[Noble House]
Name of Family: Kimura
Head of Family: Migi Kimura
Heritage: Mixed, primarily Krytan with strong Imperial Canthan influence
Coat of Arms: An oak tree growing before a gate, on a field of green
Notable for: Overview various farms in Kryta, elementalists, loyal to the crown
Additional Info: 

- Migi is not a Kimura by blood, but by adoption.

- The original heir was presumed dead, then later returned to the family. She has not challenged Migi's title of lord.

[Dracyon Imperius.6309]

[Noble House]
Name of Family: Imperius.

Head of Family: Morarkhan Dracyar Imperius

Heritage: overtly Ascalonian, but with mixed Krytan and Elonan heritage through mariage. 

Coat of Arms: Black rampant griffon on red background (old), currently with a white background (as of Morarkhan).

Family estate: the barony of Ravenrock, on the side of the Witherflank River in the Gendarran Fields, north of the Ascalonian Settlement.

Notable for: involvement with the Ascalonian diaspora, with each baron serving in some capacity against the Charr, or more recently, with the Pact; elementalists; politically attached to the feudal system, with a tense relationship to the Crown but overall loyalty.

Additional information:

- House Imperius is descended from Dracyon, the kitten son of an Ascalonian noble, and head of the Raven Hunters guild during the Krytan Civil War, during which his services earned him a barony.

- The current head of the house, Morarkhan, a veteran arcanist and powerful elementalist, was recently chosen by the local nobility as minister for the Witherflank baronies, a small district beleaguered by centaurs. Reputedly cautious but loyal, he serves on the Ministry Committee for Justice. His votes tend to be critical of royal centralisation, and his speeches are overtly critical of mission creep by institutions with little oversight, such as the Pact or the Shining Blade.

- House Imperius has, for six generations, been ably served by chancellors and housecarls descended from Haldar, Dracyon's second son, who married into the Agon minor noble family. Darien Agon currently serves as the house's chancellor, while his son Valeryan serves as the baron's housecarl and bodyguard.
