"Following the dissolution of the Transylvania Colony claim in 1783, and driven to find a piece of land that "monarchal fools couldn't ruin with their treachery" a number of families drifted eastward into the Appalachians.
Amongst those families were two distinct clans, the Vlaszy and the Obertus. These two clans are Familie de Sange of the Dragosani, and practice rites of sorcery known as Koldunism.
In the mountains of West Virginia they have lived wild and free. They have been joined by other clans of mountain folk, and have earned a reputation of people to be respected and feared. They DO NOT deal with outsiders that have not been approved by the Dragosani, and will NEVER disobey their masters, as their ancient blood runs in the clan veins.
Alexei is the patriarch of the Dragosani in this region, so they have fostered him whenever he comes through...
Their practices:
Largely self sufficient, often been mistaken for Amish, until you notice the elaborate folk patterns woven into the vests and shawls of the adults, the men's wide variety of facial hair, and their familiarity with technology, writing, and reading.
They have a knowledge of herbal medicine and medical practice that puts most doctors to shame, and their animal husbandry skills are second to none.
If they have to interact with outsiders they are polite and very hospitable, provided you do not slight them. If you do, you pay in blood.
And they have no love of Christian religion, refusing to enter any Christian church."
