The Vilhardouin family recently rose (over the course of several generations) from the prosperous part of the peasantry up to the poorer section of the nobility, in the Cagilan province of Alatol, on Atamara.


Geoffrey Vilhardouin

Geoffrey, the eldest son of the family, has sworn allegience to the Countess of Alatol and joined the armies of the Cagilan Empire. Geoffrey is currently a knight. His arms are predominantly grey and silver, and he favours grey clothing and banners for his soldiers (when he can afford to kit them out).

OOC Notes

The name Vilhardouin is a corruption of the Villehardouin family name, of a medieval knight, adventurer and historian whose descendents carved out a successor kingdom in Southern Greece after the 1204 sack of Constantinople. Check their page on Wikipedia if you're interested.
