The Attilius people are one of vice and perfection. It is said that Attilius people are the best lovers and the most beautiful in the world, they do not limit themselves to one lover preferring to take on multiple lovers and this is viewed as completely normal. They also pursue utter perfection in any of their crafts, especially swordplay as they are well known to have excellent duelists, jousters and artists.

The standard Attilius soldier wields a spear and shield and wears a breastplate along with a nasal helmet. Since they are close to the sea they also posess a modest navy consisting of 75 Warships.
History
House Attilius was founded by one of the close friends and ally to Adonis l, a human woman named Arianna Attilius. She was a fantastic warrior, but was well known to despise any goblinoids, orcs, ogres and other monstrous races and given the fact they were at war Adonis looked over her practice of enslaving said races. She proves herself as a capable commander and a charismatic leader and for this was rewarded with a large swath of land in the Flavalands which then became House Attilius when The Aleanza was first founded.
Demography and Population
The population of House Attilius lands are very urban with most of the population living in cities and ports especially Desmevo. The population has a much higher population of wealthy individuals given that most of the mining and hard manual labor is done by slaves. Slaves do make up a large percent of the population and are usually kept in camps outside of cities and guarded by Attilius soldiers. Most of the population that arent slaves are humans, but the port cities posess a good amount of diversity.
Territories
House attilius takes up most of the land within the Flavalands with Desmevo located at the lower portion of the region, close to the sea. These lands were inhabited by orcs and goblinoids during The Scourge, but after a military campaign from Ariana Attilius the lands were occupied and ruled over ever since and provided a huge portion of the modern day slave population.
Religion
The Attilius people arent very relgious, but those who are follow the teachings of the Order Tide and their favored god Lunai who is a god of love.
