The Great Rapproachment
Lena Giacola,a has emerged as the legitimate and recognized matriarch of her house. In a tense six day negotiating session, the two sides hashed out a compromise known as the Noyyaun Accords.
The terms are:
-All Giacola banks must operate under a system of simple interest rather than compound interest (This means the increase in how much you owe is determined by how much you borrowed, so at 1000$ with a 10% rate, your debt would increase by a 100$ every year).
-The interest rate is capped at ten % for all Giacola owned banks.
-The murderers of the previous Patriarch will be turned over to the proper authorities
-Augustus will resign from his position as Head of the Supreme Court
-Lena Giacola is recognized as the ruler of the House of Giacola.
-The families of those adopted into the House of Gaicola are not considered as part of the House of Giacola, and are not don't have the privileges and responsibilities of a member of the House of Giacola.
-The number of those adopted by patronage is limited to be equal to the number of the members who are a part of the House by blood.
-Those members of the House of Giacola of Iranian descent, or of the Hindu faith, are not barred or treated as lesser members due to these qualities.
In protest, several members of Augustus's faction have resigned with their leader.
