This does not imply any morality or opposition, on the contrary, it suggests more power in Luxandre's light for it reaches them anyway."* >- *Excerpt from Shades of Luxandre* *by Count Mercurio Lansois IV* # Overview The current Count of [[Crownlands|Quietpoint]], making him the traditional head of House [[Lansois]]. He is known to be slow to anger and quite intelligent. He has a talent for writing which he does frequently even with his noble duties. He has produced many works on both philosophy and religion along with a book of poetry. Mercurio IV devoted himself to the teachings of [[Séllurian Pantheon|Luxandre]] which much of his religious work centers around. He has been making big moves since [[Josette Jacquemond I|Queen Josette]] has entered her slumber and has expanded Lansois influence considerably.
