House Versanto

Based in Civalla, House Versanto is the owner of the national media corporation of Briece, Versanto News Company. The only non-land owning Grand House, House Versanto merely owns the printing presses, and offices along the Exarium Canal.

History
The youngest Grand House, House Versanto was established in approximately 1400 AE when founder and world-famous poet, Amadeus the Bastard, was appointed as Supreme Taeno Montequillo of Spareen's Serene of City. Adopting the name Versanto and the house words, "Truth is Liberty," House Versanto quickly became known as the house for the common people.

In 1610 AE, Nonna Versanto founded the Versanto News Company as a gossip tabloid for the Civallan elite. Over the course of a few decades, the VNC evolved into a political rag that reported on dealings within the Palazzi. In 1716 AE, the Versanto News Company was declared the national media corporation of Briece.

Recently, Giovanni Versanto partook in the Parade of Supremacy and lost in a landslide to Lodovico Firavanti. Because of this, the VNC has been under close scrutiny by the Palazzi and the Serene of Justice because of the inflammatory and propagandized approach Versanto took to the election.

The Green Suite
Rented from Desica Properties, the Green Suite is a penthouse located on Mount Ending in Civalla. Made up of two floors, a residential apartment sits above the corporate offices of the Versanto News Company.

Printing Press Factory
