Skyrim Mod:A Tale of Blood and Snow/Cronvangr Clan

The Cronvangr Clan is a coven of Vampires that has been operating in eastern Skyrim for centuries. The clan's name roughly translates to "spider fangs" in an old Nordic language

The exact origins of the clan are lost to history, but historical records confirm that they have been active since the Second Era at the very least. Members of the clan's leadership claim that the original founder was one of Ysgramor's Companions before falling to vampirism, but no evidence has been found to prove or disprove this assertion. The Cronvangr operate within their own version of Nordic tradition, where cleverness and cunning are valued instead of brute force and martial prowess, and the old Nordic totem gods are replaced by reverence of a Spider totem, which is believed to be a stand-in for Mephala by some researchers.

At the height of their power, the Cronvangr ruled over the vampire clans of Eastern Skyrim, while holding an agreement with the Volkihar Clan who held a similar position in the western holds. In the Fourth Era however, the clan is a shadow of its former self after centuries of decline, and the newly-arrived Quarra Clan see them as easy prey to crush while establishing their own power base in the province. Whether the Cronvangr leadership will be able to turn their bad luck around, or if they'll be consigned to the history books like so many other clans and bloodlines, remains to be seen.
