Clan.
Formed by monstrous immigrants from Droaam,
Daask has been building its power for a decade
and has recently begun an aggressive campaign
of expansion. Humans, shifters, goblins, and
changelings are all found in Daask, but the
organization is built around a monstrous core:
gnolls, ogres, minotaurs, harpies, even a handful
of trolls. The leaders of Daask include oni and
medusas. Daask doesn’t have the connections or
infrastructure of the Boromar Clan, but the sheer
physical force it can bring to bear is impressive.

upper wards, but it is a powerful and dangerous
force below. It’s a simple organization with few
traditions or layers of leadership. Having ties to
Daask gives you allies in the undercity and few
restrictions. But it sets you against the Boromar
Clan and makes you complicit in Daask’s
increasing aggression.

The members of House Tarkanan all possess
aberrant dragonmarks. Rumors say that the gang
began as a secret Brelish black ops team. True
or not, the members of this small gang are skilled
thieves and assassins whose natural talents are
enhanced by their aberrant marks.
The organization takes its name from Halas
Tarkanan, an aberrant-marked leader who
fought against the dragonmarked houses
centuries ago. In addition to its criminal

protects persecuted aberrants.
While anyone can have a contact with the
House, you must have an aberrant dragonmark
to join it. House Tarkanan remains neutral in the
