Description:
The Rafael were among the last to be granted their own land and titles, and among the last to pledge allegiance to the Faerish Demesne; to which they owe their rather small holdings within Faerne. While the Ghroda themselves expand to the swamps well beyond the land of House Rafael to which their lineage has been granted, the Rafael themselves control but enough lands to support the singular point of trade they control. The city of Humaktville lies near enough to both sea and important routes of land that the Ghroda have been able to establish it as a major stop along most every Faerish path. The Rafael are a tactful family of bargainers and traders who have risen to the head of Ghroda politic by application of these mercantile skills. The Rafael are proud, as are their subjects, and consider their so small standings within Faerne a great insult to their peoples who they themselves believe far greater than the other races of Gog and Magog among them. They fight at Faerish Court for further ownership of land, but have begun to seek opportunities more owed to trade than politic in recent years. The Rafael have begun to spread the reach of their tariffs and tax beyond their own borders, to which many of their neighbors have taken great offense, while the Fauste of House Blacktail remain at friction over constantly disputed land that the Rafael believe their own.
