House Camburn
House Camburn is a Jakonian family of aristocrats that possesses legal authority over the southernmost part of the Coast of the Ancients, based out of the city of Liberty. In additional to being granted land and authority in the region, they are also one of the largest organized crime syndicates in the empire. Family run and family led, House Camburn has its fingers in every element of criminal activity in the eastern Jakonian Empire, both in Nasite and Jakonian territories. They have some holdings and influence even in Orrland, allowing them a refuge should they fall into disrepute at home. House Camburn in involved both in the typical struggles of a Jakonian noble house, while also continuing a low level war in the streets against the Rally of Free Men.
Public Agenda
Ever since being granted their lands in Liberty and elsewhere following service in the Great War, the leaders of House Camburn have expressed undying loyalty to the Emperors. They have solidly stood behind the Emperors, and while they have aligned themselves with the other lords to achieve autonomy, they still often support the Empire itself, particularly when it comes to preserving the territorial integrity of what remains. They have been firmly against any sort of independence and even argued against the independence of Capcora and Augustin when those movements came to the forefront.
Assets
House Camburn has enormous assets all of its own. This includes the levies it assembles from its holdings to serve as the house's private army, including a grand total of eight regiments. Also it includes an eclectic selection of less legitimate adventurers, mercenaries, thieves, and assassins who serve the house in exchange for a percentage of the jobs they perform. These individuals help to expand the illicit sources of income for the house.
The house taxes those within its demesne, but shockingly collects the lowest amount of taxes out of any of Jakonia's varied lords and nobles, while possessing one of the largest treasuries. The rulers of House Camburn are known for incredible displays of wealth in all of their estates, each of which is well decorated, particularly their house manor in the Imperial City. Outside of the Imperial City, each town controlled by House Camburn also has sprawling estates or castles that represent the power and wealth they present to their fellow nobility. They are well known to reward those who work for them with extensive wealth and occasionally land.
