Chervina the Architect maintains a retinue of several hundred masons and other artisans—and enough guards to keep the local monsters and bandits at bay—so that she can build new House Ghallanda enclaves. These Dawn-Builders never know where they’ll be going next, because Chervina doesn’t announce the location of her next project in advance. They might spend their summer building an enclave in the Shadow Marches, then construct another in the Eldeen Reaches in the autumn, before heading to the Aundair–Breland border to start an enclave that Chervina says must be finished before spring. Sometimes Chervina employs mercenaries from House Deneith or rangers from House Tharashk to keep her Dawn-Builders safe, but often she relies on House Ghallanda guards or local adventurers.
