Noble House of Slebbosal
One of the larger noble houses that gained its status through trade and commerce. The rise of this Vedalken family was strong and far reaching over the centuries that it has been involved with the Kratocracy Empire. It is only recently that the family has fallen on hard times and it is yet to be seen if it will be able to recover. At one point the family carried great weight and contributed to nearly a tenth of all the trade in the Kratocracy Empire through the Slebbosal Merchant Guild, it is now lucky that people are willing to deal with it at all.
Structure
The family has several smaller branches that have joined in through marriage that help to manage its various holdings and activities that are across the Kratocracy Empire. These branches along with the main branch work together so that they may continue the progress that was started in the early days of the family and engage in charity work that
Public Agenda
- Acquisition of wealth to secure the stability of the family
- Growth of the Slebbosal Merchant Guild to the family's reach
Assets
Though greatly reduced in the amount of wealth it has currently, it still possesses access to several hundreds of Platinum & Gold Gilding so that it can survive and rebuild itself. Several homes and buildings are owned by the family outright so that they can use them as collateral for other ventures while still being used for the commercial corporation to create more capital and income. Several members of the family have been able to amass wealth enough to help them live without ever needing to work and continue engaging in charity work.
History
A Veldaken noble family that has been around for over 2,500 years, it gained its nobility status after making a large fortune in commerce and trade deals, being granted so directly by the Emperor at that time. Working hard over their century lifespan’s, the family itself continued to ascend to greater heights in the empire weathering every great war and all adverse conditions that occurred for the Kratocracy Empire. It was only during the last century that it put both its money and the commercial organization that it ran got involved in the black market and underground activities. Though it brought wealth and access to markets they never had before it all came crashing down when investigators for the Empire uncovered missives and documents that linked them to several criminal organizations. While this was not enough to actually remove them from their status of nobility, it did incur massive fines and penalties to both family and company as it went against the ideals of the Kratocracy Empire itself. Furthermore, the public lost much trust in them and it is only in the last few years that they have seen and upturn in the use of their company again.
