[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5735042, member: 40413"] The majority of the detail for this proposal came from IVV. With our new LPF forum I think our incomplete/unapproved/in progress ideas should percolate here and go on the wiki with rules information and approved ideas after they've been accepted. In working to make the wiki the go-to source for rules and world info I'd like to quickly hammer this out. [indent]House Boraga is one of the ruling families of Venza. House Boraga maintains a fortress-like manse in [s]the south of the city[/s] [color=red]Roses di Sanguigno[/color]. Inside the compound, called Palazzo Boraga, is the [color=red]Zeire[/color] Gate. This gate leads to the Zeire Desert, a vast, empty expanse of sand dunes, rock, and salt flats west of [color=red]Heth[/color].

[s]Second, they have received the city's concession as the Keepers of Penitence: they are the jailers for Venza.
