Jump to navigation Jump to search

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 Lord of Strahan 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). He prefers to lead infantry, and likes to equip them with an eclectic mix of polearms, swords and axes.

Schwarz Vilhardouin

Schwarz, Geoffrey's younger brother, was disowned and exiled to the East Continent after a 'serious indescretion' with the daughter of a neighbouring farmer. He earns a meagre living battling foul monsters and the eldritch undead in Perdan.

Isabella Vilhardouin

Isabella is the youngest of the three Vilhardouin siblings. She has followed Geoffrey's choice of career in serving the Cagilan Empire. Isabella eschews heraldic devices on her own or her men's equipment.

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.
