Cartel del Flor

About the Cartel

Cartel del Flor's distinguishing feature is its close alliance with the human House Pontevecchio. The Pontevecchio and del Flor arms even feature in each other's heraldry.

If any of the elven Cartels can be said to be old and noble, Cartel del Flor has the oldest money and the most impressive magic. del Flor mages were instrumental in creating the Utopian island city of Terabitia from out of the waves - definitely a novel approach to colonialism, why conquer a country when you can just make one yourself? That couldn't possibly backfire...

Cartel del Flor seems content to be a trading power for the present - though its younger members agitate to begin a Conquista in the name of the Cartel's patron gods. not much is known about del Flor's religious leanings, other than their enthusiasm for water related holy sites (including their great island city, Terabitia, of course).
