Gold in peace, steel in war.
The House of Castell is one of the Twelve Great Houses of Cedronia and is an industrial, political, and banking family that owns the largest fortune in Cedronia, with wealth said to rival the treasury of Cedronia itself. The family business, known as Cedronian Castelli Company (CCC) is the largest domestic company in Cedronia and one of the largest in Seres, being vital to weapons development and production in many wars such as the Half Century War, the Coalition Wars and the current Cedronian Civil War.
