Clan Jarcounce
Jarcounce is a newly invented title, awarded to a keen individual built from the remains of a tarnished legacy. The current Viscountess will stop at nothing to make life on her own terms, despite the role of Duchess being set out for her long before she was born.
The Jargoons
The Sword
A knight's sword, inscribed with the letters JARCOUNCE was discovered at an Old World ruin three decades ago. Like many warriors' artifacts, the sword had quills hidden in a compartment in its hilt, an ancient practice to preserve them before battle. Faced with a decline in noble families, the sword became part of an experiment by the Temple, to create new lineages from old sources. For many years, it was displayed at a museum. Currently, it belongs to the Viscountess Jarcounce, who is considered the rightful owner.
Jargoon I
Jargoon I, 1st Viscountess Jarcounce, was created from quills contained in a sword by the same surname. She was raised by the Sanctuary Temple in hopes of molding her into a model Duchess. However, Jarcounce had plans of her own and began training as a knight. She agreed to a slow metamophosis, after which she discovered her gifted sense of timbre and forewent the knight's path.
She has now settled into the role of court duelist: a fencing and psychology expert employed to judge the character of the accused. Jarcounce's strong moral code, grave-serious air, and career obssession often puts her at odds with others, including her spouse. Regardless, she does care for Lady Evergreen and still visits occasionally.
