House Sivis: Structure

House Sivis loves bureaucracy; what is bureaucracy but a maze of words? Many Sivis heirs enjoy negotiation and debate, filling out forms in triplicate and making sure to check every footnote. Every aspect of life in House Sivis is at least twice as complicated as that of any other house. There ar...

House Sivis: History

During the golden age of the Empire of Dhakaan, the region south of the Howling Peaks and west of the Seawall Mountains was a seat of knowledge. The city that preceded Korranberg was the site of the Imperial archives and the greatest college of the Duur’kala. This area was hit especially hard d...

House Sivis: The Mark of Scribing

Members of the jury, the case before you is clear. This is no simple accident, no story of a merchant unwittingly purchasing faulty goods and passing them on. Benn Grennel performed the ritual that charged his tokens with an aura that could deceive simple divination, making the coins appear t...

House Ghallanda: Structure and Customs

While some Dragonmarked Houses have a sharp divide between the administration of the House and the guilds that run its businesses, in Ghallanda these two are woven together. Every Ghallanda enclave has at least one active business operating within the building, and guild offices for the Hostelerâ...

It's time to pick the Dragonmarked House I'll cover in November! I don't want to cover Thuranni until I've written about Phiarlan, and I'm going to wait a little longer before I put Tarkanan back on the table, so that leaves just five houses to choose from. Which will it be?
