The Sixth House

The Sixth House, is a band of outcasts who have been banished from Chilastra, but refuse to leave, and have thus set up a small settlement in the Ashlands.

This House is made up of only Vedalken who have been former slaves or captives, and are now secluded, living in silence. Not much is known about them or their exact location.

Pre-Empire (year 0-282)
Before the time of the Empire, Chilastra was well populated with the native Vedalken people.

Many Vedalken, especially the more piveleged and wealthy, belonged to a Great House that served them with plenty of work, housing and safety. Each House governed large parts of each province they were located in, and in some cases even the whole province.

At this point time, there were six Great Houses. Not much is written about the Sixth House and it's unknown who they were, what their politics entailed, how much influence they had and how they governed their province. The only thing that is known about them is that they were located in the Ashlands, and that they were exterminated by unknown threats. The other Great Houses chose to ignore the Sixth House's call for aid over and over again, until they were no longer heard of. Now they remain only as a rumor and a small bit of history.

Hierarchy & Ranks
Nothing is known about the Sixth House's hierarchy and ranking system, but some believe it is similar to the other Houses. However, due to the Sixth House reportedly being very small, there would be no way for them to have a similar ranking system to the actual Great Houses.
