Under his guidance, the trainging programs for Croania's soldiers have been optimized down to a T. The man himself is no slouch at combat, using his gate to place his enemies under intense pressure to slow and hinder their movements. While he was once a terror, his age seems to have finally caught up with him, and he no longer leaves the house as much as he once did. House Pachel is notoriously conservative in their views towards the North. However, the views of Jevin Pachel himself have softened significantly in the past few years. Pachel will be attending the talks. His wife and children remain at home.[/cell][/row] [row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/V1z0XTy.jpg[/img][/cell][cell][sup][color=d8cfbe][h3]Esmeralda Nols[/h3][/color][/sup]age: 33 [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] gender: F [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] affiliation: House Nols [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] gate: Minor Light Generation height: 5'8" [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] build: Average [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] notable features: [indent][i][color=d8cfbe]"It's all a matter of give and take."[/color][/i][/indent]Lady Nols has a remarkable head for numbers and math. She's always ready to tell you exactly why you're wrong about your statistics, and how hers are much, much better. She married and had Carrey at a young age, and now seems dedicated to building her house up as much as possible for her son. Her favorite way to use her magic is to put a slightly ethereal glow about her face during negotiating. House Nols has always served itself, even since the Unification. She will be looking to find the best deal for her and her house, but will mostly support Southern interests.[/cell][/row] [row][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/dicPIsr.png?1[/img][/cell][cell][sup][color=d8cfbe][h3]Ruel Immolis[/h3][/color][/sup]age: 15 [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] gender: M [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] affiliation: House Immolis [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] gate: Ice height: 5'5 [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] build: Needs to Drink More Milk [color=d8cfbe]❀[/color] notable features: /[i] [indent][color=d8cfbe]"Ah...

Despite this, he assumed the position of Lord Immolis following his father's peaceful death a year ago. There isn't much to say about him. He's never even been seen outside of his estate. The only reason people know what he looks like is from visiting him personally. His own motivations and ideals are unknown. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say they would be identical to that of his father, brother, and the majority of past members of House Immolis. That is - anti-technologist almost to the point of radicalism. Immolis will be making his first appearance at Harrow's Tower accompanied by his brother.

Instead, he goes on great adventures, exploring Teliv and making intricate maps of what he finds. Mostly nothing, considering the great divide between Croania and the other two continents. He's also been to Nolore and Ashket a fair bit, the most knowledgable of any Croanian born human. Vector's appearance has deteriorated over the years, but his personality has not. The man himself has returned to land to attend the talks, alongside two of his heirs. He's known as a boisterous man who loves to brag about his exploits and adventures.

Croania's least-most eligible bachelor. He's married to his power suit and his only heir is the lamp on his bedside table. They're called 'Angeline' and 'Lampert' respectively. As a person, he's very boisterous with a larger than life character. Not in an unpleasant way. He can be very entertaining. As a technologist lord, Kothlin will absolutely be attending the talks. They are instrumental to him and his position. Which side he'll be on should be obvious.

The scientist lord has driven forward technology and development in the North far beyond expected levels, and she makes sure that everyone she meets knows it. She has a minor rivalry with her daughter. They compete to see who can make the most innovative device in a short amount of time. Reina is up 5-3 as of the last battle. She will be attending the talks, with the intention of gaining more funds for her house to use in the education and research sectors. She is also looking for lessened restrictions on what fields her scientists are allowed to study.

Whatever social awareness she has is smothered by condescending tones and superiority that she will not stop reminding you about. Elise is spoilt, that's for sure. She'll stop at nothing to get her own way. It's often to settle for a compromise with her, even if they often favour her more than anything. Fanatically loyal to House Dalris, Elise will be at the talks representing everything her house is about. Money and power.

He mainly works at various divisions in House Immolis, hunting down criminals and delivering sweet, sweet justice. When the 'Mad Dog' Cedric is on your tail, you're as good as dead. (He didn't choose that name himself.) He's fine enough to work with - good teamwork is part of the job description. As a person, he's far from the most pleasant. We'll leave it at that.

Her father became Lord Seler when she was ten, then began to go on his long expeditions once she turned thirteen, leaving the house in her hands. Ever since then, he hasn't been on the continent for longer than a month at a time. While the heirs tend to run the whole thing together, Verity is as close to a sole ruler as it gets. The distaste for her father and those beastmen she feels as a result is no secret. Verity takes everything seriously. Her own unique brand of humour is dry and mocking. She often takes matters into her own hands. It is the incompetency of other people that leads to failure. And throughout her life, she has seen an awful lot of mistakes. Why, she lives with three of them.

[indent][color=d8cfbe][i]"You'll find I don't care much for my father's taste in women."[/i][/color][/indent]The second child of Vector Seler - or the second child he's recognised as an heir. Veer stands out from his family and just about anyone else due to his unusual red hair he inherited from his technologist mother. It's not recommended to mention it to him. He'll deck you. This may have contributed to the deep disgust for Northerners that Veer has developed. Veer shares a lot with his siblings. A stern and serious personality as well as a love for the sea and sailing. There are differences. Veer's temper is much shorter than the others', though he tries to act dismissive and as if he isn't bothered by anything.

Arthur's own creation, a lamp that hasn't moved from his bedside for the last 20 years. The bone part was acquired from an auction. They're not real. Probably. Lampert is constructed from the bones of an arm and most of a hand kept together with glue and hinges, allowing it to bend. The hand is missing all of its fingers. Luckily, Kothlin's superglue will keep the light part fixated to the palm of the hand. Lampert will be remaining at home for the talks for its safety.

Skilled in all things electronic and mechanical, she can assemble and disassemble almost any device in a matter of minutes. Her expertise and heritage landed her an easy research position in her mother's labs. She spends most of her time in them. While she is attending the talks, she is not going as a representative. Her mother is there. Instead, Christina will be overseeing security in the tower, as well as acting as a pseudo-arbiter outside of the negotiations room.

His reputation is something of a miracle. Something else he is known for is his swordsmanship, which he has the skills to back up as well. A shame that swords aren't the most practical of weaponry. Very pro-technologist. What he lacks in brain cells he makes up for in enthusiasm and bravado.

He dresses in a full suit with a fur cape, a top hat, and a funny mask. He never seems to meet your eyes. He's almost always holding Christina Young's hand. All these oddities are explained when you learn that he's blind. He hasn't let his condition get in the way of happiness, however. Reason will gladly joke, laugh, drink, and sing as if he were a normal man. He's even engaged to a technologist heir by the name of Christina Young.
