Category:House Zahir

Unlike the Mikins, who are quite open with their loathing and spite for those who stand against them (particularly the Shadow-Touched), the Zahirs are keen to mask their enmity beneath a veneer of civility and solicitude. They are known as the House of Vipers - attractive, alluring, elegant, and deadly as six drops of nightslider venom in herb tea. They are fond of politics and intrigue, and masters of the keeping - and strategic sharing - of secrets. They often dabble in trades that involve information, from bonded couriers to pamphleteering. The Zahir bloodline has been known to produce the occasional Shadow-Touched offspring. Zahir is represented by a raven on a field of violet.
