House Tô-Genji

House Tô-Genji was one of the Noble Houses of the Virasana Empire. They merged with House Medina at the end of the Dakka War, forming the present-day House Kyothari. Its homeplanet was Shang Zhou, though they moved to Qufu as official seat of their house eventually.
==History==
Having grown out of a group of religious extremists who (outwardly) eschewed worldly riches, House Tô-Genji was best known for its rigid social rules, their high intellectual training and their artful, less-is-more style. 
Lesser known but just as important to understanding them were their focus on long-term scheming, their deep belief in slavery, misogynism and their own unquestionable superiority. 
"We all serve the House." was a common way of ending a conversation among them, and it has remained in use on many Kyothari worlds, even though sometimes in mocking. Somtimes, this line is answered by "And the House serves the Emperor.", but this is even trickier to use without turning it into an insult.
