Purportedly founded by the descendants of expertalchemists Ian Bruce and Brian Blackburn[1], the Blackburn-Bruce family was a family of noveau riche who parleyed wealth[2] into ownership of Blackburn's Crossing (along with a portion of the Arden River)[3] and noble status.[2] Famous for their interest in alchemy, they fled when public opinion turned against them in the wake of the Apparatus incident (579 BC). Even prior to that disaster, rumors spread of the Bruce-Blackburns' perverse experiments conducted in the countryside, enabling the family's competitors to make inroads against the Blackburn-Bruce family's interests before the Apparatus incident.[2]

Now but a husk of its former self, the family manor straddles the Arden River[1].
