Fortune Hunter Origin
Added 2024-09-25 11:46:12 +0000 UTCNobles and families derived from new and old money warn their children about people like you. You aren't looking for love, you aren't looking to start a family, you're looking for a fortune to marry into! Jewels, riches, manors... Or maybe just want to marry into being somewhat comfortable... Very few people managed to do this without some sort of major downside...
Are you a De Maintenon?
"Wealth shouldn’t strike suddenly like a visitation, but instead grow gradually like a tree.”
Those words follow the De Maintenons like a ghost. Fresh across the water and having made their fortune in a sudden windfall thanks to their business, they have everything they could ever want! A fresh fortune, manors, horses, and respect from other new money families. The only thing missing... Well, is a title and respect from the old school money. Thibaud and Mallory De Maintenon craved that title, that respect built in, but both agreed that their two older boys weren't exactly catches. That left their youngest child... To marry them off would solve the problem! No matter what sort of person they married, it was for their title that you were doing it anyway.
Are you a Gwyn?
You've had nothing your entire life. Nothing, you barely even had your last name. Left on the steps of a Church, you were raised as a foundling by Bedwyr, the priest, and Mair, one of the nuns. They made it clear you weren't their child, you were here by the mercy and compassion of the church. You were told that you future would most probably consist of staying in the church. You entire future was sealed because you were left here. But you weren't going to give up your entire life before you ever even lived it. All that it would take is to catch the eye of the heir of the richest family in town...
