House Sylvester — one of the most influential and respected noble families in the world of Terragon, is especially known for its residence in the prestigious Tower district. The family is headed by twins Alderan and Beltran Sylvester, who jointly manage their house’s affairs with the characteristic synchronicity and understanding unique to twins.
- Alderan Sylvester: The elder twin by a few minutes, he is more reserved and thoughtful, often focusing on strategic planning and the long-term goals of the house.
- Beltran Sylvester: More impulsive and expressive, Beltran primarily focuses on short-term goals and public relations, upholding the family’s image.
Primary Source of Income:
The main source of income for House Sylvester is a private organization called the “Inquisition,” specializing in debt collection and executing death penalties, primarily for churches and guilds, in cases where members fail to fulfill their obligations. The Inquisition also offers its services to the city guard, cults, and various organizations, establishing House Sylvester as a key figure in maintaining order and law in Stellar Tower, though often through dark and controversial methods.
Crest:
The crest of House Sylvester depicts a silver snake, a symbol of deep meaning that reflects the wisdom, adaptability, and protection valued in House Sylvester, as well as their ability to remain a powerful force in the shadows.
Additional Details:
Due to their work in the Inquisition, the Sylvester brothers have an extensive network of informants and agents operating both within Stellar Tower and beyond. Their influence and ability to manipulate events have made them an integral part of the city’s political and social structure. Outwardly, the brothers display nobility and generosity, often sponsoring public events and charitable causes, which helps maintain their favorable image among the city’s elite. However, those familiar with the true nature of their dealings regard House Sylvester with caution and respect, fully aware of the depth of their power and their readiness to use it to achieve their goals.
