Despite his father's wishes, the young Miramonte invested family money for an axe, some land and a dream for business. Years of what seemed almost fruitless work eventually began to bring in funds to finally support the family. As further years went on, the growing businesses land claims grew through the Girobaldan countryside.
Years later, a growing problem faced the seasoned Miramonte's business. A new family rising to power in the Girobaldan land, the Wodenstaff family. Competing in the same business for lumber, the two found themselves at odds now. Despite his seasoned business, he knew he couldn't compete with titled nobility. However, he found a better way to approach the situation. After a bit of grooming and such, the Miramonte offered off his eldest daughter to the family. With such union, the two families competition was able to subside, and rather work as one. This union would bring a long line of intermarriage between the two families.
After the union, the Miramontes took over most lumber claims for both families, and thus, profits and exports grew in vast amounts. Later on, with such a grown business, it attracted the attention of the Emperor, and the late Sebastián was given Barony over the Girobaldan region, now known as Cortaghena. Following Sebastián's eventual death, the Family continued on the business in Girobalda, bringing further attention and power to the family, alongside the growth of Wodenstaff.
In more recent generations, Miramonte began producing excellent sailors and captains, members often taking a fancy for the Regalian Navy over it's Army.
However, tragedy struck for the family in 305 AC, as the Emperor Cedromar I had revoked inherited titles, and this, the Girobaldan family had lost their title. They continued to lead the southern lumber business past this event despite this setback to the family's name.
The family led with prosperity in Girobaldan lumber exports. Recently, the patriarch, Esteban Miramonte, passed away in a tragic accident at a lumber camp. With his death, the patriarchy was to be passed to his eldest, Mariano Miramonte. However, the family instead asked Benjamin Miramonte, a blood relative with more qualifications, to lead. With Benjamin as head, he promised a future of prosperity and glory, determined to return title to the family.
Family titles:
Benjamin Miramonte (Imperial Ser)
- Cortaghena: Capital Province.
- Cartosão
- Casa de Frontera
Miramonte males tend to retain Daendroque features through the mainline, while the occasional mix breed between Ceardian and Daendroque have appeared in other lines. Males feature angular brows with hair colors ranging from mostly jett black, to a rarer dark brown. Males have olive tones, attributed to average Girobaldan ones. Their eyes are strictly brown, however with the rarer hazel tone down the mainline. Male bodies range depending on the person, as most are pressed into more financial professions, while others press into the Military, or combat training on the side. Males range from as short as 5'7 to 6'1. Males often tend to be Brash and headstrong, especially amongst it's younger members. There's a firm hold upon Daendroque culture, being much more loose and easy-going. Despite peerage groups, some are found to sport a tattoo or two between its members. Males also tend to own well kept and trimmed facial hair, often in Daendroque styles. Males are pressed into the lumber business or military service. The family produces excellent sailors, bankers, and businessmen.
Miramonte Females:
Miramonte females hold much softer features compared to the males. Females retain the same shades of black and browns whilst showing greater variety in their ranks. The same goes for eye color, as more mainline females show variation of hazel. Females hold the same olive tones as males, but can show lighter tones as well. Women are much more on the shorter side, as they reach as short as 5'2 and as tall as 5'8. While retaining the looser culture of Daendroque, females are held to a higher standard than males. They're more expected to attend education schools over combat, But only retain slightly more mannerisms than males. Miramonte women are seen to gravitate towards more intellectual or artistic pursuits in the family, such as painting, finance, or some even Government. They, like the males, hold a firm passion for Daen culture and its aspects.
