House Deleon: Masters of Intelligence & Espionage

"A blade in the dark is worth an army in the light."

House Deleon is Laconia’s unseen force, specializing in Intelligence, Espionage, and Psychological Warfare. While Keystone ensures war is planned and Calvaros executes it on the battlefield, Deleon ensures victory before the first strike is made. Their operatives infiltrate, manipulate, and control information, shaping conflicts before armies even mobilize.

Deleon agents operate in secrecy, deception, and subterfuge, ensuring Laconia’s enemies are destabilized, misled, or eliminated before they ever pose a threat.
