House Nestrodamas

House Nestrodamas is one of the legendary Great Eight Houses of Morne, centered in the northeastern region of Ravnya and commanding lineage and alliance to the magical school of Necromancy. Formed alongside the other houses during the War of the Eight, Nestrodamas originally served as the opponent of the other Eight Armies, led by the ancient shadow-elf lich Xanabris. His brother, Nigelas, betrayed his brother's hopes for conquest in exchange for aligning with the houses and having them recognize Necormancy as a legitimate school, giving them the secrets and advantage needed to turn the tide and defeat Xanabris and his incurring army of amassed Shadowfell forces.
