CrimsonStar:House Orestes

Game: Children of the Crimson Star

House Orestes (Oh-REST-ease) was, until a decade ago, an ally of House Erinyes. But one of their sons backed away from a marriage with a scion of Erinyes, instead choosing a daughter of House Tartaros. Erinyes' elders did not acknowledge the insult publicly, even sending a representative to the wedding to bless the union. No evidence could subsequently be found to prove that it was Erinyes' gift which brought plague into the house, killing the newlyweds and a half-dozen of their closest relatives, but the message was heard nonetheless.
