House Mikin

House Mikin is probably the most feared of the Noble Houses, because of its reputation for zealously hunting down and dealing with Shadow-Touched aberrants. The Church of True Light historically drew many Mikins into its ranks, where they often served as clergy, healers or even Shadowscourges.

Common legend suggests that Mikins are so ruthless when it comes to magic that they kill their own wives if they give birth to Shadow-Touched progeny. Legend or not, it is certainly true that House Mikin seems to see more accidental deaths of mothers after childbirth than the other Houses.

House Mikin's coat of arms is, "A brown mongoose on a black field, with night black chevron."
