Descended from the Russian aristocratic family of Yuskovich and the German aristocratic family of Kokh, the past several living heirs claim the title of “Prince” . . . even though currently this title is seen as illegitimate due to neither Germany nor Russia having retained their monarchies past 1918. Nevertheless, the family has retained a reasonable fortune . . . which some believe is due to their vast land holdings at Rosenium Manor, which include vineyards, a dairy, many farms, a winery, a backers, and a flour mill. The manor is in fact totally self sustaining, with over 200 people being employed - including maids, cooks, farmers, gardeners, and even a small orchestra of 8 people. The master of this estate is currently “Prince” Yaroslav Daniilvich - a notable patron of the arts and a lover of music and literature. He is in fact certified as a professor of Poetry in the Romance Period, along with a skilled pianist and ballet dancer. Still, the Kokh Family’s wealth does not just come from a couple hundred acres of vines and barley, but in fact comes mostly from the family’s background in textiles. They Kokh family for the past 150 years have been the owners of multiple cloth manufacturing factories - along with approximately 3 shops which produce and sell hand sewn clothes made out of fabrics such as China Silk, satin, gold and silver lace, and even some furs ( though this is currently under consideration to be dropped in favor of animal friendly products.)
