A Medani Poll

Hi Everyone! I'm working on the House Medani article, and one of my first thoughts is that in my Eberron, Medani doesn't place the same weight on families that many of the other houses do. If you're in Tharashk, wherever you might be stationed, the fact that you're an 'Aashta or a Velderan makes a big difference in your overall outlook. The families are subcultures within the overall house. But in my take on this, Medani doesn't have that same sharp division. When the Mark of Detection appeared on the Khoravar of Wroat, it was spread throughout the community. Because of this, Medani has always acted as one united family, instead of being an alliance of distinct clans. On the other hand, today Medani is spread across the Five Nations, and doing what they do is quite different depending whether you're in Wroat, Korth, or Trolanport; that's where you have unique cultures and traditions that have evolved over time. So in the "Family" section of the Medani article, I'm going to write about those major enclaves. Note that this isn't a political division within the house, like Cannith West and South; it's just that Medani born in Korth were raised in a harsher, more martial environment than their cousins in Wroat, and that can affect outlook and customs.
The catch is that there's SIX significant Medani enclaves, and I'm probably only going to go into detail on FOUR of them. One of these will be Wroat, because that's the birthplace of the house and the Baron's seat. But of the remaining five, which are you all most interested in?
