The Trudeau family is one of the ruling families in Vandekirk, with close ties to House Enderwine and The Crown of Theder. The heads of House Trudeau preside over the military encampment on the outskirts of town, and help repel raiders from The Barrier Mountains.
The Trudeaus are proud of their ancestry, tracing it back to the royal families of Konungdómr – they are always keen to remind their peers of this connection. The family values strength and military prowess, perhaps identifying more with Theder's bloody past than its peaceful present.
Another throwback to an older time is the Trudeau family's distaste for magic, at least in any form that is not divine. They make large donations to the church of Kord, but spend an equal portion of their riches campaigning to shut down The Arcane Institute and heavily regulate the use of magic.
