House of Greenskin (Area of Concern: Industry)
The Greenskin Family is one of two Orcish noble families at the Noble Court (the other being House Darktusk, historically rivals but now allied in the face of the human-dominated court). Currently, the only active members are Vizier Kronk Greenskin and her daughter, Subvizier Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin, who is married to Katib Castor Stargazer, the "spare" of the Stargazer Family.
Structure
Vizier and Viziera
Vizier Kronk Greenskin: Proud of her Orcish heritage and position but deeply aware of the precariousness of her situation in a human-dominated court, Vizier Kronk Greenskin is the only female Vizier at court since she has no husband. Her daughter, Subvizier Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin was born to her second lover, Joppa, a human who worked as her Orcish-speaking father's translator. She lives alone on her Estate alongside two dogs, a cat, her servants and other staff. Although officially a Tinkerite, Kronk secretly worships the elicit Orcish deity Termagant, the Iron Sultan(a).Subvizier and Subviziera
Subvizier Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin: Socially anxious and clumsy but with a relentless drive for research, Half-Orc Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin is one of the nicest nobles at Court. She is the wife of Katib Castor Stargazer (the "spare" son of the House Stargazer). She lives with her husband's family and works in the Stargazer Library, until recently under the strict supervision of Viziera Andromeda Stargazer. She is surprisingly supportive of Castor's homosexuality and even facilitates his secretly rekindled relationship with Katib Hugo Dargent.Culture
Nightmares
"The old Greenskin vizier finds her own nightmares used as an outlet for the rage of her chosen deity. Mostly when she experiences nightmares, she dreams of rage. Rage and iron and fire. Her daughter fears consequences. She fears that her many secret misdeeds will finally topple upon her. She fears nearly everyone and everything in the world she knows, one way or another. Her mind is an exquisite smorgasbord."The Man Who Is Not There tells Lindie Asklepa the nightmares of the Noble Court.
History
Most notable for having three Trials by Combat declared on him, and besting his opponent on all three occasions, Saladin Greenskin, the First was a formidable Vizier, and a worshipper of Termagant, the Iron Sultan(a). His son, Saladin Greenskin, the Second, was Vizier as the Humans gained a dominant foothold in the Court. Saladin the Second's victory over Vizier Jafar Darktusk in the last Trial by Combat held at the court possibly explains how the Darktusk Vizier ended up in a wheelchair.
