The House of Skarnstein

The House of Skarnstein
A faction in Krevborna

The nobles of the House of Skarnstein are the sages and scholars of the Lamashtu. The members of House Skarnstein relentlessly pursue forbidden knowledge; their libraries rival those of Creedhall University. The leaders of the house are vampires, but the Skarnstein bloodline is tainted; the body of anyone transformed into a vampire by a member of House Skarnstein is warped into a hideous, gargoyle-like form. The house is currently led by Baron Nikolai Skarnstein. 
    • Motto. “We are monstrous in form, but wondrous in our thoughts.”
    • Belief. Knowledge is power.
    • Goal. Master the technology left behind by the Lilituan Empire to usurp the throne of Lamashtu.
    • Quest. Uncover the means to cure the Skarnstein of their accursed appearances.
