Though he already knew about all of them beforehand. His reaction was merely produced by the beautiful depictions on the paper. He seems to float in memories of old times. "What a nostalgic experience... I am impressed he got to work this fast again after what happend in Idunia. Well, atleast now we will be able to fullfill our goals more efficently with no filthy parasites draining our energy..." , he would utter before once again, burning another letter. This time tho, the faint smell of smoke seems to stick around for longer, as if it had more meaning then the rest lingering about. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ I. Introduction ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ The Von Kronens are a family of artisans, accompanied by a collective of scholars and merchants within their ranks. They are known for operating several establishments, most notably the Kronwerk Merchants Guild, and for their various ventures and schemes across the human realms. While pursuing their ambitions, the household strives to live up to the ideals behind their name. Whether through gathering knowledge, training the next generation, or expanding their treasuries, the family continuously seeks advancement. Though still a rising household rebuilding what was once shattered, they have already begun establishing a record of success and notable deeds. While not currently holding formal noble status, their lineage traces back to noble bonds within the Imperial Crownlands. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ II. Origins ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ House Von Kronen traces its roots to the Imperial Crownlands, where its lineage began among human merchants and hunters. For generations, members of the family earned their living through trade and the hunting of beasts, particularly those found upon the seas. The spoils of their hunts and travels were sold throughout settlements and ports, forming the early foundations of their wealth. At some point in their history, a chain of unfortunate and largely unexplained events caused the house to fracture. Whether by betrayal, political turmoil, or disaster, the family was scattered and their influence reduced to little more than a name. Now, several generations later, the remaining members of the lineage work to rebuild what was lost. With pride and ambition, House Von Kronen steps back into the world with the intention of reclaiming its standing. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ III. Culture and Style ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Members of House Von Kronen carry themselves with a formal and calculated demeanor. Their ambitions are strict and disciplined, and they often see themselves as set apart from more simple-minded folk. Loyalty to the household stands above all else. Those who demonstrate loyalty through actions and dedication are welcomed into their inner circles, while outsiders are often treated with cold pragmatism until trust is earned. While some may view their methods as ruthless or overly pragmatic, the Von Kronens consider such attitudes necessary in the pursuit of success. Failure, in their eyes, cannot be allowed to halt ambition. Despite this reputation, members of the house are often charismatic and well-spoken, capable of charming negotiations when the situation demands it. Their appearance reflects this philosophy. Formal attire is common, typically featuring black silks, white cloth, and golden details such as buttons or embroidery, proudly displaying their affiliation. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ IV. Activities and Influence ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ House Von Kronen operates throughout the human realms, seeking opportunities wherever settlements and trade routes flourish. Their primary ventures include: Business operations Participation in Hunts for monsters Celebrations, drinking parties, cultural rituals Collective Projects ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ V. Goals ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ The ambitions of House Von Kronen are centered around restoration and expansion. Their primary objectives include: • Rebuilding their former prestige and noble standing • Expanding their information network across the realms • Accumulating wealth and influence While political influence remains a secondary ambition, it is not ignored as the Ho use continues to grow. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ VI. Values ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ The household is guided by several core values: Loyalty Above all else, loyalty to the house and its ambitions is expected. Purpose Every action taken by a member of House Von Kronen should serve a purpose. Discipline Impulsive actions are discouraged, calculated decisions are preferred. Ambition The pursuit of prosperity, influence, knowledge, and power drives the household forward. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ VII. Symbolism ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ The symbolism of the House Von Kronen reflects their worldview. Crest: Two hands - one black and one white - each bearing an eye. The Hand of Truths "Think before acting." The Hand of Lies "Take your chance before it is too late." Together they represent the duality of ambition: wisdom and opportunity. Their colors are black, white, and gold, symbolizing authority, clarity of purpose, and wealth. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ VIII. Notable Members ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Lord Martin Von Kronen The current head of the household and the driving force behind its resurgence. Family Members Everett Von Kronen Brother to the lord and a close advisor in the family's affairs.

In a room full of alchemical and magical utensils a man would sit. A letter slips in from a slit in the wall. Fresh news... A look of destain and disgust makes itself present on the face of the Heartlander... The letters content seems uterly ridiculous. It must have been written by a prankster or maybe not even a human being? The man lets out a word or two towards it before burning it aboth a candle: "Pathetic! Dark lord? What a statement. A title without any actions is meaningless just like resistance against the human state. This is an insult to all the blood and sweat me and other like-minded individuals have coverd themself in.

The memory of this letter is forgotten just as fast as it was created...~

*The man cloaked in a gold cloth would pack the rest of his belongings. His dorm left empty behind. The new missive on the board falling into his line of sight* [!] He would step forward lighting his last cigar. His horse patiently waiting for the departure. His eyes glancing on the paper, the content intriguing him. As he read it his hand of silver rings ,some with a strange aura, would start to grasp the paper. The thought of ripping it off crosses his mind but he decided against such. "What an unexpected end." He'd utter in an ironic tone. "Maybe I should search for some fellow magis who could help with my doings, the family would need some more researchers and scholars..." His words stuck to the bottom of his throat like lead. Turning around as to not waste more time. "We will see... Architect, it was an amusing time old friend."

~ On a windy day the wandering man continued his journey around the globe. - Snow covering his view till all of the sudden a strange letter flew into his face. As he placed his hand onto his nose to forcefully rip the paper off of him. He took a first glance onto its content. ~ His vision focused onto the poster he was holding. The first words utterd from him after the consumption of the informations were as followd: "It seems that they finally managed to hold their grounds and stand up. Hope my journeys in the lands of the north wont be hinderd too much. maybe i will ... " ,The criminal inside of him started to come up but he prevailed not taking risks ,"... Definitly an interesting turn of events."

I get alot of ideas through talking and discussing) (also if there is any magical stuff going on there i would love to know more hehe. Im reading alot abt magic and arcane focus 🫠)

The merchant goes through his daily routine. Walking towards the bank paying his neighbours taxes as he as always, doesnt do that himself. He sees a missive on the board. Looking at it, realising its about his neighbour Brian. He ponders for a while before telling himself "What an interesting revelation. Wonder when this happend." "Lets hope he doesnt drag me into this. Such things arent good for business"
