House vun Rolanthe, or von Rolanthe (commonly referred to by it's Calem translation outside of Tirgunn,) is a Lothar-Aligned, Purist-Unionist house. They are near exclusively Leutz-Vixe. Their lands were acquired by the Crown for the family ousting and conquering a secret coven of Vintgast Vampires that previously ruled the lands. The family was heavily intertwined in the initial gathering of the Darkwald Order. While the house is undoubtedly Lothar, they are heavily associated with the Darkwald charter. In recent time, they are renown for manufacturing and supplying weapons, armor, and uniforms for the Darkwald Castle and various Lothar Academies. They have operated workshops and factories for the production of wares for over four generations. The modern perception of the von Rolanthe family is that of the Lothar Academy and the Darkwald. Common occupations for von Rolanthe nobles are lecturers at Lothar academies, overseeing production of wares, or political positions in Conservative lobbies. In recent times, the house has moved to produce weapons and armor for the Regalian Military, as of the Sendrassian-Hadarian war.
Province: Vanren, Tirgunn
Colors: Dark Gray, Pale Green-Blue (Rolanthe gréng) and Pale Red.
Title: Grof vun Vanren
Religious Alignment: Purist, Dogmatic-Unionist. Historically, covertly Sarnan faithful.
Wealth: Acquired through providing wares, weaponry to the Darkwald Chapter and Lothar Academy.
The family are known to wear misty shades of dark teal and pale grays, along with a specific shade of misty green that has since been dubbed Rolanthe Green, which most staff and noble attire have accents of. Their crest includes a red poppy and a rapier. The family hails from Tirgunn; living in a large dark stone castle atop a hill, overlooking blazing forests and frequently purged lands. They are proudly Leutz-Vixe, but are known to remain isolated in Tirgunn. Rarely are they spotted in Ostiermark, and never in Lorhaus. They are known as uptight and distant people, standing proudly behind the greater Counts, Knights, higher ranks of the Lothar Order. They are well educated, and a common attribute of the family is that they are prolific language-learners. The von Rolanthe kin are assumed to speak at least Letz and Calem to communicate with as many families within the Conservative peerage as possible. They consider themselves to be a stalwart symbol of the old Darkwald Chapterhouse.
Indigenous to the Leutz-Vixe region of coastal Tirgunn, the family claimed their lands by revealing that the old Count of Vanren was the leader of a vampire coven. They had infiltrated this castle, and allegedly cleared it of all sanguine with only four men. She who dealt the final blow to the late Count's heart, the first Countess of Vanren, Minerva von Rolanthe.
Played - Main Line| Count, Major Adagio Von Rolanthe of Vanren (@vulnyacura) | Count Adagio vun Rolanthe holds the head of the family following his mother, Cordelia vun Rolanthe's passing. He is her first and eldest son. As a new Count, Adagio keeps the majority of his duties to his house quiet, taking trips back to Tirgunn to assess the estate once a month. The Count is proudly Leutz-Vixe and strives to continue his family name, but has sworn his life to active duty within the Lothar Order in Regalia. His time spent becoming a Darkwald was long and unforgiving, but he may be recalled through his work as a translator for the order.

Played - Main Line | Sir Jean von Rolanthe (schnoms) | Son of Cordelia von Rolanthe and her second husband, an Ithanian of questionable nobility, Jean stands out in the family for being vividly half Ithanian. Despite facing occasional side-eyes, he experiences comparatively less familial pressure than his brother. Capitalizing on this liberty, Jean delves into his passion for the arts, while serving the family as an occasional overseer to research and development of production within von Rolanthe workshops. He is a Knight of Lothar, as an Émérites.
Played - Main Line | Messamer von Rolanthe (snapped_fingers) - Messamer is the only son of Rosamée von Rolanthe, and nephew to Adagio and Jean. He is a Unionist Celate, the only one of the family, though he is still interconnected to the Lothar and Family goals. As a priest, he seems to have a taste for the bold and regal nature of Unionism, not afraid to push his own agenda and denounce others. As a family member, it seems he is strangely disconnected to the other family members at times, though remains loyal and connected with the family.
Played - Main Line | Alice von Rolanthe (sparrower) - Alice is a retired Sudzhennya inventor-Knight of the Lothar Order, now working to provide the Order with prototypes and new equipment to make use of in their duties. She's often noted as cutthroat or mean, with a persistent glower and a dark engineer's wardrobe.
Played - Main Line | Andréa von Rolanthe (lovegoldie) | Cordelia von Rolanthe's closest sister, Andréa is a well studied Lady of the peerage. She lives within the von Rolanthe estate in Vanren, Tirgunn and is the main organizer for von Rolanthe production sites. Her time is spent in her chambers researching fervently the newest innovations within Puretek, and manufacturing methods for weapons and textiles. Often found with piles of logistical sheets scattered in her dwellings, or sending encouraging letters to both Jean and Adagio. As of the Countess's passing, she has taken her time to send the new Count letters of encouragement, and assistance to assure his image is good within Regalia. She worries greatly for her nephews and the family's future.

Played - Main Line | Laure von Rolanthe (rowet) - A child of Alice & sibling of Sibylla, Laure is a romantic and idealist of the world despite the grueling work their family participates in.

Played - Staff | Julius Kirscht (umbralunaelucem) - One of a multi-generational line of servants to House von Rolanthe, and often known as Jules or multiple other similarly prefixed names, Julius is a servant of House von Rolanthe raised loosely alongside the family before properly joining the estate staff once coming of age. While boldly Luetz-Vixe, he is much more known for his open and friendlier demeanor to most and his incredibly dedicated, diligent work. Julius in the past worked at the House's estate in Vanren, he recently was brought to Regalia to tend their estate within the crown isle.
Played - Staff | Dorothea (ellereller) -
Non-Playable | Cordelia von Rolanthe (Deceased) | The Sixth Countess of the von Rolanthe name, Dame Cordelia von Rolanthe was a quiet, devout purist of the Lothar Order. Being a Darkwald herself, her younger years were spent on the frontlines of Tirgunn's offensive to the Sanguine. She had excelled within the academy and graduated in remarkable time. Her time was spent accounting for the interests and management of her house assets, and active duty within Lothar. At the age of 45, Cordelia began spending her time closely within the Academy, taking on dozens of Squires within her lifetime. She was considered a dignified and well respected lady of the Order. As her son Adagio joined the Academy, she shifted her attention back to the frontlines, as she feared presence on the offense from the von Rolanthe name was wavering. The greater family dissuaded her from returning to active battle in her older years, though Countess von Rolanthe disregarded this, and saw their concerns as cowardice. As her eldest son and heir was finally Knighted, and had followed his plan to relocate to Regalia, she was killed in battle months after he departed.
Non-Playable | Ser Klaus Maurice (Alive) | Cordelia von Rolanthe's first husband, and father to Adagio and Vittoria von Rolanthe. Countess Cordelia and Ser Klaus had soon divorced after their second daughter's birth, Klaus von Rolanthe being an emotionally absent and distant man. Ser Klaus was firstly a Darkwald, then a Grauwald. He was notorious for his low tone, reserved manner and inability to raise his voice in combat. Rumors of the divorce circled about Klaus's inability to assimilate with the peerage, and his obsession with his abundance of penitents that often bothered the peerage associated with the Darkwald and von Rolanthe Castle. Ser Klaus is alive, and makes little note to communicate with the von Rolanthe he had previously associated with. He had defected from Lothar, joining the Bloodcast Order as a Vanatori. His name and actions caused a scandal for House von Rolanthe in 308. Rumor has it, he still roams the lands of Vanren, fighting Vampires when the Darkwald are unaccounted for. He aims to retire one day.
Non-Playable | Rosamée von Rolanthe (Alive) | Rosamée is the second sister of Cordelia, and known as one of the most cold and ruthless of the von Rolanthe Family. In contrast to Cordelia's focus upon the Darkwald, and Andréa's focus on innovations within Puretek, Rosamée acts as a pragmatic and disconnected political figure within the family focused on bolstering status and means of the family, be it via business, scheming, or other more underhanded tactics. She lives in the von Rolanthe State in Vanren, but often is on business travels. She was formerly married to Lothar Knight-Major Nikatar Haans, though he died in the line of duty shortly after their marriage, but not before having a child with Rosamée, that being Messamer. She seems to hold little relation to her son after having sent the youth to train as a Celate in Regalia. This cold and welcoming nature extends to the rest of the family.
