Dubhaine Family
The Clan Dubhaine
|
Long content to remain among the faceless ranks of the lesser nobility of the Cagilan Empire on Atamara, it seems that an adventurous strain has infected the younger generation and filled their hearts with the desire for adventure and glory. Measuring its wealth in the bounty of its daughters, rarely has a family been so blessed with female offspring - each often sired by a different father, for the House of Dubhaine is one of the few families in the Cagilan Empire that traces its lineage exclusive through the female line. The Dubhaine menfolk are generally content to seek their fortunes rather than inherit them, although it is not unusual for the matriarch to provide a small grant to kickstart their career.
Matriarch Sorcha Dubhaine is heavily involved with Imperial court politics and has little time for the day-to-day affairs of the Empire, but she still somehow finds time to rule her family with a rod of iron. Her three eldest daughters entered into a compact to increase the fame of their house by spreading across the known world in search of adventure.
