This page is about the capital city, if you are looking for the dynasty itself, see the LaCroix Kingdom.
About[edit | edit source]
The city of La Croix was established in the aftermath of The Holy War by Mathias Edgar La Croix Jr. Edgar's daughter, Rose was in line to succeed the throne until her self imposed suicide at the death of her lover Eldrin.
Notable Events[edit | edit source]
Assault on Edgar LaCroix[edit | edit source]
In 795 PR, the Friends of Kragnux noticed that they had detected powerful divination over watching their meetings and private chambers. In response, a series of fake meetings were held where the church talked about the symbolic importance of sending "powerless" acolytes around the realm, in hopes of causing the scrying party to underestimate their force.
After it was determined that Edgar was behind the intelligence infiltration, a small faction of The Best Around (the church's own adventuring team) were sent to extinguish the threat. Led by Sir Morswyn the Paladin of Pelor, a group of priests entered the LaCroix citadel.
When LaCroix sent an army of vampyres their way, they fought back earnestly, and ultimately Edgar himself took the floor. After Edgar fell to the sunbeams of the Pelorian paladin, his daughter Rose inherited the throne.
LaCroix (CR Era)[edit | edit source]
The Noire City[edit | edit source]
After the Fracturing of the Weave, the city's eternal night was relit with the sun's light once again and half the citizen's were lost at the sudden reappearance of one of their greatest weaknesses. In the devastation, the priestesses of the Sanctuarie de la Fille de Sang did whatever they could to reclaim order and peace. They instilled one of the most prominent figureheads of the city who survived as their Countess and political figurehead, the vampyress Georgiana Dupont, who then raised her niece, Siobhan Fournier, a human priestess' servant to the position of High Priestess of Anera.
The LaCroix Curation- Primary Branch[edit | edit source]
The massive network of libraries has its largest collection of artifacts and tomes and literature about Quelmar's history held in LaCroix's state. While they have many smaller branches throughout the state, this is the home of the most impressive individual artifacts. This is run by the current head Curator, Penelope Allard, who is fitted, as all modern curators who are have been put in place every 100 years, with metallic spider-like legs that allow her to move throughout the tall book cases and different floors of the curation building without ladders or stairs cases, very quickly.
