The Castran House
The Diplomatic house of the League of Polania
Leader: Franz Castran, male human, a cruel and violent overseer, with a casual demeanor as he goes about his brutal intimidation racket, preferring to be feared rather than loved, to speak softly and carry a big stick. His brutal oppression of his people has led to many attempts on his life, which has led to making him very paranoid
Champion: Savoy Castran, male human, son of Franz, trained as a royal duelist from his birth, Savoy takes pleasure in humiliating his opponents before defeating them, often giving them tips mid battle just to showcase his superiority. He fully takes after his father in tormenting and brutalizing the peasants under him, enjoying it even past its usefulness unlike his father.
Economy: Maria Castran, female human, wife of Franz, she keeps to herself and focuses on the finances of the house, she is terrified of her husband, thoroughly absorbed and captive to the abusive relationship she is stuck in, in public she plays the role of a good wife, though often shows her true cowardly covers during her husband assassination attempts, privately she is attempting to reform the house bit by bit to one day help her, but its unlikely she will get far
Magic: Nikolai Castran, male human, son of Franz, younger brother to Savoy, Nikolai does not take after him or his father, instead he has focused his studies on lightning magic and weather control, he takes pity on the peasants and does his best to help them from the inside out by generating storms and cover while pretending outwardly to be just as evil as the rest of his family, the peasants can see the difference in his eyes.
Military: Draža Mihailović, male tiefling, resistance fighter, despite being in the noble house, this is mostly just a formality, Draza is all for the people, and is one of the only things keeping the people from revolting it seems, its unclear what deal he has with Franz, but its clear he chafes under Franz's rule and longs to start a revolt to tear the tyrant down.
Diplomatic: Kara Petrović, female human, the voice of the people, in a similar vein to Draza, Kara is very pro-people and helps organize protests and the like against Franz, however its clear that Franz cannot kill her due to the popularity she holds and her continued advocacy for non-violence, to kill her would make her a martyr and see his empire collapse, she knows this, and so the game continues between them
Religious: Milunka Castran, female human, witch hunter, a close friend of Franz, she aids him in hunting down all those he deems troublesome, claiming them to be tiefling lovers or tieflings in disguise, she is cold and ruthless, but its all an act for the people, in reality her loyalties clearly lie with the highest bidder.
