are likely to go. She largely keeps to her books, dutifully archiving--and occasionally eating--the rotted texts.

When informed of her daughter's disappearance, she nodded and returned to her work.

Lochlann Ó Corcáin

Quote
Name: Ceat Ó Corcáin
Relation to PC: Father (Raised Lochlann)
NPC Location: Deceased (Stoned to death, remains burned to ash)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Ceat was a softer man that acted as a young Lochlann's father. Becoming Lochlann's father was a scarring struggle for Ceat because he did not sire Lochlann. This fact lead to Ceat and his wife becoming ridiculed for their behavior. Nevertheless they were tolerated in town and Ceat had made a living working as a Cloudberry farmer in Linde. Ceat was dragged out of his own home when the Church of Belenus' inquisition found his daughter to be guilty of Witchcraft. At this point; the inquisition decided to go after the entire family to rid the taint of the fey upon the Ó Corcáin family.

Quote
Name: Mairéad Ó Corcáin
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Deceased (Stoned to death, remains burned to ash)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Mairéad was a free spirit of a wife who like Ceat would be cursed with shame. Mairéad had an affair with a Vistani man that was short lived but would carry her through out the rest of her life by the slander of her fellow villagers, and by Lochlann whose true father was the Vistani visitor. Mairéad was said to be a kind but airheaded woman who was easily amused and excited by the wonders of the world around her. Mairéad was killed after the Inquisition of Belenus dragged her and her husband Ceat out of their home, stoned them to death and burned their remains.

Quote
Name: 'Ratka'
Relation to PC: Father (Biological)
NPC Location: Nomadic; Corvara tribe Location unknown
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Little is known of Ratka beyond his first name. The biological father of Lochlann truly is an enigma that none of the family except Mairéad ever met. Though Mairéad has described him fondly; she never talked too much about him as to not upset Ceat or continue the rumors regarding her family. Ratka is perhaps the only known relative of Lochlann still alive out there.

Quote
Name: Ionait Ó Corcáin
Relation to PC: Older Half-Sister
NPC Location: Deceased (Hands removed, Burned at the stake)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Ionait was Lochlann's older sister whom like her mother was a free spirit that did as she pleased. This nature of hers would find her trouble however when she made contact with fey of the forests. They taught her witchcraft and she kept it a secret from everyone including her family until one day she got impatient while working in the Cloudberry fields and used magic to try and repair something thinking no one was watching. Unbeknownst to her, the neighbors son was watching and reported her to the inquisition. When the inquisition arrived they found everything: spell books, spell components, and arcane literature. It was all burned and destroyed and Ionait was put to the stake and burned alive. Ionait was the kindest of Lochlann's siblings when it came towards Lochlann. Ionait never minded that they didn't share a father and saw him as family regardless.

Quote
Name: Maolcholm Ó Corcáin
Relation to PC: Younger Half-Brother
NPC Location: Deceased (Murdered by angry villagers)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Maolcholm was Lochlann's younger half-brother and the two got along, but often times Lochlann was kept at arms length and even sometimes bullied by his brother outright for being different from the others. Maolcholm was incredibly close to Ionait though and would often do his best to be a 'good brother' and protect his sister from the 'horrible nasty fey' of the forest. Maolcholm never lived up to that though, and instead died trying to protect his sister from the inquisitions raid on the home. Maolcholm bought time for Ionait to try and escape but these attempts were futile. Angry villagers demanding immediate justice killed Maolcholm and his brother Malachi in protest of them defending their sister.

Quote
Name: Malachi Ó Corcáin
Relation to PC: Youngest Half-Brother
NPC Location: Deceased (Murdered by angry villagers)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Malachi was the youngest of the Ó Corcáin family and was very close to his older brother Maolcholm. Malachi was never too close to Ionait or Lochlann; and yet nonetheless he stood by Maolcholm's side even into death as rampaging villagers tore them to pieces with farming utensils. Malachi was a young man who looked forward to participating in his labors on the farm.

Relation to PC: Grandfather, very old
NPC Location: Henri Valcourt's Estate, Mordent
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Henri Valcourt largely keeps to himself and a quiet life in Mordent so much so that many commonly think he is dead.  He recently gave an ultimatum to Godwin Valcourt's branch of the family to do something with the Valcourt name other than wasting away the fortune or be disowned.

Relation to PC: Father, age 53
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Godwin is a schmoozer and a greaseball of a Mordentish man, eager to do what benefits him.  While he does care about his children, he has a tendency to be shortsighted and selfish with his aims and take things which give him instant gratification.  He quite loves parties and any exquisite and exclusive outings, and is eager to spend money—sometimes money he does not have.


Name: Bernadette Valcourt
Relation to PC: Mother, dead
NPC Location: Valcourt family mausoleum, Mordent
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A strict, albeit caring, wife and mother, Bernadette died when Cornelius was ten.  Cornelius remembers little about Bernadette beyond her tendency to hold him at too high of a standard.  After her death, Godwin never remarried and he seemed changed for the worse.


There are numerous other children that Godwin has had before the death of his wife, left undefined for now.

Louis the 8th Périgord
Relationship - Grandfather and Seigneur of House Périgord
Location - Port d'Elhour
Description: The Patriarch is an old man and has gotten more stubborn in his old age. He does leave the day to day running of the house and family to his son and heir, Louis, though he does hold final say on important family matters. He is almost never seen without his cane which contains the symbol of the house carved into its wooden frame. Compared to his son who prefers inventions, the Seigneur is known for his spiritual devotion to the Loa, and close to Aimee Delaroux. This has earned him the moniker of Louis the Pious.

Louis Périgord
Relationship - Father
Location - Port d'Elhour
Description: While Louis is the patriarch, it is the younger Louis who handles the actual business of the house. Hervé possesses a keen mind and savvy business sense.

Henrietta Périgord

Location - Port d'Elhour
Description: Her grandmother is the matriarch of the family, a prickly woman who still retains some of her younger beauty.

Monique Périgord
Relationship - mother
Location - Port d'Elhour
Description: Josephine has always known her mother to be sweet and gentle, though at times she can be quite the strict mother wanting her to get good remarks from her tutors.

It was this intelligence that first attracted Josephine’s father to her.

Jean-François Périgord
Relationship - Uncle
Location - When not sailing the seas or on business trips abroad, like the rest of the family he resides in Port d'Elhour
Description: The second son of Louis the Pious, Jean-Francois did not have the same pressure to be the Seigneur like his brother. He is not jealous of his brother, in fact he prefers not being the heir as it means he can focus on his sailing. He adores sailing and considers himself quite the navigator and ship captain. He thus tends to command the various family ships.

Louis Périgord
Relationship - Older Brother
Description: The first born, and like other firstborns has the name louis, he would be the 10th Seigneur to bear the name .

Aimée Delaroux

Location - Port d'Elhour
Description:  Aimée Delaroux is the voodan that serves the Périgord family as the spiritual advisor. It is her duty to help ensure that the family lives in harmony with the countless Loa, particularly their ancestor loa.

Despite all things, Mutsohito was an excellent swordsman and soldier; having not lost a single duel in his life... yet. When Yoshiaki had perished it was Mutsohito that gave the news to the family. When it did happen many questions arises which included: 'Where is his body?', 'Why didn't Mutsohito join his father in harakiri?', 'How did Mutsohito survive if Yoshiaki a more experienced samurai saw inevitable defeat?'. No one knows, and few are brave enough to bring up the nerve to ask such questions. For Mutsohito everything was a pawn in his grand game of chess. When Yoshiaki did perish though, Mutsohito took no time to mourn. An action that would be seen as dishonorable towards not only elder but his own parent. Instead Mutsohito was enthusiastic and delighted to be operating the day to day needs of his new title as head of household. In addition to his warfare, Mutsohito would despite himself show to be a capable manager. While Clan Katayama owns no land, Mutsohito manages and trades iron mined from one of the daimyo's many mines. With the job given to him by the Daimyo and his role as samurai; Mutsohito seeks elevation and he will make any sacrifice necessary to do so.

Quote
Name: Katayama Tatsuki
Relation to PC: Mother; Wife of Katayama Mutsohito
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Hate. Hate was not a good enough word to describe how much she loathed Katayama Mutsohito. Tatsuki was married off to Katayama Mutsohito as a means of creating an alliance between hers and his clan. These sorts of arranged marriages though do not always work out, and this one was incredibly tough on Tatsuki. Mutsohito was in his private life a drunk, a womanizer, and a cruel man with casual disregard for the life of others. Tatsuki has and would endure for the sake of her family both her original clan and her children. Perhaps the only good thing that Mutsohito gave Tatsuki was her vast amount of children. As any good mother would; she loved them despite hating their father. This love kept her going and drove her well, but when Shotaro their eldest son perished in battle; it struck a huge blow to Tatsuki. The reality of the civil war sank in and it frightened Tatsuki. One day while out to market Tatsuki noticed some men speaking to some oddly dressed foreigners. These sailing foreigners had stopped by after getting lost on the sea. This inspired Tatsuki to speak to Mutsohito about the manner suggesting that the foreigners have interesting weapons and unusual ways that could be utilized to work against the Shujins enemies. Tatsuki suggested that they send some of their family abroad to learn of these foreign lands and possible bring back a cache of equipment so that he could perhaps become elevated. Much to Tatsuki's surprise, Mutsohito  agreed and would enact her plan; though he would not send all of their children off. It was a bitter but welcomed sigh of relief that her younger children would be sent abroad. Today, Tatsuki continue to keep a brave face and watch in horror as her other children head off into gruesome warfare.

Quote
Name: Katayama Shotaro
Relation to PC: Eldest Brother
NPC Location: Deceased (Perished in battle)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Shotaro was the first son of Tatsuki and Mutsohito. Shotaro was said to have been a man with a very good heart; despite who his father was. Honored by other clans, and even some foes would respect his skill on the battlefield. It really seemed that Shotaro would be the paragon of the Katayama family. Many often saw their family as less of a family but more as a institution; but for Shotaro his family was his family there was love in how he treated everyone in it. Shotaro's death was a devastating blow to the family that all but Mutsohito never really seemed to recover from.

Quote
Name: Katayama Gonshiro
Relation to PC: Second eldest brother
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo (Deceased; murdered.)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Gonshiro is the second eldest in the Katayama family and currently the next in line to inherit the family in the event of Mutsohito's death. Gonshiro was always a quiet and curious child. When it was time for him to take the mantle of samurai and undergo the training necessary he did what he had to. Though battle and warfare would not interest him. Instead Gonshiro was most interested in the natural world around him and had interests to study it. Often times Gonshiro can be found in the family gardens very curiously observing plant life. When Mutsohito decided to send the younger children abroad he was very disappointed he was not selected for such an interesting and educational venture.

Quote
Name: Katayama Tadatsuke
Relation to PC: Third eldest brother
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo (Deceased; Slain by Katayama Yasutsugi)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Unlike his brother Gonshiro, Tadatsuke lived and loved battle. When his father first had him hold a sword, he felt for the first time in his life truly alive. Known for his swift brutality and quick willingness to enact Kiri Sute Gomen on any of lower class than him. It was to the fear of onlookers that even if Mutsohito fell there would still be a little Mutsohito running about. It's been (quietly) said that Tadatsuke would perhaps be even worse than Mutsohito. Tadatsuke was neither interested in art, or sciences and instead his interest would be in war. Towards his younger siblings he was strict and condescending. Constantly pushing them his sense of superiority; wanting them to do better not for their benefit but to his own. With the ongoing civil war, perhaps it was lucky for Tadatsuke to be born during this gruesome conflict. There is only one issue: Gonshiro is the next in line for the seat of 'head of household' and Tadatsuke very firmly believes Gonshiro is too weak to lead, and that his father a 'drunken animal' is already very ill fit to lead.

Quote
Name: Katayama Tetsuyuki
Relation to PC: Fourth Eldest Brother
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Tetsuyuki was perhaps the most pathetic of the old siblings. Bearing no great artisan skills, or even fighting prowess. It would seem that Tetsuyuki would inherit all the worst traits of his father Mutsohito. Often seen drinking and womanizing; and on the battle field he was a pathetic mess. Rumors would suggest that he used peasant ashigaru units as human shields, or that he would spend most of his time running and hiding while his brothers did all the heavy lifting. There is one thing Tetsuyuki was good at however and that was talking. The man's outgoing socialite behavior would lend itself to his diplomatic skills; making it much to the family's surprise that he is actually their best diplomat. Of the three remaining older siblings, Tadatsuke bullies Tetsuyuki the most. This bullying however had slowly developed into a working relationship between Tetsuyuki and Tadatsuke. The two of them have always been known to scheme and plot together.





Extended Family - Lineage of Katayama Tokimasa
Spoiler: show

Quote
Name: Katayama Tokimasa
Relation to PC: Uncle (Father's Brother)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Tokimasa is the second of Yoshiaki's sons. Tokimasa was always small even by Rokuman standards but despite this he was a fierce samurai warrior who enjoyed confronting opponents larger than himself. Tokimasa's stubby legs however would prove to be his down fall. It is said that Tokimasa had made dishonorable and crass remarks about the wife of a fellow samurai from a different clan. This samurai challenged Tokimasa to a duel and humiliated him, but he was not entirely dishonored for this loss. Tokimasa was crippled terribly in his leg effectively ending his career as a Samurai. This event 'ruined' Tokimasa as he began to enjoy a life of leisure no longer being required to fight. Tokimasa gained an tremendous amount of weight and required a cane to move about. Despite many finding him repulsive he was fortunate enough that Clan Tanji had hit financial woes and many of it's sons had fallen. In exchange for some financial aid, Clan Tanji had offered their exceptionally beautiful daughter Tanji Chiho to be married to Tokimasa. Chiho finds Tokimasa to be absolutely repulsive but nevertheless has birthed several sons for the fat little samurai. In Addition to Chiho, Tokimasa has taken on a few concubines desperate for a means out of poverty. Tokimasa enjoys educating his sons on the art of warfare that he can no longer engage in while stuffing his mouth with food all throughout the day.

Quote
Name: Katayama Chiho
Relation to PC: Aunt (Uncle Tokimasa's Wife)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): The tragedy of Katayama Chiho begins with her once very prestigious family. The Tanji had been around for a very long time; but were always stagnant. Chiho had three brothers, and her father fell in battle when she was a girl. Under their grandfather's guidance they attempted to make a gambit in battle against the south eastern island. This attempt to establish a foothold in one of the islands villages under the veil of night ended gruesomely in the death of her brothers: Yasotaro, Masutaro, and Yugoro. This blunder would not only leave the Tanji family deprived of sons but their coffers have been througly emptied as well. In a desparate bid to maintain livlihood of the elderly father in law; Tanji Chiho was married off to Katayama Tokimasa. Chiho was known throughout Eikoku as one of the most if not the most beautiful woman in the entire great village of Eikoku. Chiho never handled the fall from grace well; the most beautiful woman perhaps in the whole of Rokushima-Taiyoo was now betrothed to a man who may be considered the most repulsive of all Eikoku. Chiho would unfortunately provide Tokimasa with several children; however some of the children are not Tokimasa's. From time to time Chiho would 'escape' into romances with servants and peasants who caught her eye. For a moment she would escape Tokimasa; but she would be left with her lover's children. A cruel reminder of a life she could have had. No one in the Katayama family is aware that some of Tokimasa's children are illegitimate.

Quote
Name: Katayama Yunosuke
Relation to PC: Cousin (Eldest Son of Tokimasa)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Katayama Yunosuke grew up the first child between Tokimasa and Chiho. Cherished and spoiled by his father; Yunosuke grew up hearing countless tales of his father Tokimasa's exploits in warfare (Most if not all of these stories are lies, Mutsohito's exploits, or have some less than flattering details removed). The young boy grew up entitled, and under the false belief his father was a great and noble Samurai. This entitlement had been seen since Yunosuke was a small boy and was often dismissed as 'cute' or 'being a little prince'. What manifested from this spoiled rotten upbringing was one of the most ignorant and commanding Samurai to have walked the islands. Even as a grown man he is babied by his father and is prone to dramatic out bursts. Servants fear working for him because they know he has a pension to enact Kiri Sute Gomen at a moments notice and for the most trivial of offenses. Yunosuke is naturally quietly despised by his mother and by those around her. It is said that many wish to plot against him but are also too afraid to act.

Quote
Name: Katayama Taira
Relation to PC: Cousin (Eldest Daughter of Tokimasa)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Taira is the second child of Tokimasa and Chiho. Neglected by her father, and mostly disregarded by her mother. Taira was treated as little more than an object and burden for the Katayama family on Tokimasa's side. Taira become quiet and reserved, becoming an observer rather than a participant. Taira is a small and beautiful girl but has no really interest in her appearance as her vain mother does. The melodramatic nature of her spoiled brother had made her feel even smaller than she already did. Fearful he would harm her, and generally feeling helpless. Taira found difficulty in expressing herself through spoken word and would take to writing poetry. At first she kept her works hidden not wanting her family to know how she really felt. Chiho would try and teach her how to be a 'lady' though it mostly disinterested her. Taira wishes to be free, to escape the dreadful world that she was born into that feels more like a prison than anything else; her father the warden and her brother the rabid hound preventing her from being who she wants to be. Despite the grimness of it all she remains hopeful that she will be married away one day and never have to see her parents again.

Extended Family - Lineage of Katayama Keiko
Spoiler: show

Quote
Name: Katayama Keiko
Relation to PC: Aunt (Father's Sister)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Katayama Keiko was Yoshiaki's favorite daughter. It was said in her youth she was an astounding beauty with a voice like silk and warm demeanor. Keiko loved life and life seemed to love Keiko; but even love can become so twisted and corrupted by passion and desire. Daughters were typically bargaining chips used by their fathers to forge alliances with other houses. Keiko however stood out from other women of the bushi caste. Suitors had lined up to aggressively make their bid to marry Keiko. Many samurai were eager to win her hand, but most eager of all was no Samurai but a servant. Hiruma Keisuke had worked with under Yoshiaki for many years. Day in and day out he saw all sorts of lewd, and brutish Samurai try to take the hands of gentle and angelic Keiko. It was true, he loved her and he would do anything to have her. It is said that Keisuke starved himself and saved up money to find a blade so that he may challenge all of her suitors and earn Yoshiaki's blessing. Much to the surprise of all, Keisuke challenged these men to duels only to meet them with decisive victories. Yoshiaki saw Keisuke's skill and in a very rare turn of events he allowed the servant to wed his daughter; provided she approved of such a thing. Keiko had, as she too was smitten with the workers valiant efforts. Keisuke was allowed to hold the name 'Katayama' and marry Keiko. They lived happily for a couple of years and had many children together. This happiness would not last too long though as Keisuke fell in battle alongside Mutsohito's son Shotaru. This shook Keiko but also drove her as she took up the role of an Onna-musha to train her sons for combat as she would not see them denied the role of Samurai. Keiko would become both beautiful princess and warrior; though she will never understand what made Keisuke such a great warrior.

Quote
Name: Katayama 'Hiruma' Keisuke
Relation to PC: Uncle (Husband of Katayama Keiko)
NPC Location: Deceased (Slain in battle)
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Keisuke grew up in an impoverished and abusive family. An uncaring mother, and drunk father; it would seem that Keisuke had drawn the shortest of straws in life and that nothing would ever get better. Keisuke never gave up so easily though and instead saw that he could rise above his meager and pitiful roots. As a man Keisuke would be accepted for a job working as a servant for Clan Katayama. A luxurious position that kept him well fed and in better condition than the other serfs. The best part of the job though? Keisuke was able to see her. Keisuke fell madly in love with Katayama Keiko the moment he saw her. It absolutely tormented and devastated Keisuke at his core to understand that he could not have her. Despite this Keisuke was content with the distance he was cursed with; and was more than willing to simply serve Keiko in all of her needs. That was until the hordes of suitors came in droves; whispering lewd thoughts of Keiko and the mouthwatering lure of Clan Katayama wealth. This infuriated Keisuke which lead him to seeking out the advice of wise elders whom he was told lived in hermitage just behind a great forest. Keisuke travelled into the forest only to become lost. The serf found himself in a dark and twisted part of the wood that howled with the ghastly sounds of lamenting specters. So much wandering lead him to a quiet that was broken by the singing of a beautiful maiden. When he found the source it turned out to be a horrible wretched monster, a twisted aberrant parody of a woman who wielded terrible power. The creature asked Keisuke what he was doing and he told the Yama-uba everything. The monster saw this as an opportunity offering him great power to win his love in exchange for his soul. The fiend warned that as a result of signing this deal that Keisuke's taint would pass on to his children. Keisuke didn't care and struck the deal before passing out. Keisuke would awaken back at the village of Eikoku and wasted no time fighting for his love. Secretly using dark powers to make himself stronger while unseen Keisuke devestated the competition and eventually slew all of Keiko's suitors one by one in a duel. Yoshiaki was astounded at this and allowed him to not only be granted the Katayama name but also to marry his daughter Keiko if she so chose. Fortunately for Keisuke, Keiko had felt the same for the once serf. Keisuke had many children with Keiko and they were happy for a brief amount of time; but because Keisuke cheated his way through life he never gained the skills necessary to truly survive. Keisuke fell in battle when his powers would not aid him. A grand funereal was held for him and he died with the legacy of a great warrior but only he ever knew the truth. Now his soul is the plaything of a wicked creature with terrible designs.

Quote
Name: Katayama Yunosuke
Relation to PC: Cousin (Eldest son of Katayama Keiko)
NPC Location: Village of Eikoku Rokushima-Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Yunosuke is the eldest son of Keiko and Keisuke. Yunosuke remembers his father well and has been eager to to follow in his foot steps the loss of his father however hurt him greatly. When his mother started taking over training for him Yunosuke began noticing he was able to wield foul mahou. Terrified by his own innate powers he has kept this black magic to himself and has refused to use it. As a result he refuses to mention these powers to his own mother. Since the discovery of his innate dark powers he has not ever used them.

As of now he has currently seem to have inherited no powers and very happily praises his fathers great legacy. Unlike his father he is a truly talented warrior known for his expertise with a katana. Heikichi and Yunosuke are very close brothers practically attached at the hip.






Illegitimate Family & Concubines

Quote
Name: Kôzuke Maru
Relation to PC: Father's Concubine
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Kôzuke Maru or as she prefer to be called 'Lady Maru' is a woman who is perhaps as horrible as Mutsohito himself. It is rare that men choose their wives but their concubines are almost always chosen. Maru was Mutsohito's first love, and she shares his ambitious desires for greater power and wealth. It has been rumored that Maru is not just the concubine of Mutsohito but also a shibobi or yakuza. These accusations have in the past earned the ire of Mutsohito himself and often result in his very liberal practice of Kiri Sute Gomen. Very few dare speak out about Lady Maru and her very suspicious nature. The family despises Maru the most out of Mutsohito's three concubines.

Quote
Name: Takashima Madoka
Relation to PC: Father's Concubine
NPC Location: Rokushima Taiyoo
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): From Courtesan to concubine, Madoka was a highly successful Geisha as well before meeting Katayama Mutsohito. It is said that her performance art was something to be greatly admired. Not only does she take on the role of concubine in the family, but Madoka has utilized her skills as a professional hostess. Managing the family's social engagements and parties. Despite Madoka's great artistic skill, and ability to host events she is ultimately unremarkable and content to serve her purpose to the family.

NPC Name: Valentin Veilleux
Relation to PC: Father, Biological, 47 years of age
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine, Dementlieu

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): The current head of the Veilleux family. Quiet and strict, yet kind and just. A hardened veteran of both war and guard duties alike. His height, stern expression, and penchant for remaining as armored as respectfully possible while in Dementlieu make him an intimidating presence at first, though in reality he is a gentle man- unless provoked. He deeply loves his children, and although he does not blame Valérie for his wife's death, he cannot help but worry deeply as she grows more and more detached. He fears losing her much in the same way.

Born a commoner, Rosaline was raised to believe that it was better to be seen than to be heard...but the lessons simply didn't stick. During her adult life, she took to exploring her creativity and became an author, specializing in stories for children- especially those surrounding heroes. While not extraordinarily outgoing, Rosaline was a happy, fun-loving woman in life, despite the sorrow of her childhood that clung to her. She was fiercely devoted to Valentin, and dotted on both Valérie and Tristan. Happiness can be fleeting when one meets heartbreak, however...

Even before his mother's passing, this youth was very much on the quiet side like his father. While he does not share his father's enthusiasm for the military practices, he can appreciate swordsmanship as an art form. He is much more like his mother when it comes to hobbies, favoring creative writing above all else. The circumstances of his mother's death were initially hidden, though he soon found out after eavesdropping on family members. He mourns Rosaline to this day, but still loves his sister.

Describe the NPC: Before her death, Adeleina was the primary caretaker of Marcel.  She was known to be a bit of a more outspoken and philanthropic after marrying into the House de Renault. 

She was alleged to have been killed by Falkovnian soldiers while she and her husband were on vacation, though the official story became she was killed by bandits due to the unreliable testimony of her child, Marcel de Renault, the only surviving witness.

Describe the NPC: Younger brother of the Baron de Lyonnias. An enigma, even amongst his insular family. Denisot did not, as so many second sons do, seek out his own glories and titles through service in the Gendarmerie. Instead the man has remained at his brother's side his many years, continuing as a bachelor indefinitely and seeming only to serve at the Baron's beck and call.

He raised Marcel himself after his parents were found dead on their vacation in the Dementlieuse countryside.  He is the closest thing to a father figure that the young Marcel had during his formative years.  Denisot was reluctant to let Marcel join the Gendarmerie Nationale in Port-a-Lucine, though eventually relented and allowed him to do so.

NPC Name: Audrey Finmarcheur
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Port-á-Lucine, Ouvier

Describe the NPC: Audrey was an average commoner woman- Married young, hardworking, calloused hands, but still having a fair-maiden face of dotted freckles and unusually harsh-ginger hair. While their father continued to do hard labor at the docks and warehouses of the Lucine, she did her best to care for and teach Clover whatever she could. With their wages unable to give him proper schooling, he'd grow up mostly home-taught basic writing skills at an amateur level, at least proving him capable enough to read and write on his own. By the time Clover was sixteen, her husband and Clover's father passed away due to a workplace incident, a mixture of his own ill body due to the poor conditions of the Ouvier, and warehouse troubles. Heartbroken, she found comfort in religion, becoming a devout believer in Hala and choosing to devote both her and her son's time to the local hospices. While Clover was taken away from the Mists at eighteen, his mother still labors and works, unknowing if her son is well.

He paid his dues, he worked his warehouse and docking job, and never complained a single bit about it. He knew things were unfair- But he never was one to break the one piece of stability they had, his wages feeding his family and keeping them off the direct streets. Things were rough, but they could've been worse had he not been working. In a long strew of overworking, he fell ill and still returned to his work. He passed shortly afterward, his physical form unable to keep up. He was buried without note.

Family Relations to Madeleine Voland

Baron Pascal Voland VI of Yvoire (age 49)
The current Baron Voland is a calm, shrewd man of measured words, traditional in his ways, and reserved affection. He stands tall, about six feet, with dark raven hair (streaks of grey, as of late), green eyes, and a somber demeanor. Many say he used to be a much more jovial man, but since the the death of his wife, it is rare to see joy in the man's reflection.

He is known, like his predecessors, for his sound and fair business practices, but travels often, taking an excessively involved hand in the running of his business affairs, rather then allowing others to go in his place. He is devout to the church of Ezra, although his actions seem to be mere tradition, rather then true faith.

Baroness Evelyne Voland (Deceased at age 31)
Evelyne Voland, formerly Evelyne Brodeur, came from a House of noble standing herself. A woman of meager stature, Fair skin, bright, clear blue eyes, waved curls of rich auburn locks, marked her as a great beauty.

An accomplished singer and artist, it was not unusual for her to sing in grand performances, with high praise from her peers. Her engagement to Baron Voland was arranged early in her life. They are said to have been close since childhood, a friendship that blossomed into love when they were old enough to marry. Tragically, the Baroness was stricken with illness a mere six years into the marriage. The exact details are unclear, only that she succumbed to death in her sleep, peacefully.

Pascal Voland VI, future Baron of Yvoire (Age 25)
A tall, handsome, charismatic young man, Pascal the Seventh holds much promise in his youth. He favors his father strongly in height and appearance, save for bright blue eyes, given to him by his deceased mother. His demeanor is kind, and serious. He is well-spoken, and has the rare gift of making people feel instantly at ease. He is very comfortable in all social circles.

While he has been said to have briefly courted a lady of standing occasionally, he seems dedicated intently to focusing his attentions on learning the family business practice, as one day it will depend on him entirely. He was a mere nine years old when his mother passed.

Madeleine Voland (Age 21) (PC)

She is said to have grown up with delicate health, and as such, suffered to be confined to home and bed with her tutors and governess frequently.

A slender, whisp of a girl, of diminutive height, she holds all of the beauty of her late mother, perhaps more, but the similarities cease there. Those who have met her speak of a shy, socially bashful woman, with a tendency to stutter when speaking. Certainly not the well-spoken, angelic voiced performer that her mother was.

All the same, she is kind and graceful, and represents her family well.

HOUSE DE CHAURET (https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=32533.msg695347#msg695347)
Camélia de Chauret

LIVING
Spoiler: show
Quote
NPC Name: Guthelaque de Chauret
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Brother of the Baron de Roquefeuil, Marciel. Guthelaque maintains a strained, but most often pleasant relationship with his daughter; his typical loudness, and her lack of clear emotion tending to put one other off. Nonetheless, he is endlessly supportive of her academic endeavors, as long as she finds a proper husband along the way. At times he will take great care to adjust his vocal tone, for her benefit.
His hair, once dark, is a striking silver brought on by stress and middle age. Much like his brother, he bears a sharp face and an expression of grim severity -- however, the angularity of his features has been reduced by his sheer weight. He tends to forgo the fashion trends of Richemuloise nobility and dresses eccentrically with bright colors and striking patterns. His voice is booming and powerful like gunfire, and so he tends towards bombastic vocabulary to complement such.

Quote
NPC Name: Lisseta de Chauret
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Despite clearly resembling her father in visage, it is Camélia’s overt mimicry of Lisetta’s disposition that is more often noted. They share a loving, if wordless, mother-daughter relationship, with Lisetta coddling her daughter constantly. Twenty-one years of clinging to her mother’s side did nothing to foster an outgoing daughter, instead leaving her with an anxious attachment, and tendency to stay silent.
To those who have managed to catch a glimpse of her, she looks almost identical to her sister Lemoura, except for the fact that her hair is stark white and pulled into a tight bun. Her dresses are of the same antiquity yet tend towards black and other drab colors. As for her voice, it is nonexistent -- she is a mute, no better than a pretty doll propped up in the background of an otherwise dour scene. Particular rumormongers claim that she is an honest-to-goodness ghost.

Quote
NPC Name: Marciel de Chauret, Baron de Roquefeuil
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Camélia’s dear uncle. Their relationship is wonderful, with a mutual understanding of one another’s emotiveness, or lack thereof. They do not tend to spend much time with one another, with the Barony’s need for constant attention, though their familial adoration remains.
A dark-haired man with one clean streak of silver denoting middle age; his features are angular, often cold in countenance, and it has been said that he lacks the capability to smile entirely. He follows the ever-shifting fashion trends of Richemuloise nobility and dresses in dark, muted colors. His voice is sharp and clear like a knife cutting through to the ears, and his words tend to reflect these very qualities.

Quote
NPC Name: Lemoura de Chauret
Relation to PC: Aunt
NPC Location: Manoir de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Lemoura shares a similar relationship with Camélia as her husband. Pleasant, familial, yet one lacking time spent with one another. She attempts to dote over her niece as Lisseta does, though perhaps not as incessantly.
Her hair is a shining platinum blonde, almost stark white, and it cascades freely down her back with the faintest of grey strands. Whereas her husband's features are sharp, hers are soft and inspire a sense of innate trust; she is the warmth to his frigidity. The dresses she wears are always at least five to ten years out-of-date and boast bright or pastel colors. Her voice is quiet and sweeter than honey, and she speaks almost too nicely to whomever she deigns to. She is the sister of Lisseta.

DEAD
Spoiler: show
Quote
NPC Name: Gregoire de Chauret ✟
Relation to PC: Grandfather
NPC Location: Cimetière de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

The old patriarch of the family; he who started it all, kicking off the house's death-spiral into their hated reputation and later obscurity. He died just five years after the family fled from Dementlieu in 746 on accusations of necromantic dabbling. His tomb in the family cemetery is dilapidated and abandoned, exemplary of the family's eagerness to escape the dark shadow he cast over their legacy.

Quote
NPC Name: Audette de Chauret ✟
Relation to PC: Grandmother
NPC Location: Cimetière de Chauret - Roquefeuil - Richemulot

Whereas Gregoire was vilified, Audette was essentially made into a martyr-like figure for the family, regarded by her children and their children as the most faithful wife of all wives. It is widely held by the surviving members of the family that she was murdered by Gregoire in their own bed for condemning his proclivities -- leading Gregoire to die of a broken heart that very night.

House Passeleau

(https://i.imgur.com/UHcdEkP.png)


PC Name : Diane Passeleau
__

NPC Name :  Serge Passeleau II
Relation to PC : Father (Alive)
NPC Location : Azure Bay near Aquitaine

Describe the NPC : This man is a 61 year old, handsome muscular scruffy looking for a noble. He has spent his whole life in the business of his family. He also looks like he is out at sea a majority of his time as well. It seems to be getting more and more these past days. This used to have thick black hair but it is graying in some areas. Despite his older features, he is still strong.

His personality is strange at the best of times.  His first love and life is of his business, then family and then workers, then his wealth.  This love for his work took him to great heights but it also made him very frugal and money conscious.  Always looking at the books, counting his ships and engaging in social affairs. 

__

NPC Name : Florence Passeleau
Relation to PC : Mother (Alive)
NPC Location : Azure Bay near Aquitaine

Describe the PC : This woman seems to be cold and thoughtful. She is quite but some say she is the true brains behind the business. Though those cold black eyes seemed to be unmerciful. It is clear that her eyes were passed on to her daughter.  It is said that Florence was married in from the Bellerose line. A long time ago. She married the man with the bright blue eyes and scruffy look. And she did it apprehensively.

Their marriage was likely not of love and more of adequate business.

__

NPC Name : Henri Passeleau
Relation to PC : Brother (Alive)
NPC Location : Port-au-Lucine

Describe the NPC : He is thirty years old and slated to inherit the Passeleau business. But he is completely  uninterested in it. He seems more interested in making sure that his sister, Diane is well taken care of. He knows that his sister has run on hard times in her time in Port, everytime she goes. So he has taken himself from their home in Azure Bay to the Port with her. And there, he resides for the time being.

Like his father, he has ice blue eyes and black hair. His features are impeccable of a Passeleau. That same ruddy look of being out at sea for too long and the wild hair to go along with it. He is tall as well.

__

NPC Name : Ines Passeleau
Relation to PC : Sister (Alive)
NPC Location : Azure Bay near Aquitaine

Describe the PC : This is the youngest Passeleau child, being at 17 years old, she is just come into her adulthood. Strangely enough, she has bright red hair and black eyes. The red hair did raise some eyebrows but her father seemed to shrug it off. This young lady seems to be quite interested in the faith of Ezra and abides by it daily. She has a happy demeanor and likes to frolic in the fields of their estate with her bare feet. Everyone shrugs at this, as it is quite normal behavior for her.

__

NPC Name : Oscar Passeleau
Relation to PC : Possible son (Alive)
NPC Location : Azure Bay near Aquitaine

Describe the NPC : This child is four years old. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Some say it is the new son of the Baron, but those within the estate will know the truth of it. He is rumored bastard son of Diane and Jerome de la Salle, Chevalier de Seimarie. Jerome de la Salle died April 17th, 773. The child was born supposedly out of wedlock but as a child of love. Some say this is why she was gone for the past five years.

This child is often seen with a little toy sword in hand, fighting with his grandfather in the courtyard.

She got married to a merchant from Krezk a couple of years before the rebellion and left with him. She would send money to the family every now and then, but she lost connection to the rest of the family after the rebellion. Unlike the rest of the women in the family, she was modest in her behavior and is content in her marriage and life in Krezk. Though she is very concerned about the rest of the family due to her being unable to reach any of them.

Cezar Pâslaru


Matei Pâslaru (737, 41 y/o at time of death)
Father
Barovia, Vallaki, Docks
Ex-fisherman, Drunk Dead
Once a contented patriarch, divorce soured him into a senseless anger. In it's wake, he drove many away. Since then, he had his legs broken by one stronger than him in uncertain and petty circumstances. Scarcely visited, the crippled old fisherman's home reeks of rural alcohol and filthy clothes. Some may take pity on him, but an implicit icy pact between onlookers lets him be until he- they hope- quietly croaks his last.
In 778, he finally died. Very few people know. Even less know what was done with him, or where he was buried. What is certain is that it was a nameless headstone.

Sandra Tismaneanu (739, 39 y/o)
Mother
Invidia, Karina
Ex-housewife, Swindler
A beguiling woman of foxes' smile who won't let life pass her by. When she saw the opportunity to escape a stagnant domestic life, she left with a burly Invidian wine merchant. Since then, she's enjoyed being the one who's served; ever indulgent, she freely berates the help. She'll leave again, if it suits her. A true individualist.

Cosmin Pâslaru
(755, 22 y/o)
Older Brother
Barovia, Krofburg
Miner
A soot-faced and broad-shouldered youth who decided to follow his friends up the Baratak and try his luck at the Bellegarde mines. Like many, he is ruthlessly exploited. Despite everything, he endures and stays at his post. Bad tongues wag, and they say he cares for a malformed caliban babe: The light of his life, whom he daren't name until they survive a few winters more.
As of 778, she has been named Nicoletta. She has walked her first steps already, making both Cezar and Cosmin very proud.

Combined with her mothers frequent quests, this developed a wide sense of the people housed in the Vallaki slums.

Artaxerxes Khorzavi



Matriarch
Quote
Name: Haurvatat Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Grandmother
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Haurvatat became the head of the Khorzavi house hold after the fall of her father. Picking up the pieces was no easy task for Haurvatat but her efforts were met with grand success. After assuming power she hid a treasure trove of arcane artefacts during the magical ban; but when Hazlik  lifted the ban this collection of contraband became great wealth which help fuel and elevate the Khorzavi family to some of its former glory. Haurvatat now plans a careful operation amongst her lineages; she seeks to elevate House Khorzavi to newer unheard of heights and plans to use her grand children as a means to an end to get this power. Haurvatat is a cruel and cold old crone who does not like to be challenged. Haurvatat wields great social and arcane powers and as a result thinks highly of herself. Haurvatat plays a vast game with many moving parts.  Haurvatat had three children with her late husband Ziamak. Through these three children she has planned three lineages all dedicated to a specific focus.

The Lineage of Iron was planned with the intent that their line would pursue religious wealth and power. Children from this lineage are instilled more heavily than the others with the Church of Iron's laws and faith life. The youth from this branch of the family become zealots at a very early age and are always eager to fight for God. The Lineage of Iron began with Mazyar Khorzavi; son of Haurvatat. Haurvatat's goals involved seeking a strong foothold within in the Hazlani church in order to attain political and social power within the realm. Mazyar became quite the gudkaedes and his arranged marriage was with the woman now known as Zari Khorzavi. Zari is a konduktor of the iron faith meaning she has taken a vow of silence and has devoted her life to the study of death. None of Zari's children have ever heard their mother speak. Their marriage is quite literally War and Death unified. With the guidance of their parents and grandmother children of the iron lineage become religious zealots of the worst variety.

The Lineage of Knowledge was centered around arcane studies and demanded constant practice with the arcane arts. Children from this lineage are pushed into academics quickly with the intent that they will become great scholars and academics of Hazlik's 'Red Academy'. The Lineage of knowledge began with Ozraa Khorzavi; of whom Haurvatat saw much of herself in. For Ozraa every night was reading from dusty old grimoires from witches long past. Ozraa's marriage was arranged with Sadeq Qanbari a fellow student of whom both parents knowingly but secretly kept as bitter rivals for the entirety of their education with knowledge of the arrangement of their marriage only being brought up later in life. In a questionable and curious turn of events Sadeq's family was crushed days before the wedding. All living heirs killed in an incident involving Rashemi rebels; and charges of corruption were used to legally seize the families assets. With no family backing Sadeq had to admit his family's extinction and took on the Khorzavi name. The two are now married and while they remain as competitive as they were in youth, Sadeq lives in Ozraa's shadow and at her whim. For without Ozraa, Sadeq would lost it all. Their competitive nature has been passed down to their children who they urgently educate in hopes of creating future Instructors of the Academy who could appeal to King Hazlik directly.

The Lineage of Industry. While not as prestigious as the other two lineages who were met with fierce encouragement and studying. The lineage of industry was developed to be the family financial backbone. The Lineage of Industry began with Youssef Khorzavi. Haurvatat found Youssef to be a fiercely intelligent boy but lacking the discipline towards religion or the arcane arts. Where Youssef was skilled was his ability to be a highly outspoken and extroverted individual. Youssef never shied away from making friends, and making deals. These were promising traits for the young boy and so Haurvatat began cultivating his mind and treating him with some more lenience than his other two siblings. While they studied holy books and grimoires, Youssef was playing chess with his mother or sitting in on business arrangements. Marriage was arranged between him and an family just emerging from the high merchant class. This marriage ended up cultivated other traits however; as Youssef would find himself involved in the shady business of his wifes family. Deeply frowned upon by his siblings and seen as inferior Youssef and his wife Fariba are actually quite happily married despite the scrutiny around them. Neither are afraid to cut necessary corners but do so with calculation. Youssef owns many businesses including: opium production, viticulture, and security services. The children of this lineage are taught by their father directly and nurtured by their mother. Encouraged to be diplomatic and worldly while remembering the superiority of the Mulan.

These three lineages serve as Haurvatat's key towards propelling House Khorzavi to new heights and allow Haurvatat to honor her ancestors as she has always sought...

Quote
Name: Mazyar Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Son of Haurvatat and father of Artxerxes. Mazyar was selected as well to marry his wife Zari at a young age. Haurvatat was successful in arranging a marriage with the Sly'var Kontor's own daughter and while she saw this as a great success she also saw this as an opportunity that she needed to make good on. Upon hearing of Zari's ordeal of only earning wealth upon completeing her training as a Konduktor; Haurvatat did the same with her son except she would have him enroll in the life of the gudkaedes. Mazyar trained among their rank until he earned his title of 'Gudkaede' and even performed some tours of duty in putting down rebellious Rashemi. As a father Mazyar was a cold and distant man but fierce and rage field. Strict with discipline, and a very harsh hand. Mazyar was seen as a terrifying demon of a father whose children could only run from him to the cold wintery arms of their death like mother. Every day was a constant reminder of what awaited sinners in the Hell of Slaves.

Quote
Name: Zari Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: The mother of Artaxerxes, selected for marriage to her husband at a young age. Zari's parents were clergy with Sly'var's own fane and the emphasis on their daughters salvation became their greatest priority. They did not want a daughter who would enjoy Hazlans arts or culture or flaunt herself with material things. Instead they wanted her soul to be bound in iron chains. A willing and dutiful servant to the Iron Tyrant. Zari was denied her wealth until she completed her training with the order of the Konduktors. Reluctantly but also with very little choice she followed the monks on their journey towards enlightenment. When her training was complete and she became a full member of the order what stood in her place was a tall black clad specter of a woman. Always dressed in funereal garments and a veil over unweeping eyes, perhaps the only color on her body was the blood red lipstick she worse; as though to say even in death one should look good. As a mother she was a sight of terror for young Artaxerxes. In a way her very image personified God and death. Silent, always watching ever looming. Despite this appearance she was motherly and tending; but her punishments were as cold and icy as her touch. Neither her husband, nor her children have ever heard her speak.



The Lineage of Knowledge

Quote
Name: Ozraa Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Aunt (Father's Sister)
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Aggressive and proud; Ozraa is the arcane wielding daughter of Haurvatat. Ozraa's ego is perhaps the only thing larger than her spell book but she wields both to terrifying ends. From youth she was forced into competition with her now husband Sadeq. Ozraa did genuinely prove to be the stronger arcanist between the two but even that was not enough for Ozraa. After their marriage Sadeq would hear crushing news as his family was slain in a rashemi lead uprising that saw his families estate torched to the ground. Documents were found revealing the corrupt nature of her husbands parents. This collapse of her husbands family and estate was met with crocodile tears by Ozraa as she now hand him under her full control. In the end she won, but despite winning she is still troubled by what had happened and has doubts about if what reportedly occurred actually did occur. Despite defeating her long time rival she grew up with it was still not enough. Ozraa would take to abusing Sadeq and commanding him using his helpless position to her advantage. This cruelty however is not approached without a degree of caution though. Afterall, how long is it until Sadeq decides he's finally had enough and retaliates? Only time will tell.

Quote
Name: Sadeq Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Uncle (Husband of Ozraa Khorzavi)
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Sadeq Khorzavi is the name he took on after his marriage to Ozraa Khorzavi. Originally it was her that was going to take his name of Ezkhendari; but when Rashemi rebels supposedly killed his family and his assets were seized he could not help but suspect foul play. As the last of the Ezkhendari family he had no choice but to abandon his name and take on the Khorzavi name. Sadeq was immediately met with abuse as he entered the marriage. Ozraa's abuse extended beyond social subtleties and in private he would be beaten when she was truly upset. Sadeq lives in her shadow and he hates it. Sadeq is convinced his wife had his family killed and assets seized but has neither the evidence or the strength to do so. In his quiet moments as few and rare as they are he investigates the night of the assault seeking answers to who truly destroyed his family. Though he fears time will soon consume all if any remaining evidence. When he's had the opportunity he has tried to train his children with a degree of closeness. Sadeq was interested in maintaining a close relationship with his children a quality their mother lacked strongly in hopes that they will be loyal to him rather than Ozraa. Over all the marriage is uneasy and delicate.

Quote
Name: Youssef Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Uncle (Brother to Mazyar)
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Met with disdain by his other two siblings for his treatment growing up and the kind of work he does; Youssef however takes his siblings disdain right on the chin and with a big toothy grin on his face. Youssef maintains valued status within his house with his mind set of 'family first'. Maybe he was treated with more lenience and with less stressful skill sets; but Youssef is and always will be doing what he deems as necessary for his family. In many ways he truly is Haurvatat's prodigal child as he shares her vision for an elevated Khorzavi household. Youssef is patient in nature and is more than happy to make dealings with just about anyone regardless of their background or where they come from. This more permissive mind set has allowed him to achieve great wealth on his own and with the assistance of his in-laws. Of all the children Youssef has the best relationship with his spouse as they took time to be together, nurture their youth, and have spent a great deal of time with them. As Haurvatat was with him, he is lenient towards his own children for the most part encouraging them that sometimes the best solutions are the unorthodox ones. Though Youssef despite being friendly and happy has a cold streak that would be surprising; given his out ward nature. Few have seen the sadistic side of him it is only spoke about in rumors amongst higher up Rashemi employees. It is said that those who so displease him are taken away and never return. though no one ever can truly confirm these rumors as he never brings this side of him to his home or territory. Youssef truly does prefer the carrot to the stick when conducting business; but by no means is he against seeing the sticks use to cruel and vicious ends.


Quote
Name: Fariba Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Aunt (Wife of Youssef)
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Fariba Khorzavi lives in a happy marriage with her husband Youssef. Fariba has a great joy for material and luxurious things. Though she does not forget the sentimental. As a good mother should she spent a lot of time with her children who have naturally come to appreciate her as both a mother and a guide. Additionally Fariba is fond of the arts and culture of Hazlan often ready, and enthusiastic about hosting large gatherings and parties. It can be said that Fariba's parties are some of the best that Hazlan has to offer. Additionally, Fariba is quite the artist and enjoy painting as a hobby when she does get some time to herself. Altough despite this love of arts and finer things; by no means is Fariba content to lounge about and enjoy decadence. Happily she stands at her husbands side, their hands held, and fingers locked. Fariba is quite the business woman just as much he is the business man. Fariba is not afraid to be cold or cruel either if she needs to be. Those who serve Youssef's end of the family even rumor that her wrath is worse than his. That said, she prefers to conduct business exactly as her husband would. The two are very much on the same page and they are happy about it.

Quote
Name: Ziamak Khorzavi
Relation to PC: Grandfather
NPC Location: Syl-var; Hazlan
Describe the NPC: Ziamak was Haurvatat's husband. In life Ziamak was a merchant of considerable value who kept to himself for most of his time and this is exactly what Haurvatat preferred. Ziamak focused on making money for the family and took his wifes name, while Haurvatat lead the family as its matriarch. Ziamak died of illness years prior leaving behind only three children and only three lineages with Haurvatat to work with.

Neferet Sadek

Quote
NPC Name: Akil Sadek
Relation to PC: Great-Great-Grandfather
NPC Location: Dead. Location of remains lost to the sands of time.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Akil was a handsome, evil, and deviant man. He actively sought forbidden knowledge of magic in the tombs of the dead--a major sin in Akiri culture. Because of his actions, the Sadek line remains poor and just now beginning to recover from the sins of their ancestor. Even so, despite the stigma losing its grasp, some still view the Sadeks with suspicion.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): A handsome, poor millet farmer who has tried to give his daughter all the edges to a fruitful life. He encouraged her to study hard, learn the history of their people, and even saved what little money he could to pay for an advanced mathematical education in hopes Neferet would become a merchant. Iu-Amun is extremely devout to the good aspects of the Akiri pantheon, hoping to change unpopular opinions. He does not get along with Neferet at all, they are constantly bickering at one another.

Quote
NPC Name: Tiaa Sadek

Iu-Amun had the local clergy visit, but it was to no avail; Tiaa's sickness continues to get worse by the day. They both believe her sickness is a curse from the gods because of their wayward daughter who decided to leave instead of stay and help the family. Tiaa, like her husband, is extremely devout to the gods, but is much more open to interpretations than her pious husband.

Misha Zarovan

Quote

NPC Name: Alev Zarovan
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Unknown, yet still travelling with the Zarovan tribe, in Barovia.

Describe the NPC: The source of Misha's Vistana blood, Alev was and is one of the traders of the Zarovan tasque near the town of Vernik. With the common aquiline features of his people, dusky skin and raven black hair, he had the same striking, exotic charm, even now at his current age of 48. He sold trinkets and charms to outsiders, some perhaps of real value, and most fake. That is how he met Misha's mother, who was struggling with nightmares, and he'd give her his company after getting to know the poor woman. Alev did not care much about the mother after Misha's birth, but she was of his blood, and he'd raise her until the age of twelve, while she occasionally went to visit her mother. He knew how to use his words, and haggle, and was and is known for his guile in that sense.

Quote

NPC Name: Valena Nolescu
Relation to PC: Mother

Describe the NPC: A dark brown haired woman, now at the age of 38. Reserved and quiet, the memories of the past haunting her wake still. She was especially downtrodden after her lover, Alev, left her and took her child, only seeing her a couple times a month. Though when Misha was sent off to live with her, she could not bear with keeping the child resembling her Alev near her for long, never opening the door again to the 13 year old girl after a heated argument. It wasn't worth having her so close, when Alev wasn't bringing her over, just painful. She still resides in the oppressive lands of the Tyrant in Vernik, her sanity fading away with each passing year.

NPC Name: Acalya Zarovan
Relation to PC: Sister, Father's Side, Vistani

Older than Misha, she always kept her distance from the girl, except to teach the essential customs of living with the tribe, until Misha's 12th year. Despite her distance and cold stature, she provided Misha with knowledge a mother might teach a daughter. Acalya is currently 30 years old, and married within the tasque, busy with raising her own children. She has similar features to her dad.

Petrov Petrovescu XIV



Quote
Name: Petrov
Relation to PC: 'Legendary' Ancestor?
NPC Location: Unknown (Deceased if real)

Describe the NPC: Not much is known about the 'legendary' Petrov; but what is known is the romanticized stories of his exploits. Passed down legends claim Petrov was over ten feet tall, could lift entire houses with his hands, sneezed lightning, and gained the adoration of all the doamnas in the village. This of course couldn't possibly be true but nevertheless the family clung to tales of it's great founder. The fate of Petrov is unknown. Family members whoever doubted these claims and exploits were usually silenced quickly and told to be proud of where the family came from. Naturally, very few of the Petrovescu family would come out to openly deny these claims. In the eyes of the Petrovescu family; Petrov was a legendary folk hero, war hero, and proud Barovian. The reality is that Petrov may not even have been a real person; infact it's more likely he wasn't.

Quote
Name: Petrov Petrovescu X
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Vallaki Graveyard (Deceased)

Describe the NPC: The tenth man in the family to wear the name 'Petrov'. Petrov X was a hard working man with a passion for smithing and metallurgy. Although his business was not a roaring successl; Petrov was a man with an excellent attitude that made him a success. Even though he owned very little he had his family and that was frankly enough. Petrov X weighed success entirely by the love of his family. It was truly a sad day when Petrov X passed on.

Quote
Name: Estera Petrovescu
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Vallaki Graveyeard (Deceased)

Describe the NPC: Loving wife to Petrov X. Estera was a sweet woman who loved telling the oral history about their great ancestor Petrov. Proud wife and mother to the latest of the Petrovescu family. Estera unfortunately fell ill when the Petrov boys were just young men when illness struck her.

Quote
Name: Petrov Petrovescu XI
Relation to PC: Brother
NPC Location: Vallaki Graveyeard (Deceased)

Describe the NPC: The first born son of Petrov X and the brother of Petrov Petrovescu XII, XIII, and XIV. Petrov XI was a man proud of his name and the stories of his 'legendary' ancestor and would often brag about being the first Petrov since his father Petrov X. When outlanders absolutely destroyed his family's labour business; Petrov XI strove to be a hero like his great ancestor Petrov before him. While he may not have been ten feet tall or able to sneeze lightning; he did however make great sacrifices to see his younger siblings survive. Instead of eating, he would pass on his food to his other siblings. Unfortunately starvation led to his demise. Loyal to the very cold and bitter end.

Quote
Name: Petrov Petrovescu XII
Relation to PC: Brother
NPC Location: Vallaki Graveyeard (Deceased)

Describe the NPC: The second son of Petrov Petrovescu X and the brother of Petrov Petrovescu XI, XIII, and XIV. Petrov XII was the 'handsome' Petrov and often spent his time socializing. Yet despite his love of large groups and winning personality; he would always put his family first. When the labor company fell into decline after strong outlander competition utterly destroyed the business; Petrov XII would spend his time foraging for the family bringing them berries and fruit as well as other edible plants after Petrov XI could no longer afford food for the family. Petrov XII was doing well until a hungry bear had caught out poor Petrov XII encroaching into its territory. The bear responded to this trespassing fatally.

Quote
Name: Petrov Petrovescu XIII
Relation to PC: Brother
NPC Location: Unknown (Probably Deceased)

Describe the NPC: The third son of Petrov Petrovescu X and the brother of Petrov Petrovescu XI, XII, and XIV. Petrov III was a quiet man who was enthralled by legends of his ancestor Petrov. Always dreaming about going on a big adventure like his ancestor had before him. Petrov XIII had been saving up money for a small education and then had dreams to travel the world. These hopeful ambition would be brutally dashed once outlander businesses trampled over the success of his family's own business. Petrov XIII had to give up all of his saved money so that his family could eat for a few more months. When his two other siblings had perished; Petrov XIII was over taken with grief and left his remaining brother Petrov XIV and was last seen heading towards Lake Zarovich. No one has seen him since his sudden departure.

Tamara Lucanescu


Quote

The Lucanescus are a family that live in the municipality of Berez. They are a moderately prosperous peasant family, well prosperous by the standards of barovian peasants. Their farm supports the various crops such as turnips, potatoes, cabbage and other staple crops of Barovia. Beyond the crops, they do have a couple of farm animals, some sheep, chickens, and an oxen who helps with the ploughing.

Unlike most other barovian families the Lucanescus are followers of Ezra. While they follow the first sect, the family isn't the most theologically educated and often mixes in plenty of Barovian superstitions liberally with their Ezrite belies.  The family does keep a small shrine in their house for prayers. Hardly a fancy house shrine, but it does have a hand carved wooden statue of Ezra that they believe will help protect the family from danger, especially from Gundarakites.

The family suffered recently during the occupation by the Black Army of Gundark. While the farm itself suffered some losses and destruction during the war. The worst was losing several family members to the Black Army including their kindly Grandfather Alexandru and the gentle giant Iulian. This has left deep seated loathing for the Gundarakites within the family.

NPC Name: Alexandru Lucanescu
Relation to PC: GrandFather
NPC Location: Berez - Graveyard
Describe the NPC: Alexandru was a kindly man, and beloved by the whole family. He was known as a hardworker, helping to make sure that the farm ran smoothly, and also one who believed in teaching literacy to his family. He was one of the Lucanescus who was killed by the Gundarakites during the time that they occupied Berez.

NPC Name: Rodika Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Grandmother
NPC Location: Berez - family farm
Describe the NPC: Bunacia Lucanescu, Rodika is kindly doting on her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She has a love of telling various stories. Yet for all her kindness, the death of her husband, Alexandru, weighs heavily upon her elderly heart and has left her much more cranky.

NPC Name: Petru Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Strong, Stern, and stubborn are the three words that describe Petru. Petru is the patriarch of the family since Alexandru. By and large he is a traditional Barovian father for the most part, baring the family piety to Ezra.

NPC Name: Constanța Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
A stout woman, she leads the family in the various women's work of the farm, such as spinning the textiles that are needed and making sure that the kitchen is run properly. Similar to her husband she can be quite the stubborn woman.

NPC Name: Horatiu Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Older Brother 1
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Horatiu is the eldest child of Constanta and Petru. A gruff, hardworking man who spends plenty of time tilling the fields and helping Petru run the family farm. He can be rather stand-offish to those outside of Berez, even other barovians.

NPC Name: Ștefana Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Sister in Law
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
A nice young woman who married Horatiu. She rather likes reading and telling stories. She is often found helping around the farm tending to some of the farm animals along with other 'women's work' that has to be done. She has some family that lives in Vallaki and occasionally will use these connections to help during big market days.

NPC Name: Lyssa Lucanescu and Ovidiu Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Niece and Nephew - Twins
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm

NPC Name: Iulian Lucanescu
Relation to PC:  Older Brother 2
NPC Location: Berez - Graveyard
Describe the NPC:
Iulian was a kind man. A tall man, who loved Draguta.  He was a gentle giant, but despite his gentleness he was headstrong. During the occupation, he was among those that got into conflicts with the Gundarakite Black Army that led to his death, not long after his daughter was born. He was buried in the Berez Graveyard.

Iulian helped to teach Tamara how to use weapons to protect the farm, most notably the Halberd. A skill that Tamara treasures.

NPC Name: Draguta Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Sister in Law
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Draguta and Iulian were childhood sweethearts. Everyone knew that they would eventually be married, and on that day everything was happy. Joining the family and pitching in to help out around the house with textile work, she was happy. Then came the Occupation by the black army. During the occupation, her beloved Iulian was one of the Lucanescu men taken from her, leaving her grief stricken, and hate filled towards gundarakites.

NPC Name: Lucian Lucanescu and Iuliana Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Nephew and Niece(children of Iluian and Draguta)
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Lucian and Iuliana are children of Draguta and Iulian. Lucian is the older child. Because she was born after Iulian was killed by the Black Army, Iuliana has never truly known her father beyond what the family has told of her. Her older brother Lucian has more of a memory, vague as it is.

NPC Name: Ylenia Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Younger Sister
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Ylenia is the second daughter of Constanta and Petru. She and Tamara were born just two years apart. Where Tamara is the strong sister, and Luminta is the bookish sister, Ylenia is the pretty sister. She often likes to flirt with the other boys in the village and is talented at weaving.

Of Tamara's many siblings and cousins, Ylenia was the one who she didn't get along with. Growing up together they had a classic sisterly rivalry with one another, often bickering and annoying one another.

NPC Name: Luminița Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Younger Sister
NPC Location: Berez - Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
Luminița is the third daughter of Constanta and Petru. She looks up to Tamara, and admires her. Of the various children, she is probably the most bookish and the most pious. Often spending her free time reading the books of Ezra.

NPC Name: Vasile Lucanescu
Relation to PC: Younger Brother
NPC Location: Berez -  Family Farm
Describe the NPC:
The youngest of the Lucanescu kids. Vaisle is a playful child who likes playing pranks on his siblings and cousins.


NPC Name: Nicolae Mazilescu
Relation to PC:  Sweetheart
NPC Location: Berez - Graveyard
Describe the NPC:
Nicolae was a young man. Strong and handsome. Hardworking and gentle. He had a small business as a barber, helping to ensure that men could proudly wear their moustaches. As children and teens, Tamara and Nicolae were close. Though they never even got engaged, the talk of the village was that it was just a matter of time before Tamara married Nicolae.

This all changed with the war and the occupation by the Gundarakite Black Army. Nicolae never liked the Gundarakites and the war brought devastation. The monster attacks but in the end as the black army retreated that he was cut down. Killed by the black army during a period of mob violence. A death that Tamara has never forgotten, or forgiven.


There is also numerous cousins, uncles, and aunts in the Lucanescu family.

Quote
NPC Name: Henri Quesnel
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location: Quesnel Manor, Chateaunoir
Description: Henri is the oldest son of Gaston but due to his poor health he is unlikely to inherit the title of Baronet.

NPC Location: Chateaufaux

Quote
NPC Name: Serge Quesnel
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location: Quesnel Manor, Chateaunoir
Description: Serge is the second son of Gaston and known to be perhaps the biggest spender of the family.

Quote
NPC Name: Lucien Quesnel
Relation to PC: Great Uncle
NPC Location: Family trading house in Mordent
Description: Lucien is the younger brother of Gaston, an experienced and shrewd trader and banker. Of all of Gaston's son, Lucien only truly respects Henri because of his business acumen.

Quote
NPC Name: Lysette Quesnel
Relation to PC: Cousin
NPC Location: Unknown
Description: Lysette is a daughter of Serge who went missing when she and her mother were travelling to Richemulot a few years ago. The mother was found murdered, but Lysette hade tracelessly vanished, presumed kidnapped for ransom. The lead of the family Gaston claims no demands have reached him, but some of the family suspect he is withholding information and refusing to pay. And so Lysette's unknown fate is a topic of much grief and anger within the family even to this day.

Vesnia Endymion

Quote
Name: Xenophon Duskrose
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Neblus, Darkon
Occupation: Sentinel of the Eternal Order
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Xenophon Duskrose is an elf of stern countenance and judging nature, with most of his time spent attending to the Shrine of the Spirits, the Eternal Order’s temple in the mostly-elven city of Neblus. Xenophon and his daughter are not on speaking terms, with Xenophon having harsh words for Vesnia when she got romantically involved with and married a human.

Quote
Name: Ventusa Duskrose
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Deceased
Occupation: (Formerly) Captain in the Imperial Elven Navy
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Ventusa and her crew were led by cruel happenstance into the Demiplane of Dread centuries ago, her starwing, the Intrepid, crash-landing in Mordent, resulting her and her crew being marooned. A cold welcome from the dour Mordentish nobility resulted in them eventually venturing north to Darkon when the Mists revealed it. It was not long after arriving in Darkon that Ventusa’s crew had their memories of their lives spent in the phlogiston eroded and replaced by memories of a life lived in Darkon. Realizing what was happening, Ventusa saw her memoirs put to parchment.

In time, even she couldn’t outrun Darkon’s curse; what was once full memories of adventures in Wildspace became vague recollections of time spent at sea. Her memoirs, later discovered by her daughter, were thought by author and reader both to be a short-lived foray into fiction writing, though Vesnia did find great joy in reading them.

Quote
Name: Bryce Endymion
Relation to PC: Husband
NPC Location: Il-Aluk Meridian, Necropolis
Occupation: N/A
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Vesnia’s human husband, whom she lost in the Requiem. Despite her frequent attempts to pretend otherwise, not a day goes by where she doesn’t think of him, and wonder about his ultimate fate. As it turns out, Vesnia’s worst fears are a reality: Bryce isn’t dead, but neither is he alive. Like the other inhabitants of Il-Aluk, he has joined the Slain.

Relation to PC: Foster father
NPC Location: A small hamlet in the Wachter lands
Occupation: Farmer, serf
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Ioan had always been cold towards his adopted son, though never outwardly cruel.

NPC Location: A small hamlet in the Wachter lands

Ginevra Trentavasi

Jacobo Trentavasi (45 y/o)
Father
Vor Ziyden, Borca
Ex-militia, Woodsman
An silent man, fond of contemplation and secrets. It is said that once he was a militiaman, as it is his bloodline's tradition stretching as far back as the Falkovnia's first incursions in Borcan soil; but he never speaks of that time. What he does show is his love for black powder, especially his musket, which he takes great pleasure in caring for. He has no great ambitions beyond living a pleasurable pastoral life. He also cares for a truffle hog named Bruno which he uses to find floral reagents for his wife's business.

Colleta da Desiderato (48 y/o)
Mother
Vor Ziyden, Borca
Accountant, Apothecary
A calculating and cold person, even to the extent of not displaying affection for her children. Her two greatest friends are objects: her abacus, and the tools she uses to man the cauldron. Mentored by her mother Madelena at a young age, she's spearheaded the growth of the family's coffers, attempting to escape the life of a typical wretched Borcan peasant. Her greatest ambition is to become a stapan through acquiring the leases of the land her home sits on, plus the lands around it.

Madelena Dente (73 y/o)
Grandmother
Vor Ziyden, Borca
Apothecary
A scraggy old woman and an expert at the cauldron. She's a living encyclopedia on roots, leaves, fungus, and others. She spent her youth working as a midwife, which led to learning the apothecaries' trade: turning toxins into contraceptives and other medicines. She's a severe teacher and a devout Ezrite, claiming her father aided in the construction of the Great Cathedral. The man was certainly a mason, but whether Madelena's pious boasts are true remains unclear.

Lisabetta Trentavasi (19 y/o)
Younger sister
Lechberg, Borca
Actress
A willful and charismatic young woman. She never enjoyed the trade of herbology, nor Madelena's strict teachings. Because of this, she ran away with a lover to a more urban town where she could learn to be an actress. For a year, nobody in the family except Antonolo knew where she was; she keeps him as a confidant, while her relationship with her parents and grandmother remains strained to this day.

Antonolo Trentavasi (28 y/o)
Older brother
Lechberg or Levkarest, Borca
Mercenary
An enormous, heartless man with a keen sense for border conflicts. He goes wherever he senses his pockets will grow fuller, whether it be the northern lowlands to tax Falkovnian merchants, or south to track Invidian foes. When he rarely visits his family, it's to raid the pantry and heft a sack of gold pieces at the table; a habit which ensures Lisabetta's education despite the ups and downs of Colleta's business.

Klara Leitenberger

Quote
NPC Name: Eckehard and Veronica Leitenberger
Relation to PC: Father and Mother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine Falkovnian Ghetto
Describe the NPC:
Eckehard and his wife Veronica are refugees from Falkovnia. Born in Falkovnia, the two were set for a life of misery, agony and suffering. They took a great risk running from Drakov and escaping to Dementlieu. They are grateful for their life in Dementlieu, regarding it as a much better life than in Falkovnia. They are hardworking people, hoping to build a better life in port-a-Lucine; they have little love for their homeland regarding it just as a place of misery. They are grateful that unlike either of them that their children, who were born in Dementlieu don't have to wear the infamous brand.

They love their daughter very much, however they don't like that Klara wants to be a famous stage magician and disapprove of it. They want her to have a good respectable job like a laundress or working in the guildhall. They want her to have a respectable job that can help feed their family and that being a stage magician is just wasting what little money she does earn.

NPC Name: Hensel Leitenberger
Relation to PC: Older Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine Falkovnian Ghetto
Describe the NPC:
Brash, hot headed, and strong. Hansel is the eldest brother. Of the Leitenberger children, he is the most tempestuous, often getting into scraps with others in the neighborhood and others that come into the neighborhood    but he is also one to jump to the defense of his relatives when they are in danger.  Hansel like most of the Leitenbergers works doing typical poor jobs at the guildhalls

NPC Name: Greta Leitenberger
Relation to PC: Sister
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine Falkovnian Ghetto
Describe the NPC:
A quiet bookish girl. She has always liked reading whatever books she could get. She hopes to one day be a teacher or even study at the university. Studying at the University is a pipe dream for the Leitenbergers, to even think of being that rich is something they know is outside of their possibility. So Greta takes solace in her few books she has and helping the Halans out when she has some free time from work.

House Épineux of Chateaufaux
Régine & Rosalie Épineux



Immediate Family
The Main Line

 
Quote
NPC Name: Clotaire Épineux
Relation to PC: Grandfather (70)
NPC Location: Maison Épineux; Chateaufaux, Dementlieu
Occupation: Medical Physician
A rather tall man of greying hair and severe visage, the Baronet Épineux seems to take immense pride in the work of both himself and his household. He is a decidedly austere creature, his high expectations displayed in a strictness like no other. Those of his household are frightened of even the notion of failing him. He is not one to smile, only rarely caught twisting his lips into a grim expression of self-centred pride. He speaks firmly, his voice booming in a way that ensures it shall cut through even the loudest of conversations, and carry throughout any building.
 ✦ Clotaire is prone to outbursts of anger and dismay. He does not take disappointment or failure well, and will berate those who hold differing views to him. He is obsessed with his lineage.

Quote
NPC Name: Faustine Épineux, née Chaufourier
Relation to PC: Grandmother (62)
NPC Location: Maison Épineux; Chateaufaux, Dementlieu
Occupation: Accoucheuse, non-practicing
The matriarch of the Épineux household is nothing if not an extension of her husband. She shares in his pride, his disappointment, and his unforgiving, unyielding expectations. Nonetheless, where Clotaire demands attention in his conversations, Faustine is quiet and precise with every piece of her wording; speaking only when she finds it necessary. She believes herself an erudite, and thus her words are often laced with painful pity, as if she looks down on those around her. She wears her dark hair high, often in an archaic coiffure; sometimes powdered, sometimes not.
 ✦ Faustine’s ability to empathize seems incredibly off, stifled by the loss of many, many children. Much like her husband, she is terribly obsessed with her children carrying the bloodline.

Quote
NPC Name: Achille Épineux
Relation to PC: Father (43)
NPC Location: Port-à-Lucine, Dementlieu
Occupation: Medical Physician
The Épineux heir is a decidedly serious man. He stands tall and strong much alike his father, yet often lacks the severity in his expressions; he is a man softened around the edges. A medical doctor - even if one not often practicing - he dresses in smart, fashionable clothes often favouring darker teals, blacks, and creams. While loathe to display his personal sensitivities whilst lucid, the man is known to show his appreciation of his wife. For a marriage arranged, the pair seem to oddly enjoy one another’s company. It is almost as if they truly care for one another.
 ✦ Rumors flow about the heir’s less-than-admirable grasp on his sanity. He is prone to episodes involving intense astrological delusions and paranoia, during which his wife is his only solace.

Quote
NPC Name: Gervaise Épineux, née Benneteau
Relation to PC: Mother (39)
NPC Location: Port-à-Lucine, Dementlieu
Occupation: Alienist, non-practicing
A smart, hands-on doctoresse, Gervaise is a woman who makes do with what she has. She is overbearingly strict to the point of acting cold, dedicated to ensuring her daughters are focused on academia: not wishing for them to follow in their uncle's disappointment. Only her daughters, that is, as any sickly son born of her womb is coddled with overt favouritism and able to do as he pleases. She is the bearer of an encroaching difference, a softness that is a welcome change from the typical Épineux severity; a lively, spirited face marred by exhaustion, passed on through her children. Gervaise is the younger sister of Isabeau, as noted by their nearly identical resemblance.
 ✦ Nicknamed ‘the Moon’ by her ailing husband, Gervaise contrastingly seems to have a solid hold on her mind. She abandoned her alienist profession to care for both husband and son.

Quote
NPC Name: Clotaire Épineux II
Relation to PC: Brother, Younger (10)
NPC Location: Port-à-Lucine, Dementlieu
Not much is to be said about the beloved Épineux son, most likely due to a lack of public appearances. He is most often cradled by his mother’s side; the product of parental coddling, he is a slight boy of barely ten years. His mother dresses him in the best suits the modiste may offer, causing him to appear a smart little man despite his frailty. Clotaire is a sweet thing despite his spoiled life, quiet, kind and shy. The 'thing he enjoys most in the world' is watching the Port-city's bay, oftentimes begging for his elder sisters to sit with him - and his mother too, of course!
 ✦ Another victim of dreaded consumption, the poor boy is lucky to have made it this far. He bares plenty of scars from such an ailment; a soft hoarseness to both breathing and speech.

The beloved first child of Achille and Gervaise, born after a cacophony of increasingly troubled pregnancies. His birth was a cause of celebration for the bloodline-obsessed family - all of whom ignored how his birthing almost ended his poor mother. He was well loved; coddled and adored. Nonetheless, the unlucky thing did not make it past his sixth birthday, falling direly ill and passing slowly due to what is only noted as a disease of ‘consumption’. His death was not met with mourning, only succeeding in rekindling the exponential pressure on the heartbroken pair.

Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Karina, Invidia
Occupation: Field Worker
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Vicente Valdes was your typical Invidian field worker that worked for more wealthier families picking grapes that would be turned into Invidia's Glum Wine. Vicente blames everything bad that has happened to him in his life on Angel. A child who he claims was 'born under a sign of evil'. Even as a boy Angel was blamed for the death of his mother who had died giving him birth. When Miguel had passed; Vicente had become only more convinced it was due to the alleged accursed nature of Angel; and so Vicente would forbid of Angel's return and refuse to house him in his home.

Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Deceased
Occupation: (Formerly) Mother and Fieldworker
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Yasmin was your average Invidian woman who married Vicente and worked alongside him in the vineyards of Karina. Yasmin was more than happy to be a mother and enjoyed the experience overall that she wanted a second child after Miguel. The experience with angel would be unlike any other however. On a storming October thirteenth Yasmin would enter a very painful labor. Travelling through the storm to get her to a doctor was an excurciating experience. A wagon broke down and needed to be repaired mid storm, and the mule pulling it would seldom behave being at unease. When they finally reached a doctor it was said that it was not likely Yasmin would survive giving birth, and she would not. With her dying breath she was said to have reached out ward uttering '...angel of Ezra...'. Vicente would name their second and last son 'Angel' as a reminder of what had been taken from him.


Quote
Name: Miguel Valdés
Relation to PC: Older Brother
NPC Location: Deceased
Occupation: (Formerly) Field worker later Soldier
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Miguel was the only one who truly stood by his brother. Despite everything, and the rumors that surrounded his brother; he was always there to pick him up, always there to stand up for him when no one else would, and in doing so would become a role model for Angel. When no one would hire Angel for work, Miguel decided to join a mercenary company with Angel so that he would not be alone. The one profession where not too many questions were asked and bodies were appreciated over superstition. When the two got their first skirmish however, things would go horribly as Angel watched his own brother be torn limb from limb by an ogre. Miguel's remains are buried in one of many of Invidia's skirmish grounds in an unmarked grave.

Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Deceased - Spring 773
Occupation: Street Busker (Illusionist)
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Armond Wylie was a clever old halfling with graying strawberry blond hair. His vibrant green eyes and charming smile were enough to gain the attention of many a passer by. His magic was simple and entertaining, and though he had the ability to swindle many of his customers, he preferred simply to entertain them and bring a smile to their faces. He was a kind and honest man who all to often shied away from conflict. A trait that left his unfortunate daughter often abused by those he loved. In his youth he took a lover outside of marriage and together they bore Brenna. It is something he's never spoken about publicly or among his own family.

Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Zelda was a cold and unloving mother to the illegitimate daughter born out of her husband's indiscretion. She had long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes to match. Her expression was usually grim and age had shown in her face. Her skin was wrinkled and her voice was coarse. She often chastised the young woman and beat her regularly for her mistakes. Additionally, she was quite vocal of her distaste for Brenna, especially in the earshot of her five biological sons. This created for a very tense home. As a poor halfling in the Ouvrier, Zelda had taken to a life of petty crime. She and her five sons lived the life of pickpockets and grifters. They had no qualms with stealing from neighbors who, like them, had to scrape and claw to make ends meet. It was enough to keep them housed in the tiny flat that was once afforded by the efforts of the late Armond Wylie. As Brenna aged into adulthood, Zelda began to pressure the young woman to find a more wealthy man to bring home in the hopes of "acquiring" some measure of wealth from outside the family.

Relation to PC: Biological Mother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine (location within city unknown)
Occupation: Unknown
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): A stunning halfling woman of red hair and ocean blue eyes. Katelyn carried a sadness with her, everywhere. She bore but one child, a daughter, whom she knew she could not support alone. And so she gave the girl to the only one she knew who could, the child's father, Armond. She left her at his doorstep, wrapped in a basket with a note, asking the man to care for his daughter and then disappeared from their lives forever. Where she is and what she is doing are a mystery. But one might imagine that she longs to meet her only child again some day, and make up for all those lost years and the regret that came with.

Occupation: Criminal
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Brown hair, scruffy, dog faced halfling man. He was his mothers son in both appearance and demeanor. He and his brothers work the streets of the Ouvrier taking coin from those just as unfortunate as themselves. The ringleader of their little gang of grifters and thieves, Cecil is always the first to point out Brenna's flaws and failures. He is responsible for more than a few of her many scars.

Name: Philip Wylie
Relation to PC: Second Eldest Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine (Quartier Ouvrier - Halfling Grotto)
Occupation: Criminal
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Thick mutton chops framed a pudgy face. His disheveled dirty blond hair was the lightest of Wylie men, but his hand was the heaviest. He was a bruiser, as far as halflings go. A stout young man with a mean disposition. He was the muscle in the family gang and wasn't afraid to show it. Not surprisingly, he was also responsible for most of Brenna's scars. His short fuse often lead to fits of rage, all of which were directed at his younger sister.

Quote
Name: Jorah Wylie
Relation to PC: Middle Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine (Quartier Ouvrier - Halfling Grotto)
Occupation: Criminal
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Bushy black hair and bushy black eyebrows were the most prominent features of Jorah's face. He was the quinticential middle child. Of all of the Wylie boys, he was perhaps the most gentle handed. Though he shared in the spoils and revelry of the other brothers, he enjoyed it the least of all. A reluctant accomplice to their dastardly dealings, Jorah never had much of a backbone. He just did what he had to to avoid persecution from the rest of his brothers. He had a soft spot for Brenna, one he could never show, but he was a follower and so he too was responsible for at least two scars left on his little sisters body.

Quote
Name: Dirk Wylie
Relation to PC: Second Youngest Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine (Quartier Ouvrier - Halfling Grotto)
Occupation: Criminal
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): Prematurely thinning hair was the hallmark of the second youngest of the Wylie men. His brown locks thinning every year where the result of the incredible stress he placed upon himself, and the stress placed upon him by his siblings and mother. He was the sharpest of the men, cunning, clever, and most of all, cruel. It was his machinations that typically netted the brothers their biggest scores. While he was not directly responsible for most of Brenna's scars, he was responsible for the deepest and darkest of them. In particular, he was responsible for her feelings of worthlessness.

Quote
Name: Haymitch Wylie
Relation to PC: Youngest Brother
NPC Location: Port-a-Lucine (Quartier Ouvrier - Halfling Grotto)
Occupation: Criminal
Description of the NPC (less than 100 words): The youngest and wildest of the Wiley boys, Haymitch was a troublemaker. He revelled in drink and substance and the voilence that came with it. A party boy if ever there was one. While Haymitch wasn't particularly good at any aspect of the quintet's devious dealings, he was incredibly adept at creating the distractions that were so needed to pull off whatever scheme his elder brothers had cooked up. His wild streak, drunkeness, and intoxication lead to many a scar on Brenna's tiny little body.

Quote
Name: Alina Vianu
Relation: Mother
Location: Deceased, 768
Occupation: Seamstress, inn waitress

In life Alina was the light of any festival, the belle of every ball. Framed by her chestnut hair and light eyes, she had about her an endless optimism uncanny for the suffering endemic to Barovian life. She was raised in Krezk and through offering tailoring services to travelers on the Old Svalich met Cosmin Vianu. Slain by an intelligent, undead monster.

Quote
Name: Cosmin Vianu
Relation: Father
Location: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown

Cosmin was described by Alina as a man of few words, yet rife with conscientious action. It is from he Victor has inherited dark hair and hazel eyes; Cosmin claimed no homeland other than Barovia, his exact place of origin either abandoned or destroyed. Cosmin disappeared early in Victor's life, though his mother always said that he had no choice and that he would return. Assumed to have been a warrior of some station based on heirlooms left to Victor.

Quote
Name: Paul Vianu
Relation: Uncle
Location: Krezk
Occupation: Trader

Paul is a severe looking middle-aged man, frank and miserly. Allowed Alina and Victor to live in his home at Krezk when Cosmin vanished, making no effort to hide a blatant desire for her even if she insisted that Cosmin could not be dead. Expelled them both when a young Victor intervened against him during an abuse on his mother.

Accepted Victor and Alina into her permanent residence at Nasaud north of the Lake Zarovich from Krezk. There she and Alina became close confidantes - her murder compounded with all else has left her despairing outside her work at last, work she performs today from obligation than for any passion.

Oliver Blumfeld of Mordent
 
Quote
Name: Francis Blumfeld
Relation: Ancestor / Spirit Patron
Location: Deceased, buried in Arden Bay, Mordent
Occupation: Scourge of Spectors

Francis lived and died over 300 years ago before the proliferation of the Ezrite faith in Mordent.  The problems with ghosts were just as bad back then and this sorcerer who settled in Arden Bay was up to the task.  His home, Saltview Manor, overlooked the Sea of Sorrows and had potent wards against incorporeal undead.  It was often opened as a refuge for those dealing with such terrible creatures to rest and prepare themselves for battles to come.

He lingered in the Other Side after dying, tethered both by the bloodline he started and Saltview Manor itself.  The family transitioned from arcane sorcery to their own secluded flavor of divine shamanism. 

Much has changed over the passing centuries.

The Blumfelds are now generally spit on by the superstitious as terrible witches, and the Pure Heart Ezrites now do what Francis Blumfeld did -- for more people.  Quite a few recent Blumfelds who would have made excellent Shamans turned on their archaic ways and embraced Ezra instead. 

Saltview Manor transitioned hands many times through passing generations and has existed primarily as an inn for over a century.  Warded as it was against the undead, the Manor was vulnerable to mundane attackers and was recently lost to arson.  Those Shamans who invoke Grandfather Francis carry a salvaged piece of the building and use it as an object of power in castings.

Only the living are listed here -- the dead are too many.  Their home is lost and so they wander

Oliver's Aunt, who was his mentor and who now mentors his young cousin, travels the Core and solves what problems she can without exposing herself as anything more than a healer.  Alfred, however, is more bold. 

Quote
Name: Henry Blumfeld
Relation: Cousin
Location: Traveling the Core
Occupation: Anchorite of Her Second Revalation

Henry travels on his own, openly solving whatever problems he can as an Ezrite.  He is, like the rest of his family, specialized in dealing with incorporeal threats.  He loves the rest of his family, and grieves that they are so lost in backwards blasphemies.  He hopes to peacefully convert them to the Ezrite faith.

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  A middle-aged Borcan trader of  silver, gems, wine - and whatever else might turn a profit.  Gabriel Pietra has, by his late forties, learned to conduct business, and therefore survive, in the cutthroat manner that is commonplace in that domain. He has cultivated a calculating exterior that hides his cowardice. He treated his daughter like a commodity to be bartered with, and ultimately, betrayed her to ensure his own survival.

'House' Asmussen
(https://i.imgur.com/v8pnUf6.gif)
"Kinship Bound; Our Strength, Our Own Accord"

Jørgen Asmussen



THE LEGEND OF HOUSE ASMUSSEN (As the family tells it...)
Quote
Once, the name Asmussen echoed through all the wealthy halls of Nova Vaasa like a hymn of prestige and power. Legends whispered of their founding patriarch, Lord Søren Asmussen, a warrior renowned for his valor in ancient battles that shaped the domain's destiny. With each passing generation, the Asmussens accrued wealth, land, and influence, becoming esteemed patrons of the arts, and revered for their mercantile intelligence.

However, the winds of fate can be capricious, and the family's downfall was as swift as it was unexpected. A series of ill-advised investments and political missteps eroded the Asmussens' wealth. Their coffers drained, their estates mortgaged, they struggled to maintain the façade of their former grandeur.

The final blow came when the Asmussens faced a formidable adversary in the form of House Mølgaard, a rival noble family with ambitions that rivaled the Asmussens' once unassailable position in Nova Vaasa.

Countess Margit Mølgaard, a cunning and ambitious matriarch, harbored a simmering resentment toward the Asmussens. She saw in their glory a shadow that eclipsed her family's aspirations for power and influence. Countess Margit devised a calculated scheme to undermine the Asmussens, weaving a web of deceit and manipulation that ensnared the last known lord of House Asmussen: Lord Harald Asmussen.

Under the guise of amiable diplomacy and cooperation, Margit orchestrated a series of false investments, urging Lord Harald to venture into endeavors that seemed lucrative but were, in truth, nothing more than elaborate traps. As the Asmussens poured their wealth into these ventures, believing they became fearful of forging new alliances and believed securing future prosperity was only possible by keeping family money within the family.

At the pinnacle of their financial commitments, Countess Margit orchestrated a meticulously fabricated expose, unveiling supposed evidence of Lord Harald's involvement in fraudulent activities. It was a masterstroke of manipulation, turning the noble houses and the public against the Asmussens in an instant.

The scandal that ensued tarnished the Asmussens' name irreparably. Accusations of treachery and deceit clung to them like a shadow, and the once proud House Asmussen found themselves isolated and ostracized by their peers.

Many generations have passed since House Asmussen's glory and those Asmussen's are now under the fealty of Count Valdemar Mølgaard working as one of the Count's many farmers. Pig Farmers they may be, but they hold a glorious legacy that will never truly die.





~The Asmussen Family~

Quote
NPC Name:  Thorbjørn 'Pappy' Asmussen

NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Thorbjørn or 'Pappy' has he prefers to be called is a toothless old man who has been living on the farm ever since he was small. The old mans life began here and it would probably end here. Pappy is a cranky old man but he is very protective of his family. After his wife had died he had become very ill and had taken to sitting in his chair for the rest of his life. Since then his body has atrophied and he very rarely leaves his rocking chair. The Asmussen's regretably admit that Asmussen life spans are not generous but Pappy is a unique case it would seem as he has lived a very long time. Pappy hold the 'Legend of House Asmussen' in a very high regard and oftn repeats the tale, he is hoping to one day be able to pass on this tale to his great grand children.

Quote
NPC Name:  Nadja 'Granny' Asmussen

Quote
NPC Name:  Asger Asmussen
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Asger is the current patriarch of the Asmussen family who is knowledgeable in all things swine. Despite looks he is a master of his trade and knows well how to keep pigs: caring, cleaning, feeding, and of course killing and preparing for market. Asger a man who has seen a lot over the years and has taken to some strange quirks. Out of all the Asmussens, Asger is the most religious constantly trying to recite stories, psalms, and liturgy from Lawgiver books; while unfortunately failing or completely making them up to fit his own needs. Asger is quite the alcoholic but despite this he is able to perform his job even while drunk. Lastly, and strangest of all Asger likes to keep and collect his own urine in jars. The jars are kept in a make shift shed where he ages them and keeps track of them based on color. Asger seems to believe darker color samples produce a stronger fertilizer making a  better crop yield and so he saves certain jars for certain times.

Quote
NPC Name:  Elna Asmussen
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Elna is Asger's wife and she has very big shoes to fill after the death of 'Granny'. Like an ancient art, sausage making was past down to Elna from Granny Asmussen herself. Elna dreams of having her sausage become core renown and coveted by all though she exists in the shadow of her mothers great legacy as a true expert in the sausage craft. A supportive and helpful woman overall, while it was mentioned she had very big shoes to fill, she also indeed had very big shoes. Elna's unusually large feet have unfortunately caused her to become very clumsy sometimes even tripping over herself. Years of falling and getting back up have made her a tough woman and as the current matriarch of the Asmussen household she commands a lot of respect.

Quote
NPC Name:  Lars 'Birdie' Asmussen
Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Lars is the second eldest uncle, weathered by the elements with a long, thick, and messy beard. A perpetual squint from years spent in the outdoors. Lars is the cunning strategist of the family, always concocting dubious plans to get ahead in their secluded world. He's fiercely protective of the family, harboring deep mistrust toward outsiders. Lars' nickname 'Birdie' comes from his unusual choice of pets. It is said one day while sleeping underneath a tree after corralling the hogs he woke up to find a robins egg in his beard. It is believed a robin mistook his beard as a nest. Lars originally thought to eat the egg but instead had decided to incubate it with his beard during the cold nights. The egg miraculously did hatch giving Lars his pet robin he calls 'Rolf'. Rolf is often seen sitting in Lars' dirty beard kept so intentionally so Rolf can sit in it comfortably.

Quote
NPC Name:  Inge Asmussen
Relation to PC: Aunt
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Lars' wife and aunt to Jørgen, radiates an aura of vibrant energy that brightens the family's secluded dwelling. Her attire is a canvas of mismatched colors, reflecting her eccentric spirit. Inge is a treasure trove of peculiar advice and homegrown remedies, each suggestion as quirky as it is surprisingly effective. The family 'botanist'l; Inge has a knack and interest for herbal remedies and teas. Although barely literate she is writing her very own book on medicine and teas.

Relation to PC: Uncle
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Poul, the youngest uncle, sports a perpetually unruly mop of hair that seems to defy gravity, and his gap-toothed grin suggests mischief lurking within. His mind is an amalgamation of folklore and imaginative ideas. Poul's innocent curiosity has more often than not gotten him into trouble. Usually preferring to solve problems with elaborate and nonsensical plans rather than doing something more practical and intelligent. As a result he has became the families 'engineer' and is often tasked with making repairs to the farm and farm equipment. Because of this though, things end up becoming more expensive than more reasonable repairs would actually cost.

Quote
NPC Name:  Linette 'Dolly' Asmussen
Relation to PC: Aunt
NPC Location  The Asmussen Farm; Arbora Nova Vaasa
Describe the NPC (less than 100 words):  Linette is a woman of big dreams and aspirations. Linette is the wife of Poul Asmussen. Linette is the most beautiful of all the Asmussen women which unfortunately isn't saying a lot as the Asmussens are not known for their striking beauty but rather the opposite. Linette prefers to go by her 'stage name' Dolly and dreams of one day leaving the farm to become a ballerina. Of course, these dreams are always dashed by her husband Poul who reminds her firmly that she has to help out on the farm. Despite her big dreams of the world outside of the farm; the family does appreciate her greatly for she has a great talent when it comes to bartering. The milk monger from the cattle farm comes by every so often and Linette insists on privately bartering with the merchant named Otto Kirkegaard. The two barter quite frequently together for a lengthy amount of time. Poul is not yet concerned.
