The House of Fire are an inner guild of the Cosians.
Overview[]
At first blush, this guild may appear as a group of specialists, but whenever plague or disease threatens the populace, a patron may specifically enlist someone from the House of Fire to work with his most trusted cabal. Someone must brave the dangers of infection, collect samples, heal the suffering and find a cure before the disease spreads. There is, of course, no reason why a member of this guild could not work regularly with a Daedalean cabal while waiting for news of the latest outbreak of disease. Many healers of this house excel in every area of medicine save surgery.
In the Dark Fantastic world, plague is a terrifying phenomenon. Supernatural plagues are even worse. The common populace does not suspect that many plagues have a supernatural cause behind them, whether through Jhor summoned by Euthanatoi, lashes of the Scourge for grand acts of vanity, or unusual and bizarre supernatural creatures ("I've never seen that species of rat around here before..."). A patron may enlist the aid of someone from the House of Fire specifically to deal with this threat while the rest of the cabal protects her from a panicky and fearful populace.
