House Nel'Fray
"The mass of Hellions that Deitri has tried to induct into our beloved House Nel'Fray is a sure sign of his hunger for leadership. Full membership must be earned slowly, not given away as a vie for political power. Me thinks it is time for our herd to be culled"
Spoken by Khraal Nel'Fray to Tyriss when asked about House Van'Devic

History
Founded in 1998 at Cuiviëdôr Amarth, House Nel'Fray began as a close-knit group of friends who's only stated goal was to start trouble, but quickly became infamous. In 1999 there was a falling out within the house over Deitri's desire to form an offshoot house., the direction the house was taking, and a conflict with the Corsairs. The resulting offshoot group became House Van D'Evic. The remaining members of House Nel'Fray slowly regrouped as the house became more millitant. Today, it is rare to see any Nel'Frays at all, as the members of this house are mostly on hiatus.

Tasks
The Tasks were a game that House Nel'Fray played in which each member of the house had their own task to fulfill. These tasks were assigned by Khraal mostly but could be assigned by the Gans with Khraal’s approval. The tasks had to remain secret even from other house members. They included things like "obtain a lock of Mouse’s hair," (while she was bald) "steal the Drunken Wyvern’s banner," "find out what the other members’ tasks are," or "assassinate three highly reputable people each time leaving a calling card in the name of the Harlequin Church" (an anti-bard house).
