Description
“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” Michael J. Fox Montagues and Capulets, The Corleones, The Clintons, The Rockefellers. Family is often a person's greatest strength and their greatest weakness. We hear about the power of family in everything from business to politics, from fiction to fantasy. It can determine who you are and what path you follow, or it could push you to separate yourself from the norm. Family at the end of the day does matter. Tell us everything about the most powerful family in your world. Are they a criminal empire spanning generations, holding their domain in a iron grip? Perhaps they are moguls of a trade, beating out all their competition through family knowledge? Maybe they are a royal family, ruling over a realm for centuries and bringing prosperity or ruin to their lands?

Prizes
All participants will receive the participation badge. The winner will receive an extra shiny badge, have their article featured, and will be shouted out on the weekly stream!The Brief
Tell us of one of the most powerful families in your world. They can be criminals, moguls, political, or royalty. We want to know how they started. Were they catapulted into history by a series of fortunate purchases? Did cunning decisions lead the family to the top? Did a military conquest leave them on the seat of power?
We want to know what they are renown for. Do they rule their area with an iron fist, or are they more charitable? Do the people hiss their name with disdain, or sing praises about their feats? Do they control a trade?
Bonus points for using the World Anvil relationship feature and for delving into some of the more famous members.
