High Patrician Houses
These family houses include all the most important people in the republic. There are, however, dozens of other, lesser families that are part of the patrician class in Caspiatana. The high patrician houses own businesses in many different industries however they also tend to specialize in certain sectors. Lesser families tend to stick to one trade.
House of Danté
The ‘Majestic’ House of Danté is led by Doge Marco II, Mayor of Caspiatana, and has being the ruling family in Caspiatana for several generations. The Danté family primarily influences control via taxation and tariffs, command of the small professional land and naval forces of the republic, and privately owns some of the largest tracts of lands outside the city limits. The Danté family are beloved by most of the clergy and is so old that they are written into the annals and myths of Caspian history. The Danté colours are cyan and black, and their sigil is a black stag on a cyan field.
