The Min-drear of High Keep are a minor house. They reside close to the Barrier and help maintain it. Min-drear randon cadets at Tentir traditionally train with the Knorth. The Min-drear are likely a cadet branch of the Knorth. They are mentioned primarily in the stories so far in To Ride a Rathorn, largely because Rue, one of Jame's ten-command, is a Min-drear. They are the subject of the short story "Stranger Blood" in Blood and Ivory: A Tapestry.
