About House Grimm
House Volmark is a noble Nosferatu lineage comprised predominantly of Invictus and Lancea Sanctum. This proud household came to power during the Caroloingain Renaissance in the late 8th Century Europe. It began in the Nobility of the Frankish courts (in modern day Germany), but has since spread across the European continent and into the Middle East, the Americas, Asia and Australasia.
House Volmark embraces those who were born into greatness but were stricken by tragedy. More often these mortals are undone by their own pride. The Household believes that when a powerful man loses everything he faces his greatest fears. It is though this terror and the fear of God that the descendants of house Volmark are taught to achieve greatness once more in death.
This household has a strong neo-catholic religious bent and nearly all its members are devout to God and the teachings of the Lancea Sanctum. Those of a more political or economic bent tend to value exploration and the conquest of land spreading fear as they go.
The Lords of house Volmark have learnt the value of vassalage and household allegiances. For this reason, over the years they have taken on a number Vampiric wards from other prestigious houses. If a Kindred’s devotion and ambition is strong enough these Non-Nosferatu wards can sometimes find their way into the ranks of House Volmark.
