A vintage photograph, creased and lacking of colour, depicting two noble imperials of Garlemald.
The head of the noble house, a tall, pale woman with blue eyes, dressed in an expensive fur-lined coat and ornate armour underneath as she smiles uncannily at the camera, standing straight with her arms behind her back.
beside her is her daughter, an Eorzean Miqo'te, short dark hair and brightly coloured eyes, giving a tired look as she stares dead into the camera, unamused yet... empty.
Noble Houses of Garlemald: House Cassius
A smaller noble house, but nonetheless important. This house has a long lineage of humble military command, having intermediate positions throughout its entire family tree.
However, tragedy would strike this house as a soldier would break into the estate in the early hours of the morning and would slaughter the family with a knife, the eldest daughter, Aurelia, managing to kill the murderer with his own blade. This has lead the young Cassius to inherit the family wealth on her own shoulders. While conspiracies surround this event and the presitgious Aurelia, nothing has ever been confirmed.
Lord Aurelia would rapidly climb the military ladder much like her father and eventually surpass him, becoming a captain as a young woman. Around the same time as her promotion, she adopted a young Eorzean orphan. This child would be given the Cassius name and become the only child of the house. A controversial decision, not only because adopting a foreign child is seen as a taboo by many patriotic Garleans, this would "taint" the names pure lineage with a child that lacks a third eye and outwardly portrays beastial traits.
Nonetheless, Aurelia Van Cassius would be very proud of this child, personally ensuring them positions as a field operative and keep them close at hand as she rose to become Legate of the IIIrd Legion.
