Penrose Royal Family
The Penrose family, an ancient lineage etched in the annals of history, stands as a testament to enduring power and unwavering tradition. Recognized by their distinctive white hair and piercing red eyes, these features have persisted through countless generations, a mark of their esteemed bloodline. In the chronicles of antiquity, the Penrose name intertwines seamlessly with the inception of the artificial marvel known as Asmody, the floating city of the lake. The family's legacy is as old as the city's foundations, the earliest mentions of the city coinciding with the first appearance of the Penrose name. Throughout recorded history, the Penrose have steadfastly guided Asmody, weathering countless conflicts and reclaiming their ancestral home each time it was lost to them even in the face of adversity.
The Penrose name echoes through the records of regional conflicts, an indicator of their profound reach across the lands that eventually coalesced into Kalaido. They are recorded as neutral arbiters, their fairness universally acknowledged. Their reputation as peacekeepers and masters of political acumen preceded them, leading to their coronation as the Royal Family of Kalaido. In a time when neighboring nations unified under a single banner, the Penrose's legacy of neutrality and diplomacy became the bedrock upon which Kalaido was founded. Under their rule, Kalaido embraced an era untouched by invasion, embodying the family's principles of peace and sagacious governance even in the most unstable of times.
Yet, the Penrose are not blind to the realities of the world. Their treasured heirloom, Clarent, epitomizes their stance—politically imbued yet lethally sharp. It is a weapon meant to be wielded with Light Magic, for that is the most common affinity in their bloodline. This enchanted sword, capable of discerning truth from deceit due to an enchantment, signifies the Penrose creed: a wise ruler seeks not war, but must always stand ready to defend. In the hands of Queen Serena Penrose, the legendary Conciliator, and the Royal Prince Oriana Penrose, Duke of Tellada and Bearer of Clarent, the Penrose legacy lives on. A legacy that continues to shape the fate of Kalaido.
