Maxwell Family

Origins

The Maxwells were a family of minor nobles who were originally from Anselle, Atamara. The Maxwells have since traveled making names for themselves.

The family holds tight to honor. However, there are different views on how this honor is achieved. Some wings of the family believe in a more spiritual honor while others believe in a more physical type. The arguments regarding how honor should be show is something that continues down the generations.

With the sinking of Atamara, the ancestral main home is now gone. There is a rumor that Susan's ghost protects the house against any of those who might try to destroy it under water.
