Court of Thorns
The Court of Thorns is an alliance of Vampires that was formed in the Age of Darkness during the War of Thorns to unite their collective powers against the attacking militias from The Silver Road. While there was no defined leader of the group, the bloodlines Toreador and Ambrose were seen as de facto leaders due to the power that Isabella Toreador and Markov Ambrose had in the Imperial Fractals.
At its peak, this alliance was the most formidable power in the Imperial Fractals for almost a century. The army of Undead husks and thralls under its command numbered greater than any fighting force even by today’s standards and they were able to carry out aerial attacks on The Silver Road with winged Undead monstrosities and wage land war across the region. Though as the war stretched on and Vampire Lords began to be defeated by the militias and a fledgling new Valedori Empire, they grew more desperate in their pursuit of greater power. Legends speak of the vampire’s delving further into blood magic and the Shadeweave in search of power to win the war, including digging deep into the core of the Fractals themselves in search of the Knotted Stone core. None such constructions or lairs have been found.
