The worship of [[Branderback]] is based on the local thieves' guilds. Generally, the House will meld with whatever local guild that follows the ideals of Branderback most closely or is the most powerful. The addition of a house to a guild is sought after because [[clerics]] make a powerful difference in members' successes and longevity. For each region, there is a [[High Silent Shadow]], which is a powerful [[cleric]] who determines [[the Wary Shadow]]'s will for that area. There is no central House; though, several guilds have become so powerful that they might be considered such. | The worship of [[Branderback]] is based on the local thieves' guilds.

Headed by Shortshanks, the Ivory Hounds have a robust Acquisitions Department. The wealth of the house is said to be enough to make kings jealous, and its collection of artifacts rivals that of the [[Mistone]] Archeological Foundation.

Shortshanks is one of the tallest halflings in [[Layonara]]. Born to normal-looking, halfling parents, he hit 3 feet before his 15th birthday, and by full adulthood was just over 4 feet tall. He is stocky and strong and often mistaken for a human youth.

Born to normal-looking, halfling parents, he hit 3 feet before his 15th birthday, and by full adulthood was just over 4 feet tall. He is stocky and strong and often mistaken for a human youth. He motivates his thieves by high expectations and occasional bonuses rather than fear and anger. He is the only high-ranking Ivory Hound to have the affection as well as the respect of those under him. | ||
