The Great Houses

There's a mechanic.

House of Benevolent Oversight

Zhu Cai-Wen thinks the Hon'eth family is one of the families that joined together to form the House of Benevolent Oversight.

Would restoring the name require replacing the House of Benevolent Oversight? How about if Magpie were being replaced, would that require regime change?

Hubris of Kings would cause significant political trouble for the current head of the House, and possibly lead to the downfall of either him or the entire House.

House of Enticing Vintage

Liet's house. Originally hostile to Resplendent Decoration, but allied as of Zen Sinker Tour. We found in Zen Sinker Tour that Prince Ti Jun had been assisting Enticing Vintage (specifically Lord Miyato, in the Port of Auspicious Voyage) with unspecified inter-House politics. Miyato considered the cursed silk to be a countermove retaliating for whatever it was the Prince had assisted them with. Ezokin was behind the cursed silk, and he was in disguise under the name Kinoze in both Enticing Vintage and Resplendent Decoration (strange to use the same name for what were effectively two separate identities as a cloth merchant and a wine merchant).

House of Resplendent Decoration

Myo's House. As of Alike in Dignity hostile to the House of Enticing Vintage (Liet's House), but by Zen Sinker Tour they were allied. In Zen Sinker Tour, Ezokin was in disguise as an elderly cloth merchant in the House of Resplendent Decoration, and was selling cursed silk. The curse seemed to affect ships of both Resplendent Decoration and those of Enticing Vintage.
