HOUSE DENEITH

House Deneith was born in Karrnath, and war

Guild of House Deneith has governed the

mercenary trade. While warriors with the

Mark of Sentinel are among its most elite

forces, House Deneith brokers the services of

a wide range of soldiers, including Valenar

warbands and the goblins of Droaam. Beyond

their services. House Deneith is also renowned

for its Sentinel Marshals, agents that hold the

authority to pursue criminals and enforce the

law across the length of Khorvaire. The Sentinel

Marshals hold the honor of the house in their

hands. Being a Marshal is a privilege, and it

comes with high expectations.

The dragonmarked houses aren’t allowed to

own land or hold noble titles. House Deneith

has always abided by these edicts, maintaining

absolute neutrality and selling its services to all

feels that Deneith should use its power for its own

purposes, not just in the service of others. House

Deneith is also caught in an escalating rivalry

with House Tharashk, which is edging into the

mercenary trade.
