House de Beaufou

House de Beaufou is a noble house residing in Durnbarrow. It is currently led by Count Louis de Beaufou, and is engaged in a bitter rivalry with the House Taylor. The House de Beaufou's sigil is a raven perched on a gnarled white tree on a grey field, and their house motto is "To Teach; To Trick".

They are commonly known for their nest-like estate, which is built much like a maze and full of various 'family heirlooms'. Common traits among de Beaufou children are high cheekbones, and large blue eyes.

History
House de Beaufou was first founded by Ferrand de Beaufou in 3942 DY. The House de Beaufou rose to noble status through several tricks and 'missing documents' (which are likely still hidden in the de Beafou estates), all of which coincidentally raise the position of its members bit by bit. This process took several generations, but eventually resulted in the de Beaufou House being granted a proper title: the Lord of the house was to become a Count. Seeking to, again, further their influence, they have recently turned their attentions to the House Taylor, which is a major obstical in their path to higher noble status.
