House Do

Leader- Rae Do

Great house- House Dinn

Cadet Houses- House Do-Dis, House Do-Biz and House Do-Fish

Province- Emburn

Economy- House Do is the jack-of-all-trades among the noble houses of Emburn. They operate a sprawling network of ventures, often through their cadet branches (Do-Fish, Do-Biz, and Do-Dis), allowing them to dip their fingers into nearly every pot in the region:

Do-Biz handles finance, trade negotiations, and soft corruption — operating with Dinn’s blessing and a knack for creative accounting.

Do-Fish manages the province’s sea-based food supply, specializing in Quipper herding and strange river fauna.

Do-Dis serves as their muscle, a disciplined house of enforcers and “problem-solvers” — more militia than noble.

House Do takes a cut of most transactions, whether legal or not, thanks to their bureaucratic control and deep connections with House Dinn. Though oddly enough, many of their skilled Serfs that they rely on for skilled work have begun to disappear recently. Rumors of The Serf-Pipeline playing a role in this have been suggested but rejected as such a thing would be unthinkable

Military- House Do maintains a modest but flexible fighting force through their cadet branches. Do-Dis in particular is known for its discipline and brutality, often used to quell uprisings, intimidate dissenters, or “escort” officials from rival houses into meetings they didn’t intend to attend.

They are also rumored to hire from the criminal underworld, including freelancers from The Nyakuza or the Kremlins when plausible deniability is required.

Culture-

Pragmatic to the core, House Do views honor as a tool, not a burden. They pride themselves on getting results, even if the path there is less than clean. To them, failure is the only true disgrace. While many nobles find them tacky or thuggish, they are tolerated because they work and working makes coin.

Their halls are filled with ledgers, maps, and manifests, not artwork or ancestry tapestries. Serfs and Commoners under their rule live under tight control, but their talents are occasionally rewarded if it benefits the house. Particularly in fields like logistics, security, or backroom negotiations.

History- Once a forgettable merchant house, House Do rose rapidly by capitalizing on Emburn’s growing criminal and mercantile chaos. They found themselves in the right place at the wrong time — then made the wrong time work for them.

By swearing allegiance to House Dinn, House Do secured the political cover they needed to cement control. When the province became increasingly corrupt and dangerous, House Do offered “order,” and most were too exhausted to refuse.

Today, they operate like the spine of Emburn’s bureaucracy — crooked, but essential. They are feared, needed, and increasingly bold, using their position to dominate trade, intimidate rivals, and quietly back operations like those of the Em-Purr-Ess, so long as the claws don’t scratch their books.

Their newest leader, Rae Do came to power after her uncle, a human man named Inuen, was removed from power due to an incident involving a lizardfolk maid and a loaf of bread came to the publics eye.
