Rooke Family

The Rooke Family was an Istrian mercantile organization operating out of Avredence, with connections to numerous neighboring kingdoms and independent actors. By the 1520s, membership numbered nearly 200.

The wealthiest of the Rookes would take the organization's name and pass it down to their children, who would inherit their duties upon their death. Severing ties with the Rooke Family carried a political weight that, in extreme cases, meant an exile from the kingdom and excommunication from fellow Rookes.
