House Rosthorn

The House Rosthorn (Also known as The Family Rosthorn, The Rosthorn Family, The Rosthorn Syndicate, and the Rosthorns) is an eclectic noble family that conducts business in the fields of real estate, alcohol production, and banditry.

Background
Prior to the House's founding, the Rosthorn name had been used by Voicemail in several projects, specifically under Rosthorn Co. Ltd., of which the Rosthorn Family derives it namesake. The crest of the family was awarded by the former nation of Plagadonia in the olden days of Rathnir

The House was officially founded in October of 2021, when Voicemail von Rosthorn adopted Kash Ven Rosthorn, shortly following his work with Voicemail under Rosthorn Co. Ltd. at establishing the Rosthorn Building in the trade center of Boardwalk, and Nethhala von Rosthorn, who had long been a good friend of Voicemail, who would go on to found Cottonmouth Crik and Nethbucks.

The House established itself to further each of it's members own goals, as well as their own common goal of filling the families coffers through any means necessary. Throughout it's existance, the house has grown it's influence in the background of Eldham's hectic political scene.

Currently the House Rosthorn sits as the reigning royal family of The Mercantile Republic of Velenu, and a minor noble house in Skjoldrbrodir, with it's business conglomerate, Rosthorn Co. Ltd, being far reaching, conducting business including brewing, drug production and protection rackets.

Voicemail von Rosthorn
The current head of the House Rosthorn. Voicemail von Rosthorn is characterized as deragned, with a insatiable bloodlust. Rumors have swirled around his infection of vampirism. Though insane, Voicemail was influential in the Rosthorns growth and reach, with his company, Rosthorn Co. Ltd, both increasing the Rosthorn's coffers while slowly making him lose whatever sanity he has left.

Nethhala von Rosthorn
An orphaned Netherling adopted by Voicemail. Trained in numerous fighting styles, she exceeds at making a bloody finish and is often considered homicidally insane, as her killings are needlessly brutal. Known as the domineering Underboss of the Rosthorn Crime Syndicate, she has garnered wealth for the family through numerous racketeering schemes and organized banditry, as well as her own brewing company Siren Brewing which distributes illicit substances throughout Eldham. Her reputation has earned her a bounty in almost any country outside her own.

Kash Ven Rosthorn
The adopted daughter of Voicemail. Kash had first met Voicemail during his time running the Rosthorn Building in Boardwalk. Working under him and for a time managing the Rosthorn's literary works. Kash would eventually be adopted into the Rosthorn Family and in the process, though unknown to the Rosthorns, became a vampire after meeting one. After his vampiric awakening she became a drunkard, toting a rifle in his left hand and a drink in his right, often known for starting drunken rages and outbursts within his beerhall. Beyond her eccentric personality, Kash would become the Doge of The Mercantile Republic of Velenu, he would adopt Axolota Fielthorn and eventually wed Knarr Fielthorn. All the while enthralling herself into literature and history, cataloguing and organizing his own personal collection which he keeps in his observatory.

Axolota Fielthorn
The adopted child of Kash Ven Rosthorn found on the shores of the Velenu in the form of a human child. Half-Human, Half-Axolotl, Axolota was raised under the influence of her father's tavern. Taking great interest in brewing, Axolota has founded The Axolotl Brewery which works alongside Rosthorn Co. Ltd.

Rosewood Manor
After many hours spent losing his mind roaming the halls of an office building, voicemail slowly perfected his design for his sprawling estate. After being revised 43 times, the pile of blueprints and hastily scribbled notes equates to plans of twisting hallways and secret passages in every corner. Presently, the manor is under construction. An island north of Ruddersdam, Skjoldrbrodir has been delegated to the Rosthorn Family for its construction.

Cottonmouth Creek
Lodged between a small estuary and the mountains bordering Ruddersdam, Cottonmouth Creek is a powerhouse of agricultural activity. Production is focused mainly on honey and extremely fast horses, though every crop is grown here in some way. The family originally purchased this property for use as a vacation spot. Upon trips to the property, the family found ways to keep themselves busy with farming.

The Rosthorn Building
The former headquarters of Rosthorn Co. Ltd, located in Boardwalk. For the sake of context, I must describe the short and sweet story of Boardwalk; once players found out that the /la spawn command was being removed, a scramble to claim the land surrounding spawn began. There was once a Nether portal built at spawn, allowing players to teleport to spawn and take a short walk to commerce hub once known as Boardwalk. For one month, the wealthiest businesses of Eldham flocked to this city perched above the sea. Shops, restaurants and apartment buildings were constructed, the Rosthorn Building being one of them. Complete with residential, industrial and office spaces, it was destined to be the "who's who" of the Eldham business community. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The nether portal was removed from spawn, preventing players easy access to the town. Shortly after the city died as a whole. Now the Rosthorn building is a monument to the market crash of Boardwalk. Sitting abandoned among the other shops, it slowly falls into disrepair.
