Founding Families
In and around the Tamarack River Valley, seven families have stood the test of time, maintaining a continued presence in either Tamarack Falls or Fort Brunsett since roughly a century of the town/city's founding. The locals are quite proud of their ties to history, even if some of those ties are on the left side of the law...
These families are pre-built playgroups, each with NPC members and histories of their own, which staff will be happy to explore. While some families are predisposed toward certain spheres, there is no hard limit, and all concepts which fit the theme will be considered. Family members additionally gain access to discounted skills/merits.
Brief overviews are given below, with more in-depth information available on each family's page.
