House Magrin
"The shield stands firm."
"The shield stands firm."
House Magrin is known to many as The Royal Family of Ravena and Karthus. They are a noble family of humans believed to have descended from the first elves, and had their blood mixed with The High Priestess. They are separated into two families: One is a family descended from Queen Clara, which rules over Ravena, and the other one is descended from Queen Aurelia, which rules over Karthus.
The family’s origins are believed to be that they came from the Elves of Eastern Drasek, who made their way to Ravena, in order to strike a deal with the Dwarves of Mount Alfheim to ensure that they had the most valuable material known to all Selyrians - Dwarven Steel. This could explain how they became the richest family of all of Selyria, thanks to their initial trade of Dwarven Steel, which then evolved to other trade thanks to them being the crossroads of the north in order to move to West Arkasios.
Margins are typically described to be kind, honorable, and just. Do not let these messages fool you though. They use the Black Valkyrie Regiment most of the time to do their dirty work. A good example is The Shifter Genocide. They are also very cordial with House Deschenel, and have very strong familial ties with them.
Shifters are regarded as a threat to the Magrins, and they are heavily looked down upon in our family. We believe that if we are with a shifter, there will only be a matter of time before they take back the throne.
We believe that their regime caused a lot of violence and chaos when they were still in power. As Magrins, we must ensure that no shifter stands on the throne at all costs.
As Magrins, no one should show dishonorable or any sort of acts that may be considered as underhanded. We have to show the people that we are a worthy royal family of competence and nobility. Any public act that displays our lust for blood, or dishonorable tactics may result in banishment.
With this said, it is heavily recommended to approach House Deschenel and The Black Valkyrie Regiment if you wish to do an action that uneducated peasants may see as dishonorable.
The public will never understand the necessary actions we took in order to bring order and justice to The Kingdom of Ravena. If we let this information spill out, we will go back to the age where countless massacres roamed the region. Always tell your friends that 1570 was a famine, and tell them that we always stand for what is right and just.
The second most prominent house of Ravena. They have large control over north Ravena and into the Elven Lands. Their use of black operations, espionage, sabotage, intelligence gathering, and extrajudicial killings are used to ensure that no instance of disorder arises. They’re housed in the Northern Dukedom in which the keep of the house resides. They are the ones who command the Black Valkyrie Regiment. This regiment is responsible for their illegal acts to ensure the kingdom’s stability and order.
