House Campana of Antiva

House Campana holds the crown of Antiva, as they have since the Ancient Age.

History
Antiva was once a minor regional power until the reign of Queen Asha, who was Queen of Antiva during the Black Age, She is often referred to as the "Queen Mother of Thedas".

Asha Campana was a minor princess of Rivain who grew to become one of the most important women in the history of Thedas by dint of her skillful politics. Before Alonzo Campana even took the throne, Queen Asha had already arranged marriages in rival countries for three of their children.

Over the next decades, in keeping with Rivaini tradition, she continued to arrange marriages for her children and grandchildren in strategically selected families across the continent. Within thirty years, Antiva was so well connected that any hostile act would force half of Thedas into warfare. Her bloodline is said to flow through the ruling families of Orlais, Nevarra, Starkhaven and the Anderfels, as well as within some Magisters of the Tevinter Imperium. As a result, Queen Asha is sometimes referred to by historians as the "Queen Mother of Thedas". Asha is remembered in Antiva through a colossal statue over the entrance of the Palace of the Kings in Antiva City. It portrays Asha dressed in Rivaini royal garb.

Royal Family
As of 9:40 Dragon, the members of the Royal Family are:

King Fulgeno II
King Fulgeno II is a proud and hedonistic man. He is very wide and heavy, and speaks with a deep, low voice.

Back when he was young, he had many, many illegitimate children, who were given the choice to either join the House of Crows (where you are stripped of your official family name, and are "adopted" into one of the houses within) or go into exile.

Queen Vilivia (deceased)
The first wife of King Fulgeno died in 9:31 Dragon, of a quick and mysterious illness. It is suspected that the Crows might have had something to do with it.

Queen Odalis
Queen Odalis is the present Queen Consort, and the second wife of King Fulgeno II. She is only 32 years of age--just a little bit older than her stepdaughter, Princess Ferenna. . She was a widow, whose first husband was killed by bandits. There are rumors Odalis had him killed when she realized the king found her attractive, but she has many enemies who would spread nasty rumors, so it is hard to make out how true this actually is.

Princess Ferenna
Princess Ferenna is the Crown Princess, heir to the throne of Antiva. She is 28 years old, and has a great love of horses and archery (she is known to enter archery tournaments, and often wins them).

Prince Azrin
Prince Azrin is the twin brother of Princess Ferenna, born just five minutes after her. Just a few years ago, he attempted to assassinate his siblings, to grab the throne. However, he made the mistake of hiring the Antivan Crows, not realizing that Ferenna has maintained a friendly relationship with her half-brother Viago de Riva (one of the king's bastards), who is now the 5th Talon of the House of Crows. The assassination failed, and Prince Azrin was intimidated into calling off the hit. He currently lives in soft exile in Val Royeaux.

Princess Rioja
Princess Rioja is the youngest living legitimate child of King Fulgeno II, and the only child of Queen Odalis. She is five years old, and looks nothing like the king.
