Sedirae Family
an elderly scribe with a dry hacking cough walks into the study, his old body draining more and more with every step. He squints sharply, inspecting the rustic room rifled with dusty tomes. Sconces and candelabras dot the hall way, giving off their yellow light to aid the old man's descent into the deeper chambers of the Sedirae Family vault. At the end of the hall, he opens the door into a large antechamber. The walls change from a solemn oak to a grave stone, marbled with cracks and salvaged statues with burn marks. The statues look down on the scribe, rife with looter's slashes, their battle wounds like those of a grizzled veteran company eyeing new recruits. Moving into the larger hall, the Scribe stops at a large stone table and sits on the padded throne placed in front of it.

History of the Sedirae Family
Founding & Homeland
The Sedirae family was founded by Luc Sedirae from the far off land, Thislan. A continent surrounded by water, the island was rife with war and suffered not a single weak individual.

Fighting is for a purposes or at least a means to an end, surviving is to live. This is the type of life-style that people are accustomed to on Thislan. With raiders, brigands, or even your own lord to fear, Thislanians are a rather self-sufficient bunch, with a bleak out look on life and a rather cynical, callous approach to matters.
