The House of Understanding is a place in the fictional world of David Farland's Runelords saga.
The House is a place of learning, much like a university, where students seek to increase their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
The House of Understanding is located in the realm of Mystarria, one of the Kingdoms of Rofehavan from the Runelords saga.
These hearthmasters excel in the disciplines which they teach, and are much like the lecturers and professors of modern universities.
The Rooms of the House of Understanding include: "The subtleties of bodily communication - the way secrets revealed themselves in an enemy's eyes, how to differentiate traces of worry from consternation or fatigue in the lines around a lovers mouth."
