House of the 12th Meridian
Upstart house on the rise with ties to organized crime
Founded by Spenser Marcellun, 12th House never seemingly amounted to much (even failure) and was considered especially “middling” until the 12th Meridian Crisis, when they became synonymous with incompetence and were nearly ruined. Following a coup and their contribution to creating the Marrow Miners, 12th House’s fortunes have been on the rise and it’s become an open secret that it has established ties to nearly every criminal and underworld organization (something the house leadership barely denies anymore).

This collection of buildings—most of which were built before the 12th Meridian crisis in conservative style—are being retrofitted and worked on nearly constantly.
NOTABLE MEMBERS OF 12TH HOUSE
Current Binder-Lord: Tolviko Marcellun was formerly a minor cousin; the brash (still young) human fellow has been lifting 12th House from its reparation debts by seemingly doing the unthinkable, repeatedly.
Former Binder-Lord: Autoxia Marcellun was the leader of the house during the 12th Meridian Crisis, ultimately slain and usurped by his cousin during the Night of Bolts.
Founding Binder-Lord (Deceased): Spenser Marcellun was the middling founder of 12th House.
12th House Militia Commander: Roland deWulf was the halfling childhood friend of Tolviko and has been placed in charge of the militia for his loyalty, though his apparent mismanagement has seen Darkragg Kelline grow in prominence.
12th House Guard Commander: Dakragg Kelline is a human Autoxia loyalist who fully expected execution during the night of bolts but was instead promoted. Since then she has proved frighteningly competent.
