Founder

A potent Air-Aspected warrior whose lineage could be traced back to important Shogunate Houses, Tepet was over a two centuries old when he was taken as Imperial Consort in RY 362. Within three years, he was elevated to the founder of his own House, with the agreement that any Air-Aspected children the Scarlet Empress gave birth to during their time together would be part of his House, and all others might be put to use as she saw fit. Most of their children did indeed Exalt as Air-Aspects, with one exception: their last child together, Mnemon.

Heads of Household

There are five masters of House Tepet currently, composed wholly of Tepet's five surviving children.

Tepet Marek, Tepet Vergus, & Tepet Tilis Households These three most powerful and respected households were essentially family units of the Tepet legions and lost all but a handful of their members, Exalted and mortal alike. The remaining households have little idea how to deal with their tributaries now that House Tepet has lost its military wing. Not only is the barbaric Vermilion Legion inappropriate for legitimate military missions (in the eyes of the House elders, anyway), it cannot be redeployed from its campaign in the Southwest. Tribute, predictably, has stopped coming in from nearly three quarters of the House’s tributaries. Morale in the House remains so low that no one has addressed the issue yet, although it’s clear that something has to be done. Tepet Nerigus & Tepet Berel Households These households are oriented around mercantile interests. Tepet Deramol Household This small household is far more interested in leisure pursuits such as hunting and parties.


Other Lineages

The Line of Jegan

House Tepet Geneology (Jegan's Lineage)
Tepet-JegansLine.png

The line of the elder Earth Aspect Jegan descends from Tepet's third child, Jita. Jita's marriage to a Threshold-born Dragon-Blooded named Lura resulted in only a single child, Jegan, who Exalted as an Earth Aspect. As a result, his line were often married off into other Houses when the Earth of the line came through in Exaltations.

With the death of all but one of the most recent generation in the Tepet Legions, and that last child being married off into House V'neef, this line seems to be at an end. Nonetheless, this branch's closeness to House V'neef has earned them an ambassadorial position in House Tepet, who hope to parley that alliance into a deeper House-to-House alliance.
