* Controls the Servos, Byrose, Iontos, and Tylon rivers.

* Control of the Tylon is disputed with House T’kambras.

* Personal identifier is a ruby and gold earring worn in the left ear.

* Allied with the Therans in the past, still has close ties with them.

* Founded around the start of the Orichalcum Wars about 1300 years ago.

* Woke from their Scourge-induced hibernation late – not until the Therans returned to Barsaive.

* Found that one entire foundation and its riverboats disappeared during the Scourge.

* Invited members of House Carinci that were didn’t want to return to Thera after first Theran War.

* When allied with the Therans, took t’skrang from the jungle as slaves (mainly to sell to Thera).

* Alliance with Thera and the aftermaths of the wars have left K’tenshin in poor situation.

* Not overt villains, but a convenient target to look down on and in a rough spot in Serpent River culture.

* The Shivalahala K’tenshin – Warden-tier Warrior. Headmistress of the War College.

* K’tenshin Council – 24 members from the aropagoi’s 12 nialls. One member is the Advocate, who can veto the shivalahala.

* House K’tenshin’s goals.

* Josh theorizes potential updates for the current timeline.
