Family Lore
House von Eisner began humbly as sailors, bent upon building a network of trade and power in the unforgiving Calderligan seas. They served the Hanse, and by association, the upper-class nobility of the region. They manned ships for generations, strengthening their craft. The family was successful from the beginning, each generation improving upon the last. Finally, they were given the captaincy of a sizable ship for their own use, thus giving the start of the von Eisner company.
The man credited with kicking off the family's modern success was known as Markus von Eisner, who laid the foundations of the present-day Handel von Eisner. Markus was ambitious, a trait shared by many in his family. During his time at the helm of the literal, and figurative, von Eisner ship Markus vastly expanded the family business. He acquired many vessels for the family during his lifetime, as well as building an immense trade network. He also married into another strong merchant family, merging the two into an even greater house. The family was booming, and Markus had now given birth to his firstborn son, Otto, with his wife Anneli.
By the time of his death, Markus had increased his family's wealth tenfold. With the mantle of responsibility now passed down to Otto. This change was far from beneficial to the greater ideals of the family and company. Otto was incapable of leading, and far from responsible enough to manage the entirety of the company. He was soft. In the end, he did one thing to benefit his family- marry and reproduce to attempt at rebuilding the broken Handel von Eisner. Otto recognized his own inability to lead and passed down the patriarchy to his firstborn, Erick von Eisner- when he reached twenty years of age.
Erick did not fall privy to the failures of his father and instead grew up looking to his ancestors. The man had inherited the mind and attitude of his grandfather and began on the path to rebuilding his house and business. After a couple of years of work, renegotiating unfair and damaging trade deals while making new, far more advantageous ones, Erick decided to relocate the family and Handel von Eisner to the Holy City. Thus, modern history begins, a group of advantageous and strong-willed merchants looking to build their reputation and business in the unforgiving landscape of Regalia.
