House Tordora

A rather old family in Althea, they have been around for generations, even before House Delphine.

History
Mortense Tordora attempted to create a cult surrounding the ancient Milon Statues. He planned to use them to overthrow the Regis, but failed. Before she could have him killed, his own family delivered his head to her. In her mercy she spared them, but denied them to ability to leave Arkham.

Two generations later, there was a disastrous series of scandals surrounding them. The Regis, on the advice of Percian Rotteram, disbanded the family and secretly had many of them, now considered 'degenerate', killed.

It was thought that they were mating with some other, near human species. The family began to change skin color in old age and many have claw like hands that were far too thin to be human. Also, there were rumors of Black Alchemy practices in the family, including one story of a mass sacrifice of virgins.
