Short Profile

The world bristles with life, its been some time since the crusades had been waged and in an alternate universe the conflict with the Islamics over the Holy Land continues to rage, rather its raged well into the 20th century. Even in the supposed technological revolution, knights and kingdoms are still the way of the world. Soaring Gothic city states dot the countryside as men fight and die in the name of Just Cause. The Holy Roman Emperor still holds dominion over much of Europe and the savages in the America's fight to repel the barbarous Spaniards, greedy and desperate for gold to fuel its war with France.

Despite the strife, France has done nothing but flourished in this setting along side of Italy and the rest of the Mediterranean. Rather than bureaucrats seizing the day, Lords continue to met our rule over designated fiefdoms. Passed down from generation to generation, these lordships boast as many as 20 generations as patience of nobility. One such is the distinguished line of the Fortesque's.

Having been in service to the king since before the first crusades, The Fortesque line has been one of the most model Knightly family- though with an odd habit of wedding out of nobility to commoners in their fief. Marie-Phillipe Fortesque, the forebear of this practice claimed that it served to make the line strong with the people it protected.
