Mark of Scribing

The Mark of Scribing gives its bearers access to a variety of power related to the written word and communication, often over great distances.

House

The members of House Sivis are the carriers of the Mark of Scribing and through their Speakers Guild they have traditionally offered service as both translators and mediators between different races but in recent years the house has served a primary role in the creation and maintenance of the @Communication Arrays that allows for easy long distance, near instantaneous messaging between towers. House Sivis also has its hand in the businesses of notories, publishers, and newspaper companies.

Unmarked members are usually translators, mediators, messengers and some truely charismatic members have become excellent diplomats.
