House Abraxas

A comparatively young house located on the Western coast of Bal-Morath, founded in 90 IC as reward for its founder's services to the crown. It is said that to live within House Abraxas' lands is to live within interesting times; whether this is a curse or a blessing is up for debate.

Identity

House Abraxas are a family of patriotic tiefling sorcerers who try to make the best of a demonic pact none of them wished to be part of but have little choice other than to live with. They take pride in using their powers to better their lands, resenting the implication that tieflings are second class citizens within the empire and seeking to disprove that notion.

Wealth

Most of the family's wealth comes from trade via Port Abraxas, noted for having the calmest waters in the region thanks to a long standing treaty between the house and the local druids.

Trivia

Nearly all members of the house are named after various mythical sea creatures. This can be attributed to their region of the Western coast being rife with legends of terrible sea monsters; In the distant past it was thought that by taking the names of such beasts one could ward them off, as even monsters won't attack their own. Now it's just a regional peculiarity.
