Enemies & Rivals

 * House LeFleur: The members of House LeFleur has been bitter enemies of the LeBeau's of Grunland after a duel. One of their scions, Guy LeFluer was supposed to be granted a Duke by the king after marrying Leonore Durand.  Although, Jatha LeBeau's surprised betrothal to Leonore interdicted his efforts.  A duel was arranged by the decree of the Lepin King, Duran Durand.  With his holdings in Grunland on the line, he challenged Guy outside of Grunland.  Known as the Duel of the Roses, Jatha famously cut out Guy's tongue, having tired of his poetic barbs, and then disemboweled him as to assure that he died slowly.  Thus, earning House LeBeau the LeFleur's eternal enmity.


 * House DuMont: House DuMont also has a grievance against House LeBeau for the harsh treatment of Sabine DuMont. Jatha forced himself upon the woman despite her objections.  Disgraced, the woman killed herself after birthing a handful of sons.

Jatha LeBeau

Leonore LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4680- Maiden Name: Durand | Titles: Queen Mother of Grunland

Leonore married Jatha as the result of an arranged marriage, as is the custom in Summervale. Lepin culture from the First World favored marriage out of love, but the realities of having a smaller and much more fragile population in Golarion has lead to the leaders keeping detailed records of genealogies and making certain that people are marrying the right people. This tight control also leads to fewer incidences of males killing each other over the affections of a particular female. Though that still happens too often (lepin tend to overcompensate for their ancestors being timid prey animals by being terribly violent). She is much kinder to her children, though she can be distant at times, as well. She hates Grunland and dreams of living in a quieter, more sylvan locale.

Sabine DuMont
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4679-4703

Jatha’s original betrothed. Their arranged marriage had been planned since they were both twelve. The two had corresponded frequently, and they had met several times and exchanged poetry. When Jatha found that he was to marry Leonore Durand, Sabine had been promised to Guy Lefleur as a trade. One that Guy rejected, preferring instead to challenge Jatha’s claim to Leonore. After Guy’s death, Jatha married both Leonore and Sabine, though his marriage to Sabine was a much quieter affair, after she had been spirited into Grunland. Jatha was quick to consummate their marriage in spite of her objection. She accused Jatha of not loving her and he dismissed her concerns as being secondary to her duties to him as a wife, and, by some accounts, forced himself on her. He sent her back to Summervale shortly after. After she failed to have any children, he had her summoned back for another session. After the second attempt she had two children. A third session the following year produced one more. Miserable over her loveless marriage and the stigma of having such a politically unpopular husband, she killed herself by drinking poison a few weeks after giving birth the second time. Her three children, David, Renee, and Piter, have never met their father as they have never left Summervale.

Justin LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4701- Titles: King of Grunland (Current)

Takes after his father, being both proud and arrogant. He is very combative, and an accomplished duelist. He has a very black and white view of the world.

Samuel LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4701-' Titles: Prince

He is also possessed of the same proud arrogance that his older brother and father are known for. Is likewise a competent duelist, and is quick to unsheathe his blade. Although, he is quite politically savvy, and thus has learned that being charming can get one far.

David DuMont
Race: Lepin| Dates: 4701-'

David had never met his father, and his mother killed herself when he still very young, thus he has no memory of her. He and his twin brother Renee, have never left Summervale. David did encounter Jean-Renuad LeBeau when the younger Lepin visited Summervale. After a short and terse conservation, in which David attempted to lure Jean-Renaud into a secluded cellar where some other boys were waiting with the intent of beating him and shredding his ears with teeth and claws (a deeply humiliating disfigurement for any Lepan to endure). Jean’s paranoia served him well and he excused himself, narrowly avoiding the ambush.

Renee DuMont
Race: Lepin| Dates: 4701-'

Little is known about David's twin bother Renee, other than he's never left Summervale.

Jean-Renaud LeBeau

Adeline LeBeau
Race: Lepin| Dates: 4701- AR' Nickname: Rose | Titles: Princess (former)

Adeline prefers to go by Rose. She is the twin sister to Jean-Renaud. She takes after her mother, being polite and diplomatic while being dangerous to cross and ruthless to her enemies. Picking up from her mother's side of the family, she has reddish-brown fur with a slight pinkish cast in the sunlight, hence her nickname.

Weary of Lepin house politics and dreading the prospect of being forced into an arranged marriage, she faked her own death and fled to Andoran, eventually make her way in Soren's Rest. Unbeknownst to her, the supposed death caused her father to start a crusade of slaughter against the Urgathoan witches that were implicated. A path that would eventually lead to the King's assassin by the Fellblade in retaliation. Something that she feels a tremendous amount of guilt and grief over.

Her faked death occurred only a few months after her twin brother ventured out in the world to find his fortune, as she was inspired to find adventure as well. Jean-Renaud was initially devastated when the news of her death reached him while on the road. Later, when Jean-Renaud was pursuing reports that another Lepin was present in Soren's Rest (a female, no less), he accidentally ran into his supposedly-deceased twin sister. He was dumbfounded at first, then elated, then deeply concerned. Jean-Renaud implored her to return home but Rose refused and she made him promise to not tell anyone else in their family. She had found her freedom, and made her own way as an administrator in Soren's Rest as well a newfound friend in the Mayor's daughter, Kimmie.

After Jean-Renaud bested the braggart Gerard Depardieu, and then later befriend him, he urged the proud Lepin to spend time with Rose and try to bring her a happy life. Gerard started taking a favorable eye to Rose but she made it clear that she had no interest in marriage at the time, being annoyed at his and Jean-Renaud's old fashioned sensibilities about a woman's place.

Piter DuMont
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4702- AR

Little known about Piter, other that he still resides in Summervale. His mother, Sabine DuMont, killed herself with a poison shortly after giving birth to him.

Victor LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4704- AR Titles: Prince

Victor, and his twin sister Magnolia, have little interest in politics. He likes building things, with a particularly strong appreciation in stonework.

Magnolia LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4704-4722 AR Nickname: Maggie | Titles: Princess

Maggie as she is often called, having no interest in politics went on to become an musician. She initially struggled to learn to play her chosen instrument, the fiddle, something that her older brothers often teased her about, accusing her of torturing small animals in their home. But as she got older, King Jatha paid for her to meet a minstrel who had recently moved to Grunland and she received lessons. Her musical abilities soon blossomed and after performing in Kyonen, she eventually joined a musical troupe, Peel's Pipers, where she excelled at dancing like playing her fiddle.

Three years with the band and she met with tragedy when the ship on which they were travelling, the Bold Venture, was besieged by the notorious pirates of the Bloody Tide. During the exchange, powerful magics raged out of control and the merchant ship was sunk. She and her band mates were captured and brought aboard the Bloody Tide and imprisoned in cages belowdeck. After a lengthy pursuit by pirate hunters, the Bloody Tide eventually shook their pursuers by sailing into a storm. The Bloody Tide's masts and sails were damaged in the storm, forcing them to limp to a nearby island where they could begin repairs. During the long wait, the pirates took whatever female captives they could find for their pleasure down in the ship's bottom deck. When the pirates came for Magnolia, the leader of her band, Syd Peele, spoke up and revealed that she was a princess and could be held for ransom, thus allowing her to go unmolested.

Already low food rations were strained by the captives, thus the pirates' captain ordered his men to cull half of the captives. But when they came to commit their grim duty, they were ambushed by the captives, an effort aided by Maggie's chewing through the beams to which their cages had been bolted. The captives used the detached cage to repel the weakened pirates and take some of their weapons, but they were stopped by the pirate enforcer known as the Bloodwall. Maggie tried to stab the giant man in the back of the knee so the captives should try to push him over, but the brute noticed her and cracked her skull with his warhammer, killing her instantly. The pirates, not considering her to be a person skinned her for her pelt in some hope of selling it to make up for the loss of their ability to ransom her. The starving pirates, not wanting to waste the meat, cooked and eat her. A fate that later completely horrified the Bloodwall's next captain, Lilianne Jelleryn; forcing her to make some tough choices about whether the ex-pirate could be redeemed of his sin.

Simone LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4710- AR Titles: Princess

Simone is an oddity in her family. She is often sees visions and has been seen talking to things that are not there. Some suspect she may have some latent magical gifts, but others argue that is more likely that the child is touched in the head, or just overcreative.

Raymond LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4714- AR Titles: Prince

Raymond is a fearless youth that is often very loud and boisterous. Something that was endearing as a youth, but may sour peoples attitudes if he doesn't grow out of it.

Dariel LeBeau
Race: Lepin | Dates: 4716- AR Titles: Prince

Dariel is the last of Jatha's progeny, with his father dying two years later. Thus the young doesn't have a real memory of his father. Outside of that, he is generally quiet, and has a tendency to gnaw on things with his teeth.
