The '''Castrillón Estate''', also known as the '''Castrillón Dynasty''', is a [[Caphirian]] [[Estate_(Caphiria)#Imperial_Estate|Estate]] of [[Carto-Pelaxian]] origin. Founded by [[Taurelin Castrillón]] in 904 during the [[Second Imperium (Caphiria)|Second Imperium]], the Castrillóns first rose to prominence through their monopoly of the mineral trade in the [[Kindreds Sea]] from the urban center of [[Albalitoria]].

By the end of the 10th century, the Castrillóns were one of the most prominent families in Caphiria and had de facto control over [[Cognatia]] - a region in western Sarpedon consisting of parts of modern-day [[Cartadania]], [[Pelaxia]], and several islands in the Kindreds Sea, for over a century. Subsequently, the Castrillóns played a significant role in the history and colonial efforts of [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]], and are heavily tied to the origins of the [[Isurians]]. | ||
The Castrillóns rose to political power in the mid-11th century when [[Sebastián Pasillas]] was given [[Consul of Caphiria|Consulship]] of Cognatia. Pasillas and his family were the first to consolidate power in the region, though their holdings would fragment and influence would wane. The Castrillóns quickly became an established family of conquistadors, territorial lords, counts, and governors. During the [[Corvio Scandal]], the Castrillóns aligned themselves with the [[Darciarchi Estate]] - who became the ruling dynasty of Caphiria. To show his gratitude, Imperator [[Artian]] made the Castrillóns into an Estate, and gave the family various noble titles. Thereafter the Castrillóns participated in Caphirian politics, becoming advisers, administrators, and magistrates. | The Castrillóns rose to political power in the mid-11th century when [[Sebastián Pasillas]] was given [[Consul of Caphiria|Consulship]] of Cognatia.
