House Canrich

Overview
Canrich is an older house, known for its Mage-Breakers. In the times of Kings, when Magic was still not widely researched and feared by the people, the Canrichs were praised for the taking down of mages. Now, in the modern day, where Magic is widely accepted, Canrich’s aren’t hated but they are not praised as they once were.

Nowadays, they don’t hunt mages, some, but very few, Canrichs even keep their ties to magic. The way it generally works is growing up, Canrichs are taught in a school of magic to master it. Once mastered and by the ages of sixteen to eighteen, is when they will cut their ties to magic to become mage-breakers. The stronger the magic user, the stronger of a mage-breaker they are. Though, not all are alway cut-out for magic and therefore don’t become strong mage-breakers, if one at all.

In the past, they were still often mage hunters. Since dealing with a magic user could be dangerous for one who is not a mage-breaker or even a magic user themselves, they took to poisons. Canrich’s had gardens full of different flora, specifically of the more poisonous variety, being skilled botanists and horticulturists. It was said in the past they took down Kings and Emperors from nations all over through these means.

In the past they had accumulated their wealth from hired services and now they’re known for their public garden in the Pearl District as well as a botanist shop in Lower Yem. However, despite how successful they are, their current legal endeavors are not as lucrative as their past business.

Allegedly, the Canrichs have deep roots in the underground world of Steamhaven. This is said where most of their wealth currently comes from. Running an intricate black market where they work with local smugglers as well sell their own contraband, such as the poisonous plants they grow in their private residence.
