Arn Family

The House of Arn is of relatively recent origin, having risen from low-born foreign anonymity to the honorable nobility of Massillion a mere forty years ago. It is unclear how they managed to achieve this newfound rank, as the known history of the family speaks of nothing but brutal mercenaries and villainous traders. Some quietly allege that bribery and extortion were involved, while others whisper of murder most foul. Despite their humble and highly questionable roots, however, the House of Arn has attracted little undue attention since their noble founding, quietly assimilating into the ways of the Kingdom of Eston.

The fourth born and least-favorite son, Maladek, has taken up the family banner and ridden forth to bring honor and fame upon himself and his house. He marches in the elite army of the Eston Counter Assault Force, and has proven himself in many battles. The family expects very little of him.

Maladek's twin brother, Levant, emigrated to a foreign land to seek a blasphemous faith. His name is no longer spoken by the family.

The third born child, Valeria Trueblade, fled the cruelty of the family and traveled to distant shores to seek Truth, Beauty, and Justice. She is currently the Minister of Defense of the Democratic Nation of Ashborn, and has found many friends and true companions there. The family expects her to return swiftly, penniless and disgraced like all such weaklings.

The second born son, Jorn Ironborn, was sent abroad to fight in foreign wars in order to slake his thirst for battle and man-killing (and to allow the consternation about the "incident" to die down). The family hopes that he will return soon enough, further covered in glory and the life-blood of any foes that have the misfortune to cross his path.

It is also said that a young adventurer named Ninia is related to the family by blood. She travels the island of the Far East constantly searching for monsters to slay and random pieces of junk to collect.
