Shirin d'Deneith

Lord Commander of the Blademarks

Shirin d’Deneith (LE male human rogue 3/fighter 4/dragonmark heir 2) is one such person. The Lord Commander of the Blademarks struggled to restore his guild’s credibility in the years after the Darguun uprising, and he has fought tooth and nail against House Tharashk’s entry into the mercenary market. He has even allied himself with the Order of the Emerald Claw to solidify his power base and to realize his vision of the house’s future. His goal is to use the significant military power of the Blademarks Guild, combined with the Sentinel Marshals, to seize control of Khorvaire and forge a new, united empire ruled by House Deneith. By no means everyone within the house shares Lord Commander Shirin’s extreme views, but in a house stung by shame and threatened for the first time by significant competition, he finds many sympathetic ears.
