The Blakros family is a house that gained prominence smuggling relics and information across the Qadiran-Taldan border. This began during the Grand Campaign in the early 42nd century AR. Starting sometime around the year 4200, the Blakroses tried to circumvent the war zones by making a deal with the Onyx Alliance for smuggling routes through the Plane of Shadow in return for the first-born daughter of each generation, as well as other slaves on a monthly basis. Matriarch Hamaria Blakros finally contracted help to break this agreement to save her twins.
