House Kyothari

House Kyothari is one of the Noble Houses of the Virasana Empire (realm). Its homeplanet is Isfahan. 
==History==
"We all serve the House. And the House serves the Emperor."Created in the merger of House Tô-Genji and House Medina after the Dakka War. The new name is a merger of Tô-Genji and Medina expressions, basically translating to 'wealthy kings' or 'royal wealth' - pretty much the only thing connecting the two houses at that time, as some critics say. 
Highly educated and flawlessly mannered, the Kyothari are the least obviously aggressive of the noble houses, and culturally surprisingly diverse. Ranging from the colourful merchant princes of Isfahan to the austere and pious sages of Qufu, they are united in the preference of sly wit over blunt violence and a penchant for long-term and intricate scheming. Slave trade, misogynism and religion are a common denominator on all of their worlds.
==Coat of Arms==
white, one golden coin
==Dress and Demeanor==
The dress code of House Kyothari falls along two lines: Either you show off what you have, or you try to hide it. So either you wear gold and jewels on silk (or naked skin in case you want to show off your perfectly designed body), or you dress in ‘humble’ robes of muted colours.
== Notes ==
* Two famous military elite units (or three, depending), all of them also fulfilling duties of an intelligence service 
** the Red Tsubaki and the Black Tsubaki (formerly of House Tô-Genji)
** the Jawahir Alttaj - the Crown Jewels (formerly of the Medina) 
* House Kyothari does not merge the title of Prince of the House with the Duke of their main planet, in this case Isfahan. 
* Fond of unbreakable traditions as they are, the sons of any high-ranking noble are always raised and trained in the same manner. The firstborn as the designated heir, is trained in politics and law, the second son takes over the military, while the third one is trained in culture, history and the arts. Personal preferences or aptitudes, of course, are irrelevant.
