Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 818578" data-attributes="member: 1125">Clan PalmoraAnton Palmora is the current patriarch of the Palmora clan who have raised and harvested Silk Fish since before the founding of the city. As the scion of an old family Anton is a strict and proud traditionalist, who does not approve of change and is often considered stubborn and pigheaded for his unwillingness to consider new ideas and innovations. Anton is married to Layla Palmora (a daughter of the Adovan clan) and has five sons and three daughters. His eldest son (Tomas) runs the marketing side of the business, whilst his second Sebastiano Palmora is Commander of the Mors End Military. His Third son Jano managers the families fish ponds (essentially large fish traps were Silk Fish are herded in order to harvest easily) his fourth son Marius is a student. Two of Antons daughters are married and still live in the area and the youngest two children (twins) are at home.The Palmora clan have holdings South West of the City including a large fortified manor and an extensive region of Lakeside where they have crafted large silkfish holding ponds.  Their estate also includes a historic camp site which the Mors End university has studied extensively and which the Palmora's use as evidence of their ancestral claim - it is beleived that historically elf clans would seasonally visit the campsites and harvest the lake (they also claim to be the original worshippers of the Great Fish). Besides the ponds the estate includes a small thorp occupied by tenant Silkfish harvesters and the Palmora's have built a large silk fish warehouse here in which the water silk is dried and processed. Jano Palmora has implemented an innovative system which awards a percentage of profits from the Water Silk sales to the tenants. These tenants are also free to fish the lake for food but must pay rent for lands used as gardens. The village is protected by a wooden stockade fence however in times of danger the usual practice is to take to the Lake relying on the Great Fish Enoria for protection.Besides Watersilk the Palmora's are also involved in Perch fishing and have investments in vinyards and other business north of the city.  Unlike his brother Jano (who prefers he rural life) Tomas has loves the urban life of a Mors End merchant. Luckily he has a reasonable business savvy and has been able to make some good investments in various merchantile enterprises including a WaterSilk tailor and a trade caravan. Nonetheless he does have a weakness for a pretty face and his father and more recently his brother Sebastiano have had to pull him out of a few compromising positions. Anton Palmora reluctantly spends equal time between the City  and his lands, and though he would rather avoid city life he knows that he must be a face of Silkfisher tradition in a city in which his people are a minority. He is respected on the Council and beleives he has the ear of Lady Kelvin. He does hold the Trident of Enoria (a semi-religious artifact and the symbol of his office as Harvest Master of the Silkfisher Conclave.</blockquote>
