The Dragonmarked House that possesses the Mark of Making; House Cannith has not been doing well in recent years. As reported in the Korranberg Chronicle Issue on the Arrest of a Noble, the House of Making has been struggling for three reasons:
- Many leading members of the house were lost on the Day of Mourning, including Patriarch Starrin d'Cannith, and Aurora d'Cannith, the late wife of Boras d'Cannith and sister to Felicia d'Cannith.
- The end of the war signalled the loss of many business opportunities, as there was a much smaller need for new weapons.
- The Treaty of Thronehold specifically banned the development of any new warforged, preventing Cannith from profiting from their biggest breakthrough in a century.
If it often said that whomever can resurrect the ailing fortunes of the House of Making will be the prime candidate to be the next Patriarch.
