The pinnacle of the Atrantian arms industry, it is single fullured and made of prime steel with an intricate wire guard hilt that has been gilded with gold and inset with several small rubies. A personalized piece from a city of master blacksmiths, it is precisely balanced for its owner and kept at a razor edge. ◼ Journal and Writing Equipment As an educated woman, Camilla keeps a comprehensive journal, recording social engagements, poetry, ciphers, questionable illustrations, petty insults, and off color jokes. ◼ Violin Camilla possesses an extremely expensive violin that was given to her by her mother. It is inlaid with gold and mother of pearl and is the peak of its art. - N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S - S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Acrobatic Lithe and graceful, Camilla has spent countless hours dancing and fencing.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... Camilla del Atranto is the only daughter of the reigning Duke Federico del Atranto. While the Duke still hopes for a male heir, he dotes on his daughter. From an early age she was indulged beyond the normal bounds of her sex. While she was trained in the traditional feminine skills of poetry, pageantry (dance), and poison (healing) she was also permitted to learn the more masculine arts of hunting, hawking, and handwork (fencing). While she is adequately skilled in the byzantine social customs of her homeland her true talent lay in dance and, not coincidentally, fencing. Her father, ever indulgent, provided her with a series of swordmasters to advance her education. Her ability with a sword made her something of a jewel at the court of Atranto and helped aid Federico in his diplomatic maneuvering. A high spirited girl, filled with the confidence she roamed far beyond her social station, associating with guardsmen and travelling out into the often fractious city. Though firmly in the Vaticine camp religious, Atrantian politics often put the city at odds with the Holy See due to internal Medician power dynamics. Several years ago this resulted in a period of intense rioting where the populace, whipped up by fanatic preachers, engaged in a protracted orgy of rioting against the Duke’s ‘ungodly’ policies. Caught up in these disturbances and the ensuing intrigues and street fighting, Camilla engaged in a whirlwind love affair with a foreigner by the name of Aneillio Edoardo. When order was finally restored and Camilla was dragged back to the palace by her father’s somewhat exasperated guards she was informed that she was to be married of to the ambitious and unscrupulous Duke Cesare de Monte Calabra as part of the settlement with the Holy See, a move that would see control of Atranto pass to Monte Calabra in the event the Duke, now an aging man, was unable to produce a male heir. Camilla was furious at being bartered away in such a trade and repelled by the despicable Cesare and swore she would never wed such a brute. Her father, knowing her tempremeant too well, had her imprisoned until the day of the nuptials. The day of the wedding dawned and the reluctant bride was escorted to the cathedral by her fathers guards. Dressed in wedding day finery she was all but frog marched to the altar to meet the grinning Duke Cesare. The ceremony began but at the moment the priest asked for objections Aneillio stepped forward and swept back his cloak, calling out his objection and swearing to prove it upon the Duke’s body if need be. When the Duke scoffed at the challenge of a commoner and ordered his guards to kill the interloper Aneillio tossed a sword to Camilla and drew his own. The Cathedral descended into chaos as the pair fought their way free of Cesare’s troops, the fighting spilling over into the city. Aneillio had arranged passage out of Atranto on a merchantman but by the time they reached the docks the city had descended into something between a riot and a revolution as partisans Vaticine and Atrantian independence clashed in the streets. Aneillio was able to reach the departing ship and leaped aboard only to see Camilla knocked off her feet by Cesare’s guards as the distance between ship and dock yawned open. With her lover carried off to see Camilla was dragged back to the palace. Duke Cesare had been badly wounded in the fighting and was furious, but not furious enough to have the young woman strangled out of hand. He declared that as soon as he was recovered they would be married and made it clear that she could consider her days numbered after that. Cursing and swearing Camilla was led away to a cell to await her fate. Fortunately for her there were plenty in the city who thought of her fondly, particularly as the grip of Duke Cesare’s soldiers grew more onerous. A priest, offended by the ungodly ways of Cesare, arranged to dress her as a nun and smuggle her out of the city on a ship bound for the New World. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) Camilla is on the run. Cesare needs her to confirm his rule of Atranto and any number of other factions could use her for their own ends. This makes her interactions with the Exchange very fraught if her identity is discovered (which obviously is very likely). Her primary goal is to reunite with her love Aneillio. Beyond simple survival she will eventually want to make a name for herself and to raise money and support to take back her city. As a classically educated noblewoman she is also fascinated by the tales of magic and wonder out here at the edge of the world and will go to considerable lengths to learn more about it. This is particularly true of healing and creative things. While she is technically quite competent in things like palace intrigue and the art of swordcraft she has led a very sheltered life which is likely to land her in trouble as often as not. |
Great Beauty
Known as the Rose of Atranto, Camilla is the model for several famous paintings and works of statuary. While this opens some doors for her, it can be something of a double edged sword if you were, for example, on the run from a bunch of people.
