House Lamia

History
Long through the centuries have rumors circulated of skilled assassins that lingered in the shadows, a taste for murder upon their silver tongues, serpentine eyes hungry for power.

Some say they were defectors of the Order of Whispers, others that they dabbled deeply into dark, forbidden arts - Fanatics of Grenth thirsty for blood.

Breathe not a word of them, most folks say, as they may come like black smoke, whisking your loved ones away through the icy grasp of death left behind in their wake.

Cold and cunning, like the slitted eyes of the familiars they raise. Vicious and venomous like the vipers they worship. Practitioners of murder, the bittersweet taste of poison on their lips, in their souls.

More a Coven than a House of Kruzick Nobility, House Lamia consists of powerful necromancers devoted to Grenth and his teachings, practitioners of dark magic and witchcraft. Lead by the High Priestess, Lady Tanith, the House of Vipers dwells in the shadows of Godslost Swamp where their estate looms in eerie seclusion, a place only the brave or foolish dare to visit.

Within the walls of the main estate, it is said that one of the most potent apothecaries in Tyria exists, the art of poisons, potions, and elixirs mastered and passed down through generations of know-how and skill.

Rumors linger on the streets that the powerful necromancers of the Coven can resurrect the dead, for a price.

Whispers spread of lethal assassins, cunning and seductive, baring serpentine familiars at their beck and call.

It is said they are beautiful as they are lethal, pure blooded Kurzicks with fair skin and dark hair, viper-like features hidden until bared.

But their secrets are kept closely guarded, their alluring charm enchanting, bewitching, beckoning those to draw near.

If they dare.

The Coven
Located in the depths of God Lost Swamp in Queensdale, not much is known about what transpires within the gloomy looking manor unless one is permitted entry by those who dwell there and practice within its walls... and not many are brave or foolish enough to try.
