Canniths

Canniths are a prominent and ancient dragonborn clan known throughout the lands of Khorvaire. Their history is deeply intertwined with the art and science of crafting, particularly in the creation and maintenance of magical items and warforged. The clan is renowned for its exceptional skill in engineering, alchemy, and arcane metallurgy, making them indispensable to many nations and organizations.

The Cannith family is not a monolithic entity. It is famously divided into three distinct houses: Cannith East, Cannith West, and Cannith South. This division, a consequence of the Last War, has led to a complex and often competitive relationship between the branches. Each house maintains its own workshops and markets, specializing in slightly different aspects of the clan's traditional crafts, though their core competencies remain similar.

Their legacy is most visibly demonstrated through their role in the creation of the warforged, sentient constructs that played a pivotal role in the Last War. While the war has ended, the Cannith houses continue to be involved in warforged rights and reparations. Their enclaves are often centers of innovation and trade, attracting artisans, scholars, and those seeking powerful magical devices. Despite their considerable influence, the Cannith houses are also known for their internal rivalries and the constant pursuit of new knowledge and crafting techniques.
