Alright, boys and girls, time to discuss some power players in the area:
House Histrois (Pronounced like Illinois)
A minor White court house that once swore fealty to House Skavis, the Histrois do not feed off of pain and despair in the same way their overseers did, they prefer the subtly different emotion of guilt. Since recent shifts in power have more or less destroyed the majority of House Skavis' spheres of influence, Cecil Histrois has managed to shake his family free of House Skavis and has consolidated his power base in the southern Midwest.
Until this recent grab for power, Cecil has been considered a sort of "Frenemy" to Obelisk and its efforts. It has long funded and supported religious organizations and collaborative efforts in the region, and a few of the house Scions that have shaken free of their Hunger have joined varying stripes of the clergy, some who still have the hunger can be seen giving sermons on public access channels and in tent revivals. On the other hand, 90% of bars, vice dens, strip clubs, and adult stores are financially backed or owned by some member of the family. In the past, what few predators that would attempt to set up shop here have been warned by Histrois to not endanger their flock or else face the consequences, and then we were given considerable intel and support to be said consequences. However, the sudden influx of influences has apparently given Cecil pause, who now seems to be more selective in who he would prefer us to drive off. Of course, he would never admit to working directly with us, and even with the distance Cecil has created within the last decade, there are still members of his family that either work with us or are on our payroll, all of couse stating that they only wish the best for this flock of humanity they have guarded for so long...
