Uskevren

The Uskevren (meaning "too bold to hide" in some forgotten tongue) are a noble family of Selgaunt who live primarily in Stormweather Towers. Their house badge is a gold horse-head-and-fouled-anchor. Their money originally stockpiled through piracy, the family was nearly destroyed in the 1330s DR by rival families who discovered their illicit means of money-making.

The only surviving family member, Thamalon Uskevren, rebuilt the family fortune by buying and selling land, and then began sponsoring common folk. The people of Selgaunt began to trust the Uskevren name again

Properties
In addition to Stormweather Towers, the Uskevrens have a tallhouse near the Way of the Manticore and another on Lurvin Street. They also own a smaller home outside of the city, named Storl Oak.

Magical Items
Throughout the years, when there is doubt if someone is truly an Uskevren, the family uses a magical cup called the Quaff of the Uskevren. Enchanted long ago by Helemgaularn of the Seven Lightnings to keep revelers from stealing his mead, its enchantments were later altered so that only one of the blood of the Uskevren could touch it bare-handed and not be instantly burned.
