The Morozovas

## Founding

It is said that Morozova was the name given to them by the Raven Queen herself. Others claim it was Baba Yaga, Its said the Morozovas were some of the first Hexbloods, and as such were more of an "experimental" breed. Their sanity has long been questioned and they are nothing but a little "peculiar". They have been haunted ever since, and constantly here "voices", constantly fearing they will use their sanity entirely.

## Mage Wars

The Morozovas avoided the mage wars, being as secluded as they were, and having no care for an outside presence, they managed to avoid the sheer destruction that tore through most communities.

## Relationship with the Shadowfen

Prefering to keep to themselves, the Morozovas have lived in this forest long before the Shadowfen existed, and will remain long after the kingdom has reduced to dust. They have a seat of table out of fear, not alliance and the Morozova's "tolerate" the Shadowfen as trade is useful. With no desire for political power or the niceties of society, the secluded Morozovas bide there time, waiting for reason to move.

## Morozova Manor

Old enough that the forest has grown around them, their Manor has living walls of warped wood, but thse are not druids, and this is not the type of forest your would see in elven kind, it has been twisted and warped over centuries, there are no paths in or out of this part of the forest and travellers are not welcome. It is said that the sap of the trees is soo corrupt, there sap is acid and their roots have corrupted the nearby lakes. Outside the manor house, are various other smaller houses, shacks, and meeting areas, all embedded in the forest for extended family.

## Members

### Alexander Morozova (Wild Magic Sorcerer, Hexblood, Haunted)

Alexander has always been selfish, even for Morozovas, he grows tired of the forest and wishes to cause a little more chaos in the world. Hungering for more, he has been reaching out to various organisations around the kindoms simply to encite violence and war. "An enemy of my enemy is my friend". "The way to lead is through fear"

### Baghra Morozova (Artificer Alchemist, Hexblood, Haunted)

Alexanders mother is a frail old lady, not long for this world. She has lived a long live, and produces specialty potions, poisons and acid for the Shadowfen, and due to her trade, she often has pieces of flesh peeling back and frequently has bandaged hands.

### Alina Morozova (Sprit Totem. Druid Summoner, Hexblood, Haunted)

Alexanders first daughter often distanced herself from the rest of the family. Cared more about the animals (If you can call it "caring"). the is more of the controlling type, forcing them to be her friends. She is not the sort of person to get her hands dirty, that is beneath her, instead she chooses to summon companions to to do her bidding, and dont you dare suggest she turn into a filthy creature, that is the most offensive thing you could do.

### Zara Zahim Morozova (Paladin, Reborn, Haunted)

Zara => "Zara" (زَهرة) means "flower" or "blossom." in Arabic

Zahim => "Zahim" (ظَليم) means "dark" or "shadowy" in Arabic (Strongly Aligned with the element of chaos)

Zara and Zahim were Alexanders Second Children. They have a very, very spit personality, you see Zara is a twin, both twins share the same body, Zahim died of a horrible illness, similar to Black Death, when he was 5 years old and Alexander.... Well he couldnt bear to let his only son die, so he tried every trick in the book, and with the help of Zara, the other twin, he managed to perform a ritual that worked!!! Or so he thought... You see Wild magic is exactly that, and instead of resurrecting his son, he embedded his sons soul in his daughters body. The corpse that was Zara started slowly decaying. You never know which twin you will get, Zara is kind and caring, but brutally honest and has no filter, Zahim wants nothing except to let the world burn around him, he wants to remain dead, but his sister has other plans. Together they find a balance in all things.

As a paladin, Zara actually has 2 patrons.

Aetherius and Tenebris:

* Aetherius is the god of the ethereal, representing the intangible and transformative.
* Tenebris, the goddess of shadows, embodies the hidden and mysterious aspects of existence.

Zara aligns with Aetherius and is often away in her own thoughts, concerned with the concept of what it means to exist, and whether her brother really exists, or is just a figment of her imagination. The madness slowly seeps in.

Zahim aligns with Tenebris, similarly alone in his own thoughts, of despair, darkness and misery.

The twins often speak to each other, usually in a negative light. Zara insisting that father should never have bought Zahim back. Zahim insisting that he is stuck in sisters body and she should just recede fully into her own mind so he can permanently take control. That being said the two do get along fairly well most of the time. Even if they have petty squabbles sometimes.

### Fobb (Mastermind Rogue, Custom, Haunted)

Fobb and his family live on site with the Morozovas in a hut out the back of . He owes them a great debt after his family was saved by them earlier in life. His opinions are not worth sharing, and he will always do what the masters want. Although he is the wisest and most intelligent being in the entire Morozova family

### Cal Cium Morozova (Bard, Reborn, Haunted)

Great uncle Cal passed away some time ago, he was brought back by Grandad. Ever since he has retained his love of music, often playing the violin. Gardner, who actively gets rid of anything that flowers

### Tobias, Traitor to all Crow Kind. (Druid, Scarecrow, Haunted)

The Raven who was expelled from the court, and forced forced into a live of servitute.

### Balthazar, Destroyer of Hope (Sorcerer, Mouse, Haunted)

A very small mouse who cooks. Very shy, but extremely cocky, hides out of sight and is afraid of the dark, very low intelligence. Believes Alexander Morozova is the greatest sorcerer who has ever lived. As his apprentice, Balthazar believes his name sheds terror throughout the globe. He might be little, but has a large personality (Think Jerry from Tom and Jerry). As the Morozova apprentice, insists that he could take over the entire country at a moments notice if he so desired.

He has a haunted past, the most traumatic memory he has was a test by Alexander, he was thrown in a cellar for 1 month with only poisonous moss on the walls for food. The voices are still in his head, his positive attitude is a complete cover for the fact he is petrified inside and doesnt want to show any of that fear externally.
