Vandahl Wight

A ranked ancestor of House Vandahl that has lingered long enough to walk — proud, territorial, and obsessed with the counting and precedence of bloodline above all else.

The Vandahls bury their dead by rank, interring the most powerful deepest. A Vandahl with enough grave-goods and enough pride lingers for decades beneath the stone; the ones that stay anchored long enough eventually stand again. A Vandahl wight does not attack at random — it evaluates. It is still sorting rank, still counting worth, still enforcing the precedence its living house once held. Trespassers of low bearing are driven out; something carrying a Vandahl relic or seal gets counted as kin, which is worse.
