Emilsen Family
The Emilsen family owns Twinskeep and its associated territories. Often considered bootlickers to the governor of Eldurgrund, they will do whatever is needed to achieve the approval of those in power. Likewise, those around them will do whatever they need to gain the favor of the Emilsen's, as their bridges are crucial for trade to Caripreet, Fjordstrond, and Saint's Maar.
Lady Sofia Emilsen is currently in charge of the bridges, and many call her the "hag over the bridge" for her frugal control over the bridges and her inability to drop grudges. She, and her infernal children, are known to brutally punish those that try to cross the bridge illegally, bringing them to the dungeons beneath the river to torture or maim them.
History
The level of power bestowed on the family served to breed hatred for the Augury, which instated them during the building of the Saint Roads. The keeps and bridges were built just as the roads were paved in the area, and the family was used as a way to keep the Eldurgrund territory in check and under surveillance. This already made the family unpopular and would make them a hated household name far into the future. Today, the hatred is only bred by the complicated history of the lordships, and Lady Emilsen only worsens this with her iron-clad grip on the trade routes. Currently, their appraised position by the Augury make them appear as Augury sympathisers while they actively behave as bootlickers to the Hellstrom Governy.
