What would you ask for if you knew you would be awarded it?
House Argante
Despite being considered a minor noble house, the Argantes are the largest and most influential family of Vel Redynne. It is their money and loyalty to the historical city that has funded the upkeep and maintenance on the old buildings and the landmarks that are famous to Redynne in recent times. Their wealth comes from the family business, mines in the Aberrasai Savannah that yield gold and iron ore. Due to the trade within Vel Anir, an outpost made up of Guard and Dreadlords are stationed at the mines to protect the resources, and of course, keep favour to Vel Anir.Owning several properties around the Anirian territories, the second largest home is in Vel Anir, in the shadow of the Royal Keep. The Argantes have a good relationship with the Royal Family, and often attend court events.
A family famous for hosting the Anirian Hunt, an annual affair, in their estate residence in Vel Redynne countryside, it is considered the second most popular Redynne event on the calendar, after the Vel Redynne Gala that raises awareness of the old history and the city itself and it's romantic architecture. The entire family grow up on hunting, and the few magically inclined in House Argante have gone on to train at the Dreadlord Academy with magical gifts that make them excellent trackers by their heightened stealth.
Personality
Arcadia is seen as insignificant in her father's eyes since she was the only daughter and only child of three that did not recieve any magical abilities. Being the eldest child, she was responsible for having a hand in helping raise her twin younger brothers until at seven years old, they manifested magical abilities. Now that they are at the age of seventeen, Arcadia has kept a distance from them and has taken to treating them like lowly soldiers.Her determination to be seen and validated by her father only grows each time he overlooks her, a case that oft happens. She spent her years growing up cultivating everything she needed to master in order to take their House into the future, to learn about the family business and their allies, as is her birth right. Her ambition has lead her to becoming perfection, so much that her father has no choice but to commend her, and that in itself is power to the only Argante daughter.
It is this confidence and drive that gravitates many to her circle, and those that support her, see her, are paid in return with her good graces. The Argantes are seen as those that make dreams come true, as their influence and money can make things happen.
