The Lafayette House

The Military house of the Kingdom of Castone

Leader: Leon De Lafayette, male elf, known as the "Lion of Castonne" he is the first line of defense for the kingdom, often on the frontlines himself whether it be at the Dread Harbor against Martius, against Angrose raiders or Saxon legions, Leon is convinced that it is his duty to die for the kingdom and the humans he has come to love, even taking one of them to wife. He takes special pride in his human legions, insisting that they are better than elves and valiently fighting alongside them, laying his life on the line for each and every one of them, upon seeing this kind of bravery and selflessness, even the Saxons now consider him an "honorary human".


Champion: William the Silent, male elf, a powerful champion in the fight against Saxony, one day he wasnt powerful enough and the Saxons sought to make a mockery of him, cutting off his tongue and hands and returning him beaten and bloodied to Castone, at which point he promptly grafted blades onto his arms to continue the fight. He rarely speaks now, often staring at the Saxony borders for hours on end to keep up his vigil so that no one else is harmed as he was. He continues to fight, and continues to lose pieces of himself as he slaughters Saxon soldiers, just grafting those pieces back on as best he can


Economy: Jan van Riebeeck, male elf, a descendant of elven colonial administrators, he seeks to regain the colonial holdings the elven empire once had and to that end has begun to compete with Natinal for their share of colonies across the world. He is able to fund these campaigns thanks to his private company that exploits these weaker nations and conscripts their soldiers to continue the exploitation, he leads a large but frankly slow and weak fleet that he uses to try and stop Natinal expansion with little success


Magic: Magritte De Lafayette, female human, the wife of Leon, Margritte was caught in the crossfires of a battle between Saxony and Castone, saved as Leon pulled her from her burning farmhouse. The two enjoyed courtship before getting married and she now lives a quiet life studying elven magic and artistry, a passion she still holds from her time as a commoner, painting the landscape around her farmhouse. Her paintings are now imbued with magic, becoming highly coveted across Europa


Military: Napoleon de Lafayette, male half-elf, the son of Leon and Magritte, Napoleon has not only joined his father in many battles, but in terms of tactics, he has surpassed his father, the pair often playing simulated battles that leaves the young Napoleon victorious and full of a pride his father cant dissuade. Napoleon has gone so far as to advocate for, organize and lead attacks into Saxony, paying them back for years of offensive wars committed against them, and surprisingly, no doubt thanks to the new Kaiser's focus on peace and de-escalation, he has met with some success, though he is too blinded by pride to see that Saxony isnt bringing their full force to bear against him.


Diplomatic: Lamoraal, male elf, once a human fighting for Martius, he died in the resulting magical explosion when Vonaya crashed to the ground and as her last ounce of power ebbed from her as she was locked away in a cell of stars, she reached out to Lamoraal and offered him a new life as an elf serving her. Lamoraal was dead, free of Martius' hold on his mind and struck with the beauty of the Goddess, he accepted and was reborn to try and act as a mediator between the elves and humans, unfortunately, it was too little too late. Though his former friends believed him as the elf knew things only his human form could know, he could do nothing to stop their genocide of the elves and this failure haunts him to this day as he does his best to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.
Religious: Saint Leopold, male elf, a rather controversial figure, Leopold led a legion of elf warriors during the Devastation but the unstable magic of the war caused them to be lost in a storm that lasted 7 days for them, and 400 years for everyone else, when they finally emerged in the lands of Cafka they swiftly subjugated the natives there and soon found a way to return with them as slaves to Castone, finding it now under new management. This change was difficult for the elves but while most fell into line with the new style, Leopold continues to struggle with his vision of elven supremacy and often acts out in brutal fashion against humans who offend him, namely by cutting off limbs, he is often forced to apologize and pay out of pocket for the limbs restoration but still he seems unable to adapt to this new life. He was slain by cultists of Martius at the red reunion and has been reincarnated as a dwarf.
