Spoiler for Sethra Lavode: >I don't believe you are allowed to buy into any >house except Jhereg. Dzur is >the only other house I remember there being a way in >except for birth. The Lavode clan isn't a house, but I'd like to point to Tazendra's entrance into the clan, which seemed to over-ride her heritage as a Dzur (at least in her dress). The Dragaeran's seemed to accept her as a Lavode rather than a Dzur, even though her personality remained charictaristically Dzur. My point is that exceptional Dragaerans seem to be able to change their "House identity" without much thought. I also wonder about reincarnation and house. Vlad/Kieron certainly wasn't reincarnated back into his house (or even his race), but does house normally play some role in how/where a Dragaeran is reincarnated? - ST
