House Beckett

Truth Conquers All

House Beckett rules the county of Covenant. Their power is mostly limited to the land surrounding the capital, which itself is ruled by the Duchess of Estia. Has a long-standing feud with House Tuveren, dating back to before the fall of the Empire.

Family members

Count Roscoe

(human, LN, 56): Count of Covenant. Sits on the Council in the seat awarded to his family. His wife holds the seat representing Covenant. He is an inventor who spends what little free time he has tinkering in his workshop.

Count Roscoe served a term as Speaker of Estia before Speaker Portia was elected. He has since redoubled his political ambitions.

Countess Catherine

(human, LG, 53): Born Lady Catherine Breckenridge, younger sister of Lord Lysander. Married Count Roscoe in a marriage that was arranged by their parents, but they quickly found love and now have eight children.

Lady Calliope

(human, LE, 51): Younger sister of Count Roscoe. Sits on the Council as Treasurer of the Estian League, responsible for administering the incomes and payments of the government. She is a brilliant wizard, trained at the Archive in Greystone. Married to Arhilwyn, an elven sorceress from Iacaris, with whom she lives in Covenant. Her appointment as Treasurer was a hard-fought compromise - a Tuveren speaker would never nominate a Beckett to this role without being forced.

Lord Curtis

(human, CN, 28): Count Roscoe's son. He is a playboy who has never cared for politics, preferring business and money - not all of it legitimate. Can usually be found betting on horses at the Oakhead Downs.

Lady Annabelle

(human, NE, 24): Daughter of Count Roscoe and Countess Catherine. Is betrothed to Lord Alvin of House Cassaro in a political marriage.

Lady Julianna

(human, CG, 19): Youngest daughter to Count Roscoe and Countess Catherine, and heir to her father's title. Has a covert relationship with Lord Remus of House Tuveren, who House Beckett considers their main rivals for power in southern Estia.

Deceased

Isobel Beckett

(human, LG, 1151-1235): First countess of Covenant and the first Speaker of the Estian Council. A master diplomat, philosopher, and politician, Isobel was the leading architect behind the Estian constitution and helped negotiate its passage with the city-states. She served as Speaker for four full terms, and is buried in the Temple of Heimdall in a tomb of black marble.

Manor Beckett

Their manor is the largest private residence in Covenant, and has a stunning view of the ocean from their immaculate gardens.
