House Emberfall is a heavy roleplaying guild on the  Horde faction of the  Earthen Ring server. The guild's themes are nobility, power, corruption, and greed.

=History=

Before and During the Third War
The original House Emberfall was a small family and its relations of moderate influence in the city of Dalaran. The Emberfall family was known for its fire mages and assisted the Kirin Tor' tireless magical research. From an early age family members were expected to show aptitude in the pyromatic arts.

Coranasus P. Emberfall, the last mortal head of the family, was once an assistant to Archmage Allistarj, a prestigious--though prolific--duty. During the years before the severance of the Emberfall line the house held orchards in Hillsbrad, two horse ranches in the  Arathi Highlands, and invested in small precious metal mining operations throughout the  Eastern Kingdoms. The ventures paid off well, allowing for the house to amass a small, but considerable savings.

Upon the death of Coranasus and all heirs, the city administration dissolved the house and claimed default custody of all its possessions. That which was once the house's properties disintegrated as the Third War ravaged the Eastern Kingdoms. The lands were in ruin, or appropriated with a majority of the house coffers by Alliance authorities. The families once part of House Emberfall were scattered or extinguished in the turmoil of the times, and few in the Alliance recalled the house's history beyond the brutal deaths of the heads and the disappearance of their estranged daughter.

Post-Third War
Interest in the Emberfall line was rekindled with the appearance of Lilithia. The Forsaken woman claimed to be Lilithia Elianas Emberfall, the only member of the family whose body was not found in the house's burnt manor. Seeking her birthrights, the undead noble appealed to Dalaran for the return of her family's properties and restitution for earnings lost to the Alliance during their seizure. Lilithia's letters to the magocracy were quickly dismissed as either a hoax, or the attempts of an abomination to reclaim that to which it no longer had rights.

Through research, Lilithia discovered an unclosed account, grown fat with interest, in Silvermoon under the Emberfall house's name. However, only a representative from House Emberfall with proper documents of peerage could lay claim to the money. Eager to for wealth and power, Lilithia schemed to find a way into Dalaran, steal the paperwork and deeds of her deceased family, seek recognition by the noble courts of Silvermoon, and restore House Emberfall to establish her political power in Horde. Wishing not to risk her wellbeing in such a theft, she exercised her dark contacts and located the an agent of the Grey Tiger Tong to retrieve the documents.
