Recent History

The Maret family's history books detail the family's ties to the inner circle of the Lord Sovereign. Even though a thousand years have passed since his time, this knowledge has shaped all of the family's decisions. In fact it was due to this knowledge that a Maret decided to "unite the world once more" bringing several houses under their banner before the others felt threatened enough to ally together against them, thus beginning the second Great War.

The actions of this Maret of course have been denounced publicly and the perpetrating family stripped of honour, but the knowledge still lies fresh in the minds of many; that Maret believes they own the world.

Since the second Great War Maret has worked tirelessly to repair their good name, unfortunately their constant conflicts with Laguerre often make it difficult to create lasting bonds with other families. No one wants to pick a side between Maret and Laguerre and so most simply keep a safe distance.

Maret's lands are by far the largest, and their resources seemingly endless. They have perfected the mass production of simple and effective tools and weapons. Money flows freely into their territories as they pump out a constant stream of firearms, motors, and all other industrial necessities. While they lack the beauty and precision of other manufacturers, no one can beat out Maret for quantity and reliability. As such, much of the world uses their products in their day to day life. A common phrase in the other territories is "The World Runs on Maret".
