House Thorn

House Thorn is a dynasty of sorcerers.

History
House Thorn is known for the darkest of all magics: necromancy, with which the house's founder, Baltasar Thorn repelled the Founderlander invasion of 1510 using an army of dead soldiers raised to fight for King Alfred (War of Bones). Though this form of magic is classified as a forbidden art as of the Reforms of 1672, with exceptions to be used during wartime.

The grimoire of necromancy (Chronicles of the Dead) created by Baltasar only opens to members of the House. The might of House Thorn is believed to be the reason why Austermeer's enemies do not advance against them since the War of Bones. Nathaniel Thorn is the last remaining member of the family, in the effort to stop the Chronicles of Dead malefict Nathaniel had to destroy the grimoire.
