The Eldarain Four

In the land of Altean, the majority of the decisions are made by a group of 13 families, who control 90% of all the businesses in the land. But out of these 13 families, there are four that hold absolute power over the other nine. Over time, these four came to be known as the Eldrain Four, due to the fact that these four families are all from the Eldrain region in the far north. Although these four families are all cordial to each other in public, behind the scenes they were all jostling for control of the entire group, and to a larger extent, the entire land. But for the past three centuries, the group was lead by the Icetrail family, who are currently led by Jaldrain Icetrail. But now after the assassination of Jaldrain, his daughter Isabella has been pushed into the role as head of the Icetrail family, though the other aristocrats are not amused by this. Now, there is a power struggle, not only for the control of Altean but the Icetrail house itself.
