Not much is known of Ryfon Liafiel, expect that he was born in [[Enmalin]] on [[Conder Isle]], worked for the [https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Vivaldi_Bank  Vivaldi Bank] and died in 1167.
Ryfon Liafiel was born in around the year 416 in [[Enmalin]], nothing is known about his parents and his wife died at childbirth. He worked for the [[Enmalin#Vivaldi Bank|Vivaldi Bank]] where he had a good career. Born during the peak period he grew to be a loving and caring man, helping his friends whenever he could. He never approved his sons’ trickery or racism. He died of old age in 1167.


=== Folwin Liafiel ===
=== Folwin Liafiel ===
Folwin Liafiel was born in on 09. October 984 to Ryfon Liafiel, nothing is known about his mother. At a young age Folwin learned from his father about finances and how money works, as soon as he earned his first coin he already invested it.
Folwin Liafiel was born in on 09. October 984 to Ryfon Liafiel, nothing is known about his mother. At a young age Folwin learned from his father about finances and how money works and as soon as he earned his first coin he already invested it.
In 1017 he started to work as a teller at the Vivaldi Bank, thanks to a recommendation of by his father. Over the years he worked himself up to be an accountant for richer clients, who handled with big amounts of money. Folwin found small extra fees and loopholes to enrichen himself with small sums here and there. Nobody ever found out about this until much later, as his clients didn’t bother to check the small numbers.  


Folwin decided that it was time to be independent in 1188, and he quit from the bank and started a small company that did trading of all sorts of things. With the small fortune he had saved up and all the contacts from his banking career nothing stood between him and his success.
{{#spoiler: During his childhood he asked himself why the nobility had privileges that he didn’t. This thought stuck with him for many years, as he was very jealous of many noblemen he knew, until he came up with a plan on how to become a part of nobility himself.}}


In July 1209 he married Ayen Keahorn, the daughter of a bureaucrat, which Folwin saw as an opportunity to climb up the social ladder even higher. As the pair was invited to the yearly bureaucrats dinner it was the appropriate time for the Liafiel family to receive a family crest, which was designed in November 1209 by an old family friend, the painter [[Khiiral Fenynore]]. With his business running smoothly and the offspring settled, he started to plan the future of his children. His firstborn would start a career in politics and become head of the family once Folwin died, his second born would take over the family business and support the family financially.

After the death of his father, who never knew how much Folwin gained by cheating the system, he knew that no one would question his wealth anymore. He quit from the bank in 1188 and started a small company for oversea trading.

Thanks to his father’s trading network it was possible for him to process information even before they were officially announced.  
Lord Luthais Liafiel was born on 11. April 1217. His father made sure that he could study politics at the [[Elvish Academy]] in [[Ullethhil]], where he lived and studied politics from 1269 until he met the age requirement to be considered for the council in 1417.
TODO: What position in politics?
The next year he was voted into the city council with a small majority. Thanks to his father’s trading network it was possible for him to process information even before they were officially announced. During this time, he was standing in for better trading relations with the [[Darnach Islet]], more military presence on the TODO (first island) and less taxation on food.
In 1433 Luthais married Clanire Faenorin, the daughter of a nobleman (TODO rly?), making him the first in the family to wear a title (TODO what title? One of the lowest probably). Three years later their first son Alwin was born.  
 
In 1392 he started campaigning for the provincial council. During the next four years he travelled all round the province to have as many public appearances as possible, many of them planned by his father well in advance.

* Inaugurated the constructions for a new trading post in Yllhamel
* Participated at the opening of a new Vivaldi Bank in Filhdell as a guest of honour together with his father
He was elected in 1396 and joined the provincial council under the lead of Hagluin Wynmoira, where he promoted trading even further.

In 1017 he started to work as a teller at the Vivaldi Bank, thanks to a recommendation of by his father. Over the years he worked himself up to be an accountant for richer clients, who made transactions with big amounts of money. Folwin found small extra fees and loopholes to enrichen himself with small sums here and there. Nobody ever found out about this until much later, as his clients didn’t bother to check the small numbers.

After the death of his father, who never knew how much Folwin gained by cheating the system, he knew that no one would question his wealth anymore. He quit from the bank in 1188 and started a small company for oversea trading. With the small fortune he had saved up and all the contacts from his banking career nothing stood between him and his success.

In July 1209 he married Ayen Keahorn, the daughter of a bureaucrat, which Folwin saw as an opportunity to climb up the social ladder even higher.
