"The Ten Families" is the name given to the collective of Patrician families who lead the Venici people. Each particular lineage specializes in a certain skill or trade.

Scholars, diplomats, scribes - Alerons thrive on interaction with and study of other cultures, and the world around them.

Artano

Current Head: Unclaimed

Military strategists and skilled combatants, Artanos are trained from youth to be leaders in battle. There are rumours that certain members of the Artano family are more skilled at other, less overt, uses of weapons, for a price.

Corvisan

Current Head: Unclaimed

The Corvisan family is best known for their skills at working with metals. It is a mark of honor amongst the Venici to wield a blade crafted in the Corvisan forges, and their armor is nearly as well known for its aesthetics as for its dependability in combat.

Those children born without great innate talent devote their lives to studying the more mundane aspects of elemental theory, along with researching practical applications for the magic. The Rigio family claims the color blue as their own and as such most members of this family will be seen wearing it at all times.

Venere

The family Venere devote their lives to living and spreading the worship of Bellamane. The family of Venere claims the color red as their own. They choose the color red as it is one of the colors of Bellamane who the family devotes their life to worshipping.
