Rosenthals

History
The Rosenthals are a proud and grand house from Caesland. They like many other great houses of Carim are of Caesian blood, they however tend to boast they are of the purest strain of the ancient and first race. The Rosenthal family started off as a cadet branch of the once proud Thorne family, and served them loyally throughout the many years the Thorne’s reigned as emperors of Carim.

In 600 PD the Thorne lineage came to an end, leaving the only rightful heir to be Wilhelm Rosenthal the distant cousin of the last Thorne emperor. Wilhelm would prove himself to be a kind and just leader, setting the statue quo for all of his blood to follow. Throughout the change of power the Empire of Carim transitioned rather peacefully, minus some minor uprising from petty lords that believed they held a better right of inheritance.

The old family seat of the Rosenthals would be given up to the Clovis family, which were a cadet branch of the Rosenthal family. The Rosenthals would then claim Thorne’s peak to be their own family home. Thorne’s Peak is a citadel located within the Caeslandic mountains. Positioned upon the sides of the tallest mountain there is only one main road up to the hold, with only minor horse trails being the only other ways of travel to the near impenetrable city.

However a majority of the Rosenthal’s time is spent within the capital of Carim, the city of Castrum. This city is considered to be a second home to the Rosenthal family, where their rule is law throughout all of Carim especially within the inner courts of the city. The current members of the family are Wilhelm Rosenthal along his twins Michael and Katherine. Wilhelm withers and dies slowly while his children debate who shall inherit the throne.
