Structure
Internal Stucture
Persephónē Logotet is the head and the person responsible for her House. Doing so is always a struggle between her duties as heiress and her passions as an academic and poet. Something that most past ancestors have faced. She employs a number of advisors and old family friends to help her actually keep an eye on workings of the house itself.
The Family Logotet is also not a “Noble” house actively rejecting any mentions or claims of blue blood or royal descent or similar, Taking pride only in their academic legacy and showing a peculiar despise towards “god given rights”.
Public Agenda
“Patrons of academics and arts” describes 95% of the family agenda. Usually they don't involve themselves politically but using their cultural and academic capital to influence decisions taking place. With many people have studied at or under the family institutions it is easy for them to be persuasive when its needed either for the direction of government or specific decisions (mostly having to do with education, funding, art grants or excavation licenses)
Assets
Publishing houses, universities and museums, not all bearing their name but through the years controlled by them. When it comes to real estate they have a knack for Castles (or buildings made to look like castles) and generally large estates that are always far away from nearby civilization found in the hearts of forests, on top of mountains or the edge of coasts.
While many more alive relatives exist aside from Persephónē they are all spread across the stars pursuing archeological digs, having retreated to some tower or another or simply having no interest dealing with the work that comes with their name opting instead to follow their own careers or passions far away from one another.
