Calder

he Calder family are synevives in Marn. They are a politically significant family.

The Calders are a business savvy family, and one of the wealthier in Marn. They've always been business oriented, and as a result besides the occasional lobbying effort for some reform or another in regards to the operation of their business, unremarkable when it comes to the political sphere. They're oriented towards making bishani, and their activities can largely be seen as expansionist in that regard. They own several smaller lots in Marn, and have several merchants in their pocket. There's a saying in Marn among the middle-class about success because of this: "Calder-touched" if you're doing well, and "Calder-cursed" if you're not -- the general joke being that Calder has a hand in everything, and if you're making money you've dealt well with them, and if you're not making money it's because you've pissed them off.

The Calders are a very small family, being made up of a single branch with only two generations. As a result, they are fairly tight knit and each focused on the family's business leanings, without deviation. For this they tend to be respected and sought out for their business sense, and as a result of their lack of politics they happily receive all sorts of contacts.

The Calders are primarily allied with the Chronomantiques. Their primary enemies are the Cottrels.
