IF YOU WANT A WALL OF MUSCLE TO GET BETWEEN YOU
and a blade, go to House Deneith. if you want someone
to anticipate the threat and make sure you aren't even
in the room with whoever's holding that blade, that's
what we do.
-Baron Trelib d'Medani

The Mark of Detection is an inquisitive's dream. It
sharpens powers of observation and intuition, allow­
ing the bearer to draw connections and interpret clues
others might miss. By actively drawing on its powers,
the bearer can detect poisons and study the ener-
gies of magic.

HOUSE MEDAN!
Leader: Baron Trelib d'Medani
Headquarters: Tower of Inquisition (Wroat, Breland)
Represented by the basilisk's eye, the Warning Guild of
House Medani brokers the services of bodyguards and
inquisitives. Medani advisors specialize in risk assess­
ment and management, protecting clients from both
physical and social threats. While Medani overlaps with
the inquisitives of House Tharashk and the bodyguards
of House Deneith, the Warning Guild specializes in sub­
tle threats and complex mysteries. Baron Trelib man­
ages the guild's affairs from the Tower of Inquisition in
Wroat, where the house also interrogates prisoners for
King Boran el of Breland.
The members of House Medani are half-elves with
deep roots in Breland. Medani has little interest in the
power struggles that sometimes break out between
the other dragonmarked houses. Many Medani heirs
are more interested in helping their communities
than in raw profit, and Medani heirs often work with
local law enforcement or help those who can't afford
their services.
