The Reinhart Family are one of the Five Families of Izril.
The Reinhart’s sigil consist of twisting vines and a single flower, with the vines sometimes looked like snakes. More ornate versions of the sigil included falling petals.[1]
Background[]
The Reinhart family are one of the Five Families that came from Terandria—fleeing from Terandria, to be exact[2] and are among the first humans to ever settle on Izril. Unlike the other four families who have various scions with degrees of power, the whole Reinhart family is ruled by Lady Magnolia Reinhart.[3]
History[]
The House was founded by Aleieta Reinhart, using the [Garden of Sanctuary] and the [Pavilion of Secrets].[4]
The Reinhart family has a reputation of being "snakes" and underhanded in their politics. They are known for relying on tricks, assassination, and poison, yet they don't betray each other. They are rather loyal to each other and have only few of the faults of other families among the big five.[5]
Regis Reinhart, who died 3800 years ago,[2] still preserves the family's legacy in his undeath. The accomplished [Necromancer] closely safeguards the family treasury, but at the same time, he takes from each successive generation of Reinharts, which is the reason that he is regarded as the "family curse".[5]
Salienn Reinhart was another Reinhart flirting with immortality: She lived for three centuries from 1100 to 800 years in the past, and reportedly drank the blood of her enemies.[5] Suvelta Reinhart was a Vampire with class levels, able to fight Named Adventurers just based on her vampiric nature. She was brought down by the Circle of Thorns who also claim to have eliminated the threat of Vampires altogether on the occasion.[6]
600 years ago, one of the Reinhart family was executed in Pallass after being captured in a battle. Afterwards no Reinhart entered the city until the Wandering Inn opened.[7]
About 200 years ago, the Reinhart and the El Family feuded against Oteslia over a dispute regarding trade from Chandrar. In the battle that happened in the human lands, General Ironscales lost her life.[8]
Relatively recent generations of the Reinhart Family have fought against the Circle of Thorns. Three generations ago, Magnolia's great-grandmother fought them[9] and two generations ago her grandmother[2] also attempted to defeat the Circle. Both were met with mixed success at best.
Magnolia Reinhart has had some success as the head of her family. While she spilled lots of blood in her youth and also in the First Antinium War, she also reined in the Assassin’s Guild later and turned out to be less deadly than some ancestors. She is now considered an unusually honest member of her family.[5]
Magnolia's Estate[]
While the main Reinhart house is located in First Landing, Magnolia also has her own estate in Invrisil.
A giant raincloud floats around her house, enchanted to rain on the parts that need watering. Besides its function as a lawn sprinkler, it also serves as a guard, capable of firing [Chain Lightning], a Tier 4 spell,[10] at intruders.[11]
Her house is maintained by numerous [Servants] and [Maids], many of whom are former mages and warriors, allowing Magnolia to use them not just for housework but also for battle.[12]
Strength[]
The Reinharts are feared and respected. They are exceedingly wealthy, as can be seen by Lady Magnolia's lavish lifestyle and magical artifacts, such that they can seriously consider hiring one of the the Four Companies of Baleros and can hire Couriers daily with ease.
The Reinharts have so many connections that if they declared war, half a dozen cities would march their armies at their command,[3] and many people are loyal to them.
Among their connections of city-states and their private armies as well as the personal retainers and forces available to other lords and ladies, they are able to call upon two thousand individuals with combat-classes above Level 20, with over six hundred of that number possessing levels above 30. They also have access to six Named Adventurers, eight Gold-rank teams, at least three hundred and fifty irregular units as well as one unicorn all at their disposal.[13]
