Kundarak Enclave can be found in Sivis Tower, as the house commands a major presence in the Korranath district (in Upper Central), where the Kundarak Bank is located. Even so, Kundarak Enclave is large and impressive, with marble columns supporting lofty ceilings with dazzling mosaics of precious metals and stones. Security, as one might expect from the House of Warding, is extremely tight. Daphanë d’Kundarak oversees the enclave, but spends most of her time at the Kundarak Bank.
Sharn is one of the greatest centers of trade and commerce in Khorvaire, and it is small wonder that the House of Warding would have a strong presence in the city. For the most part, Kundarak’s only interest in Sharn is business. Aside from the vast amount of gold that flows through the Kundarak Bank each day, the house owns magically secured warehouses and sells magic and mundane locks, alarms, and traps to the many wealthy and powerful inhabitants of the city.
But while Kundarak tends to be a passive house, there are things that can stir it to action—notably, the loss of wealth. During the Last War, Breland took out vast loans from the Kundarak Bank to pay for the war effort. King Boranel has been coming up short on his payments, and the Kundarak elders are displeased. Acting on their behalf, Daphanë d’Kundarak has been talking with the members of the Brelish Parliament who wish to see the monarchy removed from power, notably Lord Ruken ir’Clarn and Hass ir’Tain. Aside from satisfying the wounded pride of the house, this could provide Kundarak with considerable influence over the new prime minister—and this appeals to the elders.
Prominent NPCs: Daphanë d’Kundarak (N female dwarf expert 7/dragonmark heir 4) is the leader of the Sharn Kundarak enclave. She is one of the more respected members of the house, and is in many ways more influential than Ilde d’Kundarak, the regional director of Wroat. Daphanë is a fair woman, but she never forgets a slight, never forgives a broken promise, and has a strong appetite for vengeance.
In addition to locksmiths, vaultkeepers, and other professionals, the Sharn enclave includes 60 members of the elite Silver Guard, who protect the vaults and warehouses. These soldiers are exceptionally skilled, and are all fighters as opposed to warriors. The garrison is made up of 50 2nd-level fighters, 6 3rd-level fighters, 3 4th-level fighters, and 1 5th-level fighter. There is also a small team of adepts and magewrights who specialize in the creation of magic traps.
