The Burgess Family

The Burgess family is among the most well-known families in Atria other than the royal family. They rose to prominence in the early days of Atria via the Burgess and Sons mining company, as one of the main sources of the lacrima that allowed the nation to thrive. Since then, they have had close ties with the government, and were often granted money to explore and excavate new areas with untapped resources.
