Maggiori Family

The Maggiori family is a family of empaths. As such they have the ability to feel the emotions of other with whom they are close, whether is be geographical proximity or emotional ties. They can sense danger sometimes weeks before that danger manifests itself. The younger and more inexperienced the family member, the harder it is for them to identify the source of the emotions they are tuning into.

Because of the emotional toil it takes for the Maggiori family to use this gift, they are prone to physical illness and very susceptible to infection. Consequently they often take longer to heal when wounded than others who are not so in tune with the sub text of life. They are good readers of character, unless they fall in love, in which case they are hopeless romantics who have a history of being treated badly by others, and used by many.

The family has a history going back hundreds of years, but they do not write things down very well, so much of what the current generation knows about itself is based purely on what they remember. Owing to the fact that they are often tired, they often forget!

This is the little they remember at present: They originate from the region of Webgard, in the realm of Abington, Atamara. This is the family tree:

Lord Paolo Maggiori m Lady Beatrix Domini

They had three children: Johannes, Eduardo, Nicola

Lord Johannes Maggiori m Lady Christina de Melovio

They had four children: Paolo Jr, Joanna, Demitri and Carlo

Paolo Jr m Lady Arabella Cantelisto

They had three children: Caterina, Francesca, and Maddelena

Caterina Maggiori, the eldest of three sisters, chose to remain in her family's realm.

Francesca Maggiori, the middle of three sisters, chose to move to Wasteland, Kalma Islands in the East Continent

Maddelena Maggiori, the youngest of three sisters, chose to move to Sasrhas, Lasanar in the Far East

The Maggioris and religion

All of the Maggiori family, for generations, have worshipped the Goddess La Luna who controls the tides, the seasons and the cycles of life. They are very in tune with the passing of time and very understanding of how things both change and remain the same. They are adament about their faith, and no one has yet to convert a Maggiori to follow another faith. They recognise that there are other gods, and are tolerant of others who follow a different path, but feel strongly the importance of maintaining the faith of the family. It is on this matter alone that they would ever disobey an order coming from someone to whom they had pledged their loyalty. Otherwise they will fight for, and defend, those to whom they have pledged their loyalty, even to the death.
