Loved:
Njorun-Sylvi Wilkstrom-Eldsvart (@Cukie1 ); The most important person in my life, the time we spend together I will forever hold dearly to my heart; She is the brightest thing in my life, the light at the end of the tunnel, and the beauty of my life. I cannot wait for our future together and our marriage, I know she will be a great wife, Countess, and mother.

Arabella de Courtnay (@Tomato150); Daring woman.. Thats all I can say, she goes up against Lucia and trains with the sword, she is not a trouble-maker, yet she easily could be, and a damn good one at that.

Lucia Varyn (@Landem ) Lucia is my dear cousin, we may not show it, but I love her, I simply wish she would back off Njorun and trust me, for she doesn't know love like I do.

Maceo de Courtnay: My son, I will guide him forward until the end of my days.

Sébastien de Courtnay I (BrianAT16): My little brother.. How our line of the family made it to the top of the lineage is above my understanding and is left for Ignis to ponder; Yet, I will protect you, and see you be the Knight I know you can be.

Lillium (@Cukie1); I worry for her safety; With the news given to me on various concerns me for her safety and future, Revenge in her name I will grant that comfort.
Trusted:
Fjorlief Wilkstrom-Eldsvart (@Cukie1 ): Deeply respected and trusted; I respect her loyality and love of her family; I need know nothing else rather then the love of her daughters, for her to have my respect.

Consiel d'Avignon: For the most part...

Respected:

Befriended:
Benjamin Hotspur (@Fishymatt ); A Fine solider, and a better squire.

Sir Benjamin d'Gemeaux (@Deathmoron ) A good man by the look of it, a Knight too, perhaps he can give me a tip or two on wielding the sword.
Liked:
Sir Sif Sigurd (@The Courier ): A fine man to joust against; Strong, impressed by his combat in the melee as well, suprised by the large man's skill as a doctor.

Sir Vlad (@Sir Andrew Wallins): Strong man, not willing to give up and fight to the bitter end, I was impressed when he took so many lances to the chestplate.. However, I do feel bad about the state of his ribcage...

Lord Daeron (Jstar ): A good head on the elf's shoulders, I look forward to the trade between our nations, for a better future for the both of us.


Lord Azure Cerridwen (Immerael ): Wise man, and a brave one as well; I respect his search of Azerport for relics, which I hope to buy, but I also thank him for his honestly concerning Lillium, and his trade agreements between himself and I.

Lord Thearan Aeyeras-Nolder (Kvothe ): Interesting man.. Interesting Kingdom, I look forward to the trade and the embassy in Heaven's Reach.

Lord Cedric Lydel (Balatro ): Hopefully a strong alliance between Tambry and Avignon, Cedric is a man I can respect for his head and knowledge of trade.

Jaden Seeker (CloakedReaper ): Another who informed me of Lillium's past and current issues, I like the man, and he better protect Lillium, because I cannot do so full time.

Lady Fania Brus (Jasper151627237 ): Keep serving as well as you do with loyalty and honour and I can see great things in your future.

Neutral:
Lady Myaela Eldrin (Jstar): Useful.
Lucifer (Arcana ): Ambition.

Curious, are you planning on staying at Marche? As the current owner I'm likely going to be going through some major reconstruction in the near future. Especially considering the current Marche is nowhere near done.

No worries either way, I'll make due!

Actually, I was looking for a reason for the family to leave the region, relating it likely to the fall of La Marche, I'd appreciative if the church stays, or atleast the idea of Ignis but its not my region anymore.

However, the Family has left the land (And a notable amount of RP items would of been taken, basically everything from the Crypts) As Francis was just there, aside from that, I wish you the best of luck.

Edit: The whole House/Farm is being redone.

I own it under Henri, who is an Anhald, so the Ignis influence is a definite must, no worries there. However, I am likely going to likely scrap the region and build an Anhald fortress there with a small Ignis chapel. Henri is going to /find/ the place empty and ransacked of RP items except the occasional odd and end.

If you want any part of the church saved via w/e or anything, let me know. I probably won't be starting for a little bit anyways.

Perfect, mind you the RP items that were taken was mostly cultural things, like ashes and urns so you're fine xD
