House Tinean Sworn: Liam (allied Gwydion) Sigil: A gold phoenix with wings unfurled on a black field Head of House: Lord Eric Trayce of the Barony of Pines Nicknames: Redeemers, Furies (vulgar) Banner houses sometimes blur the line between political entities and secret societies, and House Tinean is perhaps the best example of this gray area. In the public eye, the Redeemers perform a vital if often overlooked service, namely going to great lengths to seek out fae that have temporarily fallen to Banality and restoring them to their Kithain natures. For generations, they’ve acquired a reputation for pulling off daring rescues from places like asylums and nursing homes, as well as finding lost fae when no one else could. And this reputation is not wrong, exactly… but it’s only part of the mission of this deceptive, secretive clan. In addition to their work reviving fallen fae, the Redeemers also see it as their sacred duty to exact revenge on mortals and Prodigals who take Kithain lives. Although their main focus is on those who do so intentionally, the Tinean will occasionally deliver retribution for accidental killings if they feel the loss warrants it. Granted, such punishments are still less extreme than those visited on any who take life deliberately, but as the Redeemers note, it’s not necessarily about what is fair, it’s about what is required to balance the life that was lost.
