Milan is a large, wealthy city in Northern Italy. The Sforza family have long held power in the city. While in 1499 troops serving Louis XII of France sought to take Milan, the Sforza triumphed in preserving their hold.
Preternatural blood flows through the Sforza family's veins, and there are rumors of dragons or demons lurking in their lineage.
Numerous intermarriages between the Sforza's and other influential families have taken place, assuring the spread of the family's influence throughout Italy. One such marriage was that of Ginevra Sforza to Giovanni II Bentivoglio, the Tyrant of Bologna. The present ruler of Milan is Ludovico Sforza.
