House Deneith is a one of the human Dragonmarked Houses whose members are highly-acclaimed mercenaries and bodyguards known for their efficiency and martial skill. Deneith are the muscle of the Dragonmarked Houses , providing raw power to a nation's army. Taking sides is bad for business, so during the Last War, Deneith remained neutral and provided soldiers to all sides. Now that the war has ended Deneith members are hired for guarding monarchs and chasing down criminals.
" Galifar lies in ruins, destroyed by its own folly, but our rights and duties cannot be set aside. Our oaths bind us still. Let those who would oppose the law know us, and end their days in fear". -Endira d'Deneith, Sentinel Marshal of House Deneith.

House Deneith possesses the Mark of Sentinel . This mark has allowed Deneith to become a mercenary powerhouse as it grants martial abilities.

History

House Deneith were once just a militant noble family in the Western region of Aldora around the time the first humans began to manifest the Dragonmark . With the Mark of Sentinel  empowering their military might, Clan Deneith waged a campaign of conquest throughout the western region of what is now known as Cairharn Dominity . In the end, it was only famine that prevented them from creating an empire out of Cairharn Dominity . When Emperor Galifar united the five nations into the singular nation of Galifar  he ordered Deneith to protect his new unified empire.

The Last War

Despite having strong ties and the majority of its members being from Cairharn Dominity , Deneith refused to take sides during The Last War . Deneith earned its status as a mercenary house during the war by offering soldiers from its Blademarks Guild to all nations. It carefully contracted its soldiers by selecting battles to ensure no Deneith forces would clash against each other. During the war, a Cairharn Dominity  general ordered his Deneith troops to assault a garrison guarded by other Deneith soldiers. The general became infuriated when the mercenaries refused his orders and retaliated by ordering Cairharn Dominity  troops to attack the Blademark "traitors". The Cairharn Dominity troops were defeated as the Deneith troops banded together with their comrades at the garrison. During the war, Deneith and House Ghallanda  put together a tactical alliance wherein Deneith troops were followed by Ghallanda members who provided them with food and shelter. House Deneith once showed no interest in the political side of the Dragonmarked Houses , Since the end of the war, it has become confrontational with House Cannith  and House Tharashk . The reason for this is simply business: Deneith see House Cannith's Warforged  and House Tharashk's monstrous mercenaries as potential replacements of their soldiers for hire.
