House Semokku

House Semokku were the rulers of Milgar in the late Mage Imperium.
== History ==
The Semokkus had risen considerably in influence under the judicious rule of Governor Kermit, the younger son of the late Gov. Frodlaw. The Milgravian Civil War left the Semokku family relatively intact, and Raolf Semokku, the bastard son of Prince Statler (Kermit's older brother, widely believed to have been assassinated by Lady Astrid Keith) was Kermit's official heir.
While Kermit later ruled Milgar from a position of strength, his early reign depended heavily on the support of two men, Admiral Faisal Tiello and General Nold Tul'SemokkuPurportedly, the Semokkus were actually backed by a triumvirate of Tiello, Tul'Semokku and a sentient power-armored crocodile named Tam'Gul. Both were leaders of the Semokku Loyalist Faction during the Milgravian Civil War, and Nold saw to it that his nephew Raolf (born of an affair between Nold's sister and their third cousin, Prince Statler) was named as Kermit's heir. Afterward, Tiello remained Admiral of the Milgravian Navy and married his eldest daughter to Raolf, thereby securing the fleet's loyalty for a generation. Nold's children, Aria and Dante, were senior members of Kermit's council.
Shipments of "Bloodsap" filled the Semokku coffers, and the "Milgravian Corridor" became one of the safest trade routes in the Sector. With their capital and hinter-worlds far out on the Imperial Frontier, however, rumors persisted of unorthodox technologies and overly friendly relations with foreign governments. Such rumors were partly dispelled during the Milgar-Enclave War, in which Milgar seized a couple of frontier worlds previously held by the Elvish Enclaves — even this proud display of Imperial patriotism was darkened, however, by stories of monstrous sentient lizards serving as auxiliaries in the Semokku legions.
