House Quail of Penthos
House Quail - The newest of the five houses, they gained a foothold 300 years ago. A brilliant rogue by the name of quail conned his way into power through blackmail and shady political maneuvering. After this almost brought the whole system down and threatened to send the city into a bloody civil war documents were provided that proved that Quail was a descendant of an ancient royal family giving him his bona fides. Whether these documents were incredible luck or part of a bigger scam has never been proven. At this point most would prefer not to dig into it.
The current head of the House is Hellevos Quail. He is a man in his fifties who has grown soft.
History
A famous Rogue named Quellovos Quail infiltrated the great houses of Penthos 300 years ago. Using an intricate web of blackmail he set up three of the houses against one another. The three houses were rule bound to destroy one another in a bloody series of duels and attacks until they came up with another solution. Rather than descend into a bloody three way civil war they decided to forge documents for House Quail that allowed a fifth house into the ruling system of the city state.
