House Black is a powerful family that rules over the city of Tharis with an iron fist bound in a velvet glove. The family's patriarch is Lord Balur Black, a Shade who was elevated to nobility by his Shadovar masters and given control over the city. The matriarch, Lady Maenoh Black, is also a Shade and High Priestess of the Church of Ashra. The children of House Black are said to be gathered from across the world, lured away from lives of hardship and suffering into one of excess and depravity. Baptized in blood, the children of Black are staunchly loyal to their family and as they grow they are often subject to dark rites and experimentation, creating new monsters for their Goddess. It is said that the souls of these children have even been used to create the ghoulish marionettes that have been seen in the tunnels beneath the city. Bedtime stories are told in the slums and manors alike, of their twisted, demonic patron and the horrors that lurk within the walls of their subterranean home.
