Instructions for Interactions with Specific Houses Major

[ Ginaz | Harkonnen | Alvstad | Bajazet | Rastanyev ]

Ginaz
It used to be that members of House Moritani would never be seen with those of House Ginaz save when circumstance dictates (i.e. CHOAM, Court, Landsraad, official functions or events). This is due to the Kanly which has existed between the two Houses for some 6,000 years. However, recently, that Kanly has ended, and the Countess has seen fit to create a peaceful relationship between the two Houses. Rumors also circulate of an alliance, between the Moritani, Ginaz, and Atreides. But this may be pure conjecture on the part of the rumor-mongers -- no public announcements nor evidence has been found to support such a theory.

Since the Kanly has so recently ended, minor outbreaks of hostility towards the Ginaz might still be found. The Moritani people can be rather set in their ways at times.

House Harkonnen
House Harkonnen stands as the Moritani's greatest ally and supporter. The two houses have cooperated for well over 500 years. This relationship between them had been in its highest points ever, as the late Count Galeazzo was the childhood friend of Baron Boris Harkonnen, and the good Baron was the godfather of the former Count Cesare. The current Siridar does indeed recall the Baron Harkonnen from her childhood, as he also recalls her. Amicable relations, however, go through periods of hot and cold due to actions by the Countess and her political maneuverings.

House Alvstad
House Moritani also enjoys a very amicable relationship with House Alvstad, due to the willingness of said house to give aide in the Kanly with House Ginaz.

House Bajazet
A new alliance is currently being bantered about with this House, despite the existing alliance with the Harkonnen. Though kanly has never officially been declared between the Harkonnens and the Bajazets, there is enough bad blood between the two houses to certainly make such a declaration no surprise.

House Rastanyev
House Rastanyev, known for their neutrality, makes for a good House to keep a close eye on. Frequently, in the past, they have held out until the end and then cast their lot to the winning side, thus keeping them in advantageous positions. Their current Siridar-Earl, however, seems to have similar ideals to those of House Moritani, and also tends to be pro-Imperial. They have offered their aide to House Moritani, should such assistance be needed, and could prove to be very worthwhile allies. Treat them with the utmost respect.
