House Kundarak (Mark of Warding)
Patron: Kundarak, God of Coin and Locks
Specialties: Banking, Storage, prisons
Headquarters: Korunda Gate (Mror Holds)
The Mark of Warding helps its bearers protect things of value. Using the mark, a member can weave wards with mystic force. It also provides its bearer with an intuitive understanding of locks used to protect and seal.
If you want to keep something safe—jewels, secrets, prisoners—Kundarak is there to help. The Defenders Guild of House Kundarak trains locksmiths, security specialists, and more. It maintains the prison of Dreadhold, along with a number of smaller prisons. As useful as these services are, it's the Banking Guild that truly defines the house. Kundarak's lands in the Mror Holds include deep veins of precious metals, which the house used to establish the banking industry of Khorvaire. Anyone who makes a living from coin—from bankers to goldsmiths—likely learned their skills at House Kundarak. The security of banks bearing the Kundarak manticore emblem is legendary. The house also provides a special service to those who can afford it: a system of extradimensional vaults, allowing a client to store their goods in one location and retrieve them at any other Kundarak enclave.
House Kundarak has a close alliance with House Sivis. Like the House of Scribing, Kundarak has worked to earn the trust of its clients and to establish a reputation for unshakable integrity. The house has no love of renegade members using their marks to turn a profit, and such rogues strive to avoid the eye of Kundarak.
As the dwarves of the Mror Holds have come into increasing conflict with the daelkyr, Lord Kundarak has instructed house heirs to establish connections with the Gatekeeper druids. The druids have much in common with the house, being the creators of the wards that protect Eberron from the daelkyr.
