The Montfort House

The Religious house of the Kingdom of Castone

Leader: Saint Jean Montfort, male elf, a radical hardliner who seeks to bring more souls into the worship of the Goddess in an effort to free her from her chains so that she can rule as the only free Goddess. Jean has found that the nations outside of Europa have the most readily available converts but after his actions where thwarted by Astrasan zealots he has sworn an oath to eradicate the Star-Worshippers and use their knowledge and power to free his Goddess. To this end, he leads crusades into their lands, often returning with little to show for it, but always ready to try again.


Champion: Charles Montfort, male elf, eldest son of Jean, a prominent military leader who was able to help defend Natinal from invading Astrasan forces and has helped forge a union between the two nations against their common foe, however this relationship is being tested as both nations seek to gain each other's colonies. He still advocates for working with Natinal as Astrasan is a much bigger fish they both need to fry.


Economy: Max Montfort, male elf, son of Jean, Max is in charge of swaying the lesser countries outside of Europa using the wealth of his house to buy out their government and then recoup those losses by exploiting the colonies for all they are worth, ensuring harsh worship quota's and taxes are levied against them all so that they can fund the next expansion.


Magic: Saint Joan of Valois, female elf, A pious elf who founded the main nunnery of Vonaya, a sisterhood of elves who take in the lost and destitute of their race, protecting them and helping them escape persecution, even offering them a place to learn and grow to adulthood in peace. She has become the target for cultists activities because more than anyone else, she holds the best chance for elven survival as she saves and nurtures more and more of them, teaching them of their history and of all they need to know to survive and thrive once more.


Military: François de Guise, male elf, A valiant and renowned crusader who fought against Martius at the Dread Harbor and long before as well, he has fought for his Goddess in a variety of theatres and against all manner of other religions, he knows them well and often uses their religious practices against them in innovative and brutal ways. He has been constructing all elven units as he doesnt trust humans not to fall to Martius once more and as such, is not looked on favorably by most humans.


Diplomatic: Cardinal Richelieu, male warforged, a rather intelligent and manipulative warforged, Richelieu was awoken in a temple to Vonaya and given his task by King Louie, his mission is to monitor and track the elven faith of Vonaya, ensuring they dont pose a danger of restoring the elven empire or other such horrible things. His job is a tough one and every elf knows what he is up to, making it only tougher, yet somehow he continues to leverage the elves pride against each other and prevent them from rising up past what is acceptable.
Religious: Urbana Montfort, female elf, a native from Astrasan, Urbana was taken as a treasure by Jean whom she soon married, she has reformed from her star worshipping ways and returned to the loving embrace of Vonaya... a return she is trying to impose on all her former countrymen as she constantly calls for and organizes crusaders and funding for those crusaders to take her husband deep into enemy territory... curiously, she never goes on these crusades herself and some in Astrasan speculate she is just trying to get her husband killed so she can live freely.
