Foxglove Family

The origins of the House of Foxglove are in the mountainous region of Evora on the East Continent. Their crest is a spray of the purple foxglove flowers from which the family takes its name, and the House motto is "Family, Unity, Strength". The House of Foxglove is strongly linked to the Kingdom of Westmoor on the East Continent, and the loyalty of the whole family to that realm is unquestioned.

Thomas Foxglove

The first child of William and Elisha Foxglove, and the greatest hope of the family. Ambitious, intellectual, and physically brave, he was educated in the arts of politics and warfare almost from birth. When he came of age he joined the military of Westmoor. Rising quickly through the ranks, he first served as Vice-Marshal of the Westmoorian Column before being promoted to Marshal at the exceptionally young age of 19.

As his relatives expected, Thomas was the first member of the family to take a major title when he was appointed Count of Oberndorf.

The most serious minded member of the family, Thomas is loyal to both his friends and the Kingdom of Westmoor. He commands The Scarlet Sentinels, named for the scarlet cloaks that Thomas presents to each man as they join the troop.

Bremer Foxglove

The second child of William and Elisha Foxglove. While his brother Thomas studied, Bremer was out exploring the mountains of Evora or getting in to fights. It was one of these brawls that led to the accidental death of the son of an Evoran government official. To protect the family reputation, and save the child Bremer from any vengeful relatives of the deceased, Bremer was quietly shipped off to relatives in Atamara until he could come of age and decide his own destiny.

When he did come of age, Bremer first served Eston but his restless spirit then brought him to Coria.

Light-hearted and sometimes unpredictable, Bremer's easy nature disguises a strongly individualistic code of honour and a powerful desire to earn personal glory. Within the House of Foxglove, Bremer is noted for his ability with the sword. He commands The Crimson Blades.

Cassandra Foxglove

The youngest child of William and Elisha Foxglove. When Caligus invaded Evora, and began slaughtering the local population, Cassandra was forced to flee the family mansion and make the difficult journey to friendly lands. Arriving in Morshes, she swore to take up arms for Westmoor to help drive back the invaders. Once Evora was liberated Cassandra chose to remain in military service to march beside her brother Thomas (and tease him about the armies of toy soldiers he played with as a child).

Being forced to flee her home by an invading army at a young age has made Cassandra concerned for the welfare of the weak and defenseless. Deeply religious, Cassandra takes her faith in the Church of Humanity very seriously. She considers monsters and the undead to be evil and unholy, and she hunts them down mercilessly. While she is capable of great tenderness to those she trusts, she can be harsh when threatened. Cassandra commands the Thorns of the Rose, named in honour of the rose emblem of Westmoor.
