House vun Vera is a Lothar Friendly, Unionist house, and a court family. They draw their heritage from that of the Leutz-Vixe. And while the bulk of their wealth was accrued initially through patents and distribution of the proprietary advancements to the agricultural sciences the family had invented, they now derive a sizable, if not most of their profits from the academia and tuition. They are known for their lavish events and the balls that they used to throw for the Court, However, in recent times have fallen silent since the tragic death of the late former head of house, the current Countess' son, along with his wife and all main line known heirs. The house is in a dire state.
The family is of Leutz-Vixe heritage, their lineage traces back to the border between Tirgunn and Oistermark. They unlike most of higher status who hold Sarnan lineage, unashamedly display the silver streak in their hair. Though they have become somewhat reclusive in recent times, residing in their family citadel nestled in the wooded heights of Tirgunn, they remain influential figures in Oistermark's political and fashion scenes. Their academies have produced some of the world's finest designers, knights, and inventors. Known among many for their family being well educated and having astute mechanical expertise, the vun Vera family also holds true as a stalwart purist household, which supports the Lothar in a handful of ways, including supplying them with education and informational resources, and clothes.
The vun Vera family is renowned in recent years for its impact on high fashion, and through their association with high fashion, they are also are attributed with the creation of a signature deep hue of blue hue developed at the request of the family by one of their prestigious design academies, thereafter its creation has been hailed as the 'truest most pure form of blue' dubbed thusly as "Vera blue" which is defined by its pale yet deep and sophisticated color. This distinct color is prominently featured in their family crest alongside the symbology of a small bird and lilies .
Hailing from the deep roots of Leutz-Vixe within Tirgunn and Oistermark, the family's initial wealth sprouted out in a wellspring from their significant contribution to the fertility of the land of Tirgunn. From there, the second and third generation of the family both invested in education and sciences, leading to the family becoming known for their excellent academies which exist across many discipline. From design, to sciences, to housing and training new knights of the Lothar. The vun Vera name is regarded highly, known for being socialites and hosting amazing gatherings, with the death of most of the standing fifth generation, and the hazy nature and state of the sixth, they have become reclusive in the last decade. Many often remiss about their galas and balls, however those whispers of their time in the limelight have become nothing but a nostalgic hushed remark among the court in recent years.

Main Family:
(This house is currently not that active in the city, and will not be until after a later plot point, outside of court visitation where required. If you are interested anyhow! Reach out to @skellsie for inquiry)
Playable (?) -[22] | Adela vun Vera | The adopted child of Natasha vun Vera, the daughter of one of her late friends, she is currently the house's only option for a successor, however the nature of said succession would be dubious, so it is not discussed openly, Adela is a serving as an instructor at a one of the family's design academies, and is the Countess's only common familial interaction.
Playable (?) - [62] Staff | Ser Dominik Straus | The butler of the house, older than the countess herself.
Played (currently shelved) (@thatdangfluff) - [??] Staff | R-4 (Arthur) | As a Mystech automaton, and sworn protector of the house, he has been dispatched on a mission known to few for the last ten years, and is regarded as a Lothar ally. He was last spotted near the coastal regions below the city.
While these character sit here, inquire about them anywho if you have a good enough idea.
Non-Playable (?) [43] - Fifth Generation| Elizabeth vun Vera | Second daughter to the current countess, she is currently living in Praag, Oistermark, away from the main family castle, helping manage the estate there. Her daughter died in the accident a decade prior to modern events as well, and while she was next in line, she has not been handed the title because of her suspected collusion with the sanguine that took the lives of the family's future, although there is no proof, so she lives in the manor north.
