House Caltaris

House Caltaris is one of the Noble Houses of Armathain. They are one of the wealthier Noble Houses, specializing in medicine. They have a history of fighting against House Tormark for their place as Great House, but over the past five years have held a steady peace and sworn themselves to their enemy.

They are a rather private House, but their reputation among the common folk is not necessarily a good one. Their shaky loyalty to the Great House and their highly secretive behavior leave the people cautious of them. There are rumors that they perform dark magic within the walls of their castle.

Traits
Members of House Caltaris have very light hair, typically appearing silvery or platinum, but occasionally more golden, or even as white as snow. Their eyes are typically gray. Their skin is pale and smooth, and they prefer to keep it as pale as possible by avoiding the sun.

Customs
It is a long-standing tradition for the skulls of the dead to be kept by the family. Under the floors of their home, they keep a crypt; a long hallway with the skulls of their ancestors on display, typically decorated with jewels or flowers. It is expected that every member who dies will have his or her skull added to the crypt.
