I do wonder though, whether or not they only send those that the Elders or Council of the House find to be inadequate to hold the position of 'Hero,' so they're sent to their deaths purposely. It's also possible that since the mountain is shaped like a Dzur, some in the House believe it to be the rightful property of a pure-blood Dzur, not someone with the features of a Dzur and a Dragon, like Sethra has, so they send the more easily-persuaded aspiring Heros. Some in the House must recognize what Sethra does though, like protecting Dragaera from the Jenione, which would mean that if someone actually happened to kill Sethra, everyone is screwed. You also have to consider that House Phoenix assets and titles would be needed for the continuation of the empire, since only Teckla are peasants, any Phoenix that should arise would need their own estate, to at least adhere to the vision of proper lifestyle. Sethra is all about the continuation of the Empire, which would make her a good choice.
