A wine and trading house that specialized in silks and fabrics. Within recent years, House Astelle had disowned Sovereign Astelle, now Sovereign Crest, as a Lady of the house for having affairs with House Servants and commoners. Rumors had circulated that Sovereign had also undermined Ducal and County Houses who intended to marry off their daughters by tainting their reputation within high society under the guise of hosting Conduces and High Fashion women only events. Sovereign was also rumored to have underhandedly befriend militant Valkian Houses to threaten other low nobility houses. Despite being offered by two other low noble houses within the Valkian Empire to adopt Sovereign into their house as a Lady or concubine, Sovereign would intend to move her family to the Southern Reach and to the growing city of the Spire.House Crest does not specialize in anything in particularly however the head of house, Sovereign Crest, specializes in tailoring and high conduces fashion. Intending to make a name for the house in the City by opening a grand boutique. Family BiologyWhile the family Biology is scampered because of Sovereigns many partners and wives, along with adopted children and relatives, Sovereigns Blood children have a few matching qualities. Women in House Crest after reaching the age of twenty are never below eight feet in height. A common trait is the Greatling cat eye iris' with copper or bronze eye color with downturned eyes. Women in House Crest have a round nose bridge with little to no exceptions. The women are encouraged to wear whatever style they may wish for however there is no exceptions to have their wear be made out of the best materials. They are encouraged to flaunt their wear off with little to no care for avoiding pride among their peers. Men in House Crest after reaching the age of twenty are never below seven feet in height. A common trait in men is the copper eye color with a few men having bright green instead. Men in House Crest have a rugged and angular nose and eyes. Alike the women in house Crest, the men must go out in their best clothes. Flaunting themselves off with pride. Men commonly get dehorned for aesthetic purposes.Family TreePlayedPlayableDeceasedSovereign Crest | 38 | Played | Open Marriage/Polyamorus | Matriarch Sovereign is a hard working woman who wishes to progress fashion and conduces into the Spire.

Family Application Rules​ Acceptance is determined based off of many factors including competency in the application process, and preceding player history. We expect maturity among every player who applies to the family. ​ House Crest biology should be followed when designing a character for the family. There is little room for exceptions in that regard.  Activity is a requirement, but we are lenient in the case that real life comes in the way.​ While I am not in favor of railroading roleplay in any way, some measure of loyalty and respect for the family lore is requested. If you have character developments you wish to go through with, speak with one of the current heads of the family so we can accommodate .​ If you would like to be an in roleplay adopted Crest we require at least a few days of roleplaying within the family.​ You must have a discord so we can communicate, especially if you are applying for a Family member.​ Family backstory?Every Crest that has been created has their own story or their own set goals (which is completely normal) However when on trial I would recommend to read over the Valkyan Empire. If you have any more questions or would like to play a char that has grown up or been around the Crest family don't be afraid to DM Audianna on discord.Family ApplicationIGN:Discord:Character Applications (only for in roleplay adoptions):Activity (1-10):References:Intended Relation?

                                                                                      To the Citizens of the Spire, I apologize that I am unable to talk in person. As many of you, I work, day in and day out.  But today, I write to you all with a vision. A vision where power is no longer locked away behind closed doors to only a select few, but instead- flows back into you. The people. My campaign, ‘power to the people’, it not just wordage, it is not just a promise; it is a commitment to building a future where every single one of you holds a greater role in shaping the Spire.  If elected as your councilor, I pledge to establish a new structure of governance—one that empowers the people to govern alongside their Councilors: Proposed Positions for the People                                                   Governor of State:A role for diplomacy, representing the Spire and the Reach and ensuring our voice is heard beyond our borders. Master of Laws:A panel of three impartial judges, chosen for their wisdom and expertise, to preside over trials. This will end the outdated practice of leaving justice in the hands of the guards and place it with those qualified to serve. Master of Coin:Accountants and auditors, elected to oversee taxes and ensure fairness and transparency in the Spire’s finances. Order of Commons:A system for knights to officially affiliate themselves with either a noble house or to the people. This strengthens our unity and allows knights to serve as protectors of the Spire and of all. Generals of the Capital:Leaders to form and command a militia for the defense of our Spire, prepared to protect us in times of conflict. Merchants Order:An organized council for the heads of the hospital, garden, library, militia, orphanage, and all businesses to govern commerce, labor, and the infrastructure vital to our prosperity.                                                   A Judiciary for the People We must move beyond the days of justice being wielded arbitrarily. I promise to push for laws that clearly define the rights and responsibilities of all citizens. Cases will no longer be judged by guards but by the Masters of Laws—ensuring fairness and removing bias.                                                   On War and the Threat of the Finns The flags of war are blowing in the air, more than what we may even see. The Finns have made their ambitions clear through their power plays, and the Duchess, with her false title of "protector," seeks to encroach upon our independence. We cannot afford to be complacent.I promise to prepare the Spire for the challenges ahead by organizing the Generals of the Capital and strengthening our militia. The people of the Spire will stand united and strong, prepared to defend our freedom from them. To the Finns, to the Duchess, or any informants who may be listening:"Know this—failure is not an option. The Spire will not fold its hands into your power plays. We are a free people, and we will remain a free people. The Spire will endure. We will thrive. And we will protect what is ours."                                                   A Vote for Sovereign is a Vote for You This is your Spire. Your home. Together, let us build a future where every voice is heard, every hand has power, and no outside force can dictate our future. Vote for me, Sovereign Crest, and together, we will give power to the people. For the Spire. For the People. For Freedom.
