-           Descended from the planes travelling merchants and diplomats that spread the Kriegstein influence, the Ruhmans are a family split in half.

o    The true power of the Ruhman family resides with Kragen Ruhman and his three sons; Gunter, Arthur, Menard. Descended from the original diplomats that heralded the coming of a military invasion, Kragen’s forbearers all were gifted orators and deal brokers. o    The other side of the Ruhman family descended from the planes travelling merchants that kept the Empire awash in gold and influence. Over the last century, the Ruhman mercantile influence has diminished but with the expansion to the far west and the discovery of the Basili Empire the Ruhman family has seen a significant increase of power due to the financial gains being made with foreign trading. Sigmund Ruhman, the ancient and largely reviled head of the family, has enjoyed this increase in his personal influence and has even openly challenged the military decisions of the Kriegstein general, Maro Amberg. Sigmund’s audacity is largely attributed to the rumors that he has found a new and powerful ally that could give him the ability to finally gain control of the Ruhman from his nephew Kragen and topple Maro Amberg for the preeminent seat in the Kriegstein remnant.
