⌊❀⌉ VALUES ⌊❀⌉
​

House Altagracia, a distinguished Tierraveran Ailor lineage, values a blend of tradition, resilience, and cultural patronage. Their family dwelling, Hacienda de Altagracia, is nestled in the foothills of Marchena and is a serves as a hub for artistry and productivity as many different local artists are often hosted or display their works publicly during frequent galas. The surrounding regions that aren't agricultural reflect this, often being artisan-led towns that make their living through pottery, textile, etc. Politically, they've held onto being Hiltfronts for generations but recent changes in the region have held more progressive beliefs, namely in the way of magic due to the growing mage population in Girobalda, and their family, thanks to the presence of Rosaria's School for the Magically Gifted which House Altagracia helped bankroll with the other families in the region. Ultimately, House Altagracia strives to maintain their influence on their corner of Girobalda for as long as they can, aiming to be a beacon of light in a normally troubled province.

⌊❀⌉ HISTORY ⌊❀⌉
​

The Altagracia family's history is a mix of mystery and rumor, with tales ranging from former crime syndicates in Hallonq's underbelly to humble shepherds nestled within Daendroc aristocracy. Their verifiable history begins around 203 AC in Marchena, Girobalda when Felipe Antonio Altagracia moved from Daenshore with his wife and son to manage his ailing cousin's Hacienda. Felipe revitalized the orchards and inherited the estate after his cousin's death. Despite the financial success, he faced accusations of foul play and criminal associations fueled by competitor's jealous and rumors of Felipe's past.

This was further fueled when Felipe's first wife died not long after, presumably from the same illness that took his cousin. This led to social isolation until he remarried Teresa Antonia Gutiérrez, an equally shunned Girobaldan socialite after a chance meeting at a tertulia, the Tierravera version of a typical Ithanian salon. Together, they enhanced the Hacienda's prosperity and social standing through business growth and local contributions. Felipe was granted a title as a result in 215 AC.

When Felipe's health declined, and his firstborn, Maximiliano, jaded by personal losses and a near-fatal accident during his tenure as a Herebrand knight, refused leadership. Teresa took charge, while Maximiliano held the title legally. Felipe and Teresa's children, Julieta and Andres, continued the family's dual focus on business and social standing, with Andres handling social affairs and Julieta managing business expansions.

In more recent generations, the Altagracia family has maintained their financial stability and shifted their focus to the arts, benefiting from the less competitive business environments.

Main Line
═══════════════​

❀ |Countess Francisca Isabel de las Casas de Escalón y Altagracia|@Amores |​

A Girobaldan socialite with a passion for haute couture, artistry, and the current head of House Altagracia. Between managing the family's social and financial aspects, she's often busy or under pressure but whenever there's free time she chooses revelry, be in the form of gossiping with fellow socialites or getting a private fitting with a favorite designer. Some say she goes as far as sneaking into rougher parts of towns to get a glimpse of potentially growing trends amongst the underground.
​

❀ |Lady Rosario Florencia de Escalón y Altagracia|@noforumsaccountrip |​

Francisca's eccentric, irreverent, yet well-meaning younger sister. Rosario takes it upon herself to follow whatever her heart desires, very much taking life by the horns even if her interests seem short-lived. She prefers saying she tried and failed than never doing it at all and what better place to do all those things than Regalia.
​

Cousin Line
═══════════════​

❈ |Lady Drucilla de Riviera y Altagracia | @gloomybrd |​

A bit of a black sheep, a rebellious result due the pressures of nobility placed upon her by her overbearing mother. Prefers the strange and occult things in the world rather than the stuffy estates she grew up in, eventually leading to her retreating at the altar. She finds herself in Regalia navigating her newfound independence with supportive cousins in tow.
​

❈ |Lirh Concepción de Milagros de Salaverría y Altagracia| @Simevoy |

A Godborn of Nolven, their upbringing instilled a deep sense of duty and resilience as well as an unwavering loyalty to family and their faith. Despite being such a far-off scion to their house, Concepción was warmly welcomed by Francisca into the fold and now seeks new purpose in Regalia.​

I'm in the process of re-orienting myself back into RP, both getting up to date with recent changes and
with getting back into a more frequent presence on the server and I don't want to leave anyone hanging u_u

Tentatively closed...
Inclined to open it sooner than family recruitment because it is just largely dependent on position, but still want to get
more into the groove of things again before committing anyone to anything !!
