Clan Stormcrag

Clan Stormcrag was a prominent family in Skyrim in the First Era. It was led by Ragnor Stormcrag who led the family to power and recognition throughout Skyrim.

Background
Clan Stormcrag was very powerful, and wealthy due to Ragnor Stormcrag' s profitable mining business, which contained a series of mine throughout the Velothi Mountains. He also made a fortune through shipping, armor and weapon crafting, banking and jewelry making. When Ragnor' s life was soon to come to an end, he decided to turn one of his Mines into a family crypt. however, he did not live to see the Crypt' s completion, and it was finished by his son Agemor. Members of Clan Stormcrag was known to be prominent members of society, they were generals, priests, wizards, thanes, and many other people of importance.

Sorga Stormcrag, a member of the Mages Guild, became obsessed with the power she was given by arcane magic. When regular magic failed to provide her with the power she sought, she went over to performing daedric arts. When the family matriarch Koralla heard about this, she tried to reason Sorga away from it. When there were words about murder, and black magic by Sorga' s hands, Koralla cast her out of the family, and took away every right she had to inheritance, and the family fortune. She also took away Sorga' s right to be buried in the family crypt. When Sorga heard about it, he put a curse upon the Stormcrag Crypt, stating "If the Family Crypt is off limits to me, then no Stormcrag will ever rest there again".

Ever since the curse was put on the crypt, the Stormcrags have been wandering the tomb as undead.
