Haus Nachstein
Haus Nachstein, a venerable and mysterious vampiric lineage, traces its origins to the enigmatic figure Erasmus von Nachstein, who laid the foundations for a family that would shape the destiny of Dawnstadt and the Southern Vale. The true architect of the family's ascension, however, was Erasmus's son, Margrave von Nachstein. Affectionately known as the builder, Margrave's vision transformed Dawnstadt into a thriving hub, elevating the Nachstein family to unprecedented heights of power and influence.
Margrave, a master tactician and statesman, held sway over Dawnstadt for nearly a century, concealing the family's vampiric nature beneath a veneer of political finesse and prosperity. The Nachsteins' golden era came to an abrupt halt with the revelation of their true nature. The collaboration between Priestess Elysia Vonheart and Eldric Whitewood ignited an inquisition, leading to the expulsion and destruction of numerous vampires.
In the aftermath of the inquisition, surviving Nachsteins sought refuge in the shadows, entering a deep slumber that spanned centuries. The 8th century witnessed the awakening of Zerren von Nachstein, a scion of the bloodline, driven by a resolute mission to revive his family. With a calculated strategy, Zerren began rousing his kindred from their ageless slumber, orchestrating a clandestine return to the Southern Vale.
Zerren's vision extends beyond mere survival, as he endeavors to reclaim Dawnstadt and resurrect the legacy of Haus Nachstein. The family, once rulers of the shadows, emerges from the depths, ready to weave a new chapter in Eldonia's intricate tapestry of history. As the night unfolds, the Nachsteins resurface, their ambitions shrouded in darkness, and the Southern Vale stands at the precipice of a vampiric resurgence.
