One advantage of the cycle is that every house gets its chance.    But 
there are not bastard houses - what happens to cross-breeds?

History shows that someone can become genetically part of a house.    Do 
cross-breeds get this chance?   Or do their parents decide what is the 
genetic makeup of their children?
