Iv already posted some of the material here but I want to lay it out like I've done the rest and add a little more depth. Really the Pulanti are just a background faction, filler or fluff for the setting. They do provide a bit of information to the party and for a short time may be the lead suspects for the missing scions but they really didn't have anything to do with it. One additional thing I'm adding in here is through the Pulanti the party do have the chance to get their hands on the deed to the Swordfish. Which if you remember is one of the possible kick off points for the HfCDM adventure.PulantiSource: LCoB, SoG (Natale)Game Purpose: Background, Resource and possible Patron FactionFaction Type: CompanyGoal: To bring their family back to the prominence it once held by bring down the Quinchino's.Background:Presently Thelonius Pulanti presides over the largest of the minor houses. Though the second oldest family in Endhome, the Pulanti's have fallen out of prominence in the last few decades since the Quinchino's coup. With few land holdings left and their once mighty trading empire in shambles, they are on the verge of bankruptcy. Thelonius is now forced to sell off large portions of their family estate to maintain a shadow of the former luxurious life they once enjoyed.Members:Thelonius PulantiAlthough his Holdings are much diminished since the battle with the Quinchino's, Thelonius continues to seek revenge against his enemies. He publicly competes with the great houses and loudly blames Fernando Quinchino for the death of his father Ricardo Pulanti. Esmerelda PulantiThe daughter of a prominent  merchant from the northern city of Bards Gate, she is12 years her husbands seinor. Originally married to Thelonius' older brother Arturo but after only 6 months of marriage Arturo fell sick and died of a fever. Their father Ricardo wanted to keep the alliance with Esmereldas family alive so he arranged for Thelonius to marry her. Their marriage, almost three and a half decades ago, secured the Pulanti as the largest and furthest reaching traders in Endhome for a time. Years after their marriage, her and her husband were plagued by miscarriages. When they had all but given up hope of an heir,  Esmerelda, now well into her 40's, gave birth to Ozmund.Osmond PulantiThe heir to the Pulanti estate, Nicknamed Osmond No Bones due to his birth defect that has left him with two withered legs, is particularly dim witted and sheltered. He never leaves the estate for his mothers fear of others ridiculing him. His only human contact outside his parents are the family butler and cook Gaston and Maria Browne, whom he adores.Gaston and Maria BrowneMr and Miss Browne have served the Pulanti's for nearly three quarters of a century and they take their  job very seriously. Since all the other help was let go the two have been in charge of all the duties around the estate. Maria does the cooking and laundry wile Gaston waits on the family, and takes care of the gardening. They split the cleaning between them in the mornings. The Brownes have done their best to keep up, but with the house falling further and further into dis repair their list of chores are mounting. Their loyalty for the family runs so deep that they have offered to forgo their salary to ease the burden during these hard times.Gaston Browne is an old, plump man with sickly and pockmarked skin. His eyes have droopy bags under them and sink into deep sockets. Though obviously elderly he sports a full set of wiry jet black hair, neatly combed and parted down the middle. For his unfortunate physical features he is dressed immaculately in an old and threadbare butler's tuxedo which is kept spotless and creased at all times. His shoes by the same token though old gleam like polished obsidian.Maria is of equal girth to her husband. Her Gray, curly hair is warn under a maids bonnet.  She dresses in plain and functional clothes with a white apron wrapped around her waist.Face: GastonRelationships:Severe bitterness for greater families, especially Quinchino.Notes:Minor houseFamily colors Gold and BlueTheir family coat of arms is blazon thus azure, one ray of the sun issuing bendways from the dexter chief, properQuest Notes:Fernando Quinchino will blame Thelonius for the disappearance of the noble families scions. Though it would be quite advantageous for him Thelonius has nothing to do with the disappearances. He is willing to pay the Pc's gold and the deed to the Swordfish to secure proof that he is not responsible.(SoG)</blockquote>
