That trait allows them to skin other humans and wear the skin as a magical disguise. Now the head of House Tleil'laxu just wants to maintain his own powerbase, many leagues from the borderlands. His firstborn son wants to supplant him. But its his second son Cynfaen is highly ambitious. Its Cynfaen who is setting up spy circles throughout the land, lead by skindancer cousins and nephews, but composed of anyone who seems useful. Vellekhyr probably doesn't know about his employer's abilities or affiliations, being content to make a few coins while gathering information that he himself might be able to use.A Bene Geserit equivalent would be cool too. Perhaps one of the Traladaran houses is composed of matriarchal witches. Or they might work better in charge of one of the religions. If the reverend mother is the head of the Church of Karameikos, there could be a whole papacy dynamic, i.e. the Church supports Karameikos' expansionism (to spread the word) but is a rival for control of the realm.Should we burn up another house for the Keep to be part of? In addition to stealing stuff from Dune I'd love to grab things from George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. IMO, that series should be the goto for any BW campaign.</blockquote>
