Overview (Work in Progress)

The Capello family's main industry is livestock, with a number of cattle. When the Conte married the Contessa, he brought with him a wealth of many fine head of horse, which are currently being bred to train and sell.

Tending towards the agrarian, war heroes among the Capello are few and far between. They're known for their cautious stance when it comes to battle and given that minor military squabbles are frequent in this day and age, they are far more likely to hire mercenaries to fight for them. As a House, they are fairly neutral and highly diplomatic.

The Capello family is ruled by Contessa Amadea and her husband Baldessare. Together they have a toddler son Andrea.

The current Capello family consists of Amanda (sister of the Contessa), Tizania (Amanda's wife, who married into the family to ease tensions with neighboring Gaspari), and Antonella (baby sister of the Contessa). Morosina is a first cousin of the A-sisters, as they tend to be known.

The previous head of house Bellarmine passed quietly a few years ago, missing out on the opportunity to see his children wed. The Dowager Contessa (named Beatrice) is a strange, strange woman, who has more fully given into her thirst for strange now that her husband has passed.

*This is all, of course, under development and we're open to change! Space is available for a variety of concepts, both noble and common, and we'd love to chat with interested players about slotting them in somewhere.*
