House Regas
(( Fleshing out some NPCs for the massive Versai-Markos saga @birbot-rp and I have going. Go go team White Mantle! ))
Regas is another one of the noble households that have always looked toward @house-versai for direction in matters both mundane and spiritual. Regas is, unlike Markos, Etan, or Versai, based in Kessex, in a well-defended hilltop manor north of Fort Salma. Their wealth, such as it is, comes from ore deposits on Regas land.
Lord and Lady Regas still live in their ancestral home despite the ever-shifting centaur offenses. Their three sons were all trained in fighters’ arts, with the eldest son Gregori showing great prowess as a necromancer. Middle son Severin seems to have no obvious magical talent, while youngest son Istvan would be described as having an affinity with Melandru, if he wouldn’t find such a comparison offensive.
Gregori already has an heir, his six-year-old son Antonio. His wife Juliana died two years ago - alongside her noble parents -- in a centaur raid. He mourns her still. Second son Severin is wedded to House Markos heir Ilene, who, in her forties, suffers from a quickly progressing degenerative disease. Rather than stand by his wife and bask in their childlessness and mutual disappointment, Severin has left to pursue more fleshly pleasures in Lion’s Arch.
Istvan was once considered for Natasa, but the wedding between Istvan’s brother and Natasa’s sister rendered a secondary inter-house relationship redundant. Now, rumor has it that he turns his gaze toward one of the decade-younger Etan twins.
As with many noble houses in Kryta, the Regas family maintains a smaller, but still gracious dwelling in Divinity’s Reach. The flat is in a three story building near the asura gate in Rurikton. None of the three sons participates much in noble life. Of the three, Gregori and Istvan are the most devout, while Severin’s faith suffers alongside his marriage.
Clearly, something must be done.
