Lore:Aundae Clan

Dhaunayne Aundae, matriarch of the Aundae Clan

The Aundae Clan is one of the three major vampire bloodlines found in Vvardenfell. The clan consists only of Altmer vampires. The Mages of Aundae are blessed with dark powers of the mind; their path through the darkness relies on their mastery of magic. They were led by Dhaunayne Aundae from their headquarters in Ashmelech in the Sheogorad region. The clan also had a presence in the many ancestral tombs around the island. There are hints that the Clan has some affiliation with House Dres, though House Dres denies it vehemently and no proof either way exists. They are native to Vvardenfell and are never encountered on the mainland.

History

Around the time of the Second Era, the Aundae Clan was attempting to aggressively reclaim locations said to be important to their vampire heritage, which included the Daedric ruin of Bal Ur which is dedicated to Molag Bal. One of their attacks in Bal Ur led to the massacre of an entire squadron of Buoyant Armigers and the capture of a champion of the Dunmeri organization, Galur Rithari who was later used as a feast before being turned into a vampire who would serve the clan. Another Molag Bal Daedric ruin that they had interest was Ashalmawia, which was controlled by the Worm Cult at the time.

In 3E 427, many members of the clan were killed by Berne Clan and Quarra Clan. Garan Marethi, a Dres member of the Volkihar Clan for many centuries circa 4E 201, claims to have links to the Aundae clan from Morrowind, though no one has ever confirmed them.

Notes

• A novel Surfeit of Thieves features a group known as Order of St. Eadnua. Its members were known for spelling their names backwards and feasting on people. Eadnua is Aundae spelled backwards.
