Cipactli, son of Meznen, Father of Crystals
House Father Cipactli
An architect by trade, Cipactli is best known for founding and engineering the growth of the House of Crystal. The exact location of his birth is not known, but it is believed that he was originally from somewhere within the Free Cities of Axapotlan, and that he founded the House of Crystal along with House Mother Aliya in AE 466 when he was 38 years old.
He planned out numerous stages of growth for the House of Crystal, projecting population growth and future-proofing for anticipated improvements in technology, preparing the city-state for centuries of sustainable expansion. He would draw his plans on large rolls of paper glued together at the edges, often taking up whole rooms and allowing him to walk through his plans as though he were already living them. Many of his plans are still in use and actively being implemented to this day. Earlier stages of planning that have already been used are on display at the House of Crystal State Archives, inlaid in the floors so they may be viewed as he would have viewed them. They are protected by thick panes of glass, preserving the visible footprints, coffee mug stains, and lines upon lines of difficult to decipher short-hand that he left behind.
The House of Vitral
The House of Vitral was only formally named after Cipactli's passing, but the found family that originally composed it was formed well before then. A grouping of Cipactli's apprentices and collaborators, the House of Vitral has vowed to preserve both his physical and philosophical legacy. They count among their members a number of architects, archivists, historians, writers, conservationists, and curators, and have held a seat on the Council of Kin since its inception.
