Well, most of the other Houses care about lineage. I suspect the Jhereg, like the Teckla, don't give a rat's ass about who your great-great-grandfather was. Unlike with the Teckla, I suspect that the Jhereg Emperorship is for sale to the highest bidder (or it goes to the highest-ranking member of the Jhereg Council, whoever that may happen to be at the time). Alternatively, maybe it goes to whoever "persuades" (by whatever means) the Vallista Emperor to step down.
