Drazhada

The Drazhada are the ruling house of the Ethuveraz. The current house head is Emperor Edrehasivar VII Drazhar.

Details
“The Elflands have been ruled by the family Drazh for more than two thousand years, although it must be confessed that the continuity of this dynasty is in some ways a politic fiction due to strategic adoptions by the emperors of their chosen heirs.”

The emperor (and by extension the Drazhada) own the five great rivers of the Ethuveraz, and a number of estates scattered throughout the Ethuveraz, including Bakhoree, Cethoree, Edonomee, and Isvaroë.

The family have a crest, possibly of wrestling cats. The Drazhadeise cats decorate much of their furniture. There is a house seal which is used by default when a member lacks a seal of their own. The Drazhadeise cats are also common among signet iconography for the family. Varenechibel IV's signet was of a cat with its paw resting upon the Ethuverazhid Mura. Edrehasivar VI's signet was “a cat seated with its tail curled about its paws, looking solemnly outward.” Maia took Chenelo Drazharan's unused signet for his own: “a delicate picture of a creature half cat and half twining serpent”.

Gray eyes are a typical Drazhadeise feature. Stubbornness is also a Drazhadeise trait.

Drazhada tend to be entombed in the Othasmeire of the Untheileneise Court, the Untheileneise'meire.

“The Drazhada have intermarried with most of the noble houses of the Ethuveraz.” This was one of the reasons Varenechibel IV was encouraged to marry Chenelo, as she was from a completely different country.
