House of the 9th Meridian
Hereditary sorcerers with an interest in ancient power
Founded by the human sorcerer Xantha Eldurach, 9th House is remarkable for its high degree of sorcerous blood as many of its founding members were born with powers and through the years they have sought to broker marriages with aristocracy able to access similar magics. The house espouses a view that “blood will tell” and believe that the landed nobility are first amongst the people (and 9th House first amongst them). They’ve sponsored innumerable attempts at archeology and adventuring (though they no longer do so in partnership with 4th House) with particular interest to justify and expand their sense of lineage.
9TH HOUSE MANOR-TOWER
Rough buildings for servants and slaves ring an ornate tower of delicate scaffolding and elaborate glass windows which manage to express all the haughtiness and gilt for which 9th House is (in)famous.
