Within Nighthold, noble families wage wars that rarely look like war.
Political marriages, quiet disappearances, blackmail, arranged betrayals, assassination contracts, strategic alliances—power moves through elegance rather than spectacle.
Ancient houses like House Nocthar and House Vel’Shar compete beneath polished civility, each shaping the future of the Dominion through shadow rather than open conquest.
Princes are trained as killers.
Daughters become weapons.
Scholars study forbidden truths.
Teachers create monsters.
