Random Stuff I felt like putting up here

From white-wolf forums, by User: Thoth

During a discussion about House Manosque, I got to thinking about the exact bloodline map of the Scarlet Empress.

This is what I have managed to cobble together thus far.

The Empress and Araka Jeresh had no offspring that we know of.

The Empress and Rawar of Arjuf were together from RY: 114 - RY: 370 and produced Manosque in RY:130, Ragara in RY:139 and Mnemon in RY:369.

The Empress and her Mortal Consort Nellens were together from RY: 227 - RY: 261 and produced Sesus in RY: 231 and Ledaalin RY: 235. Later certain offspring formed House Nellens in RY: 422

The Empress and an Unknown Mate produced a younger sister for mnemon, this sister was later tricked by Mnemon into going into the Imperial Manse.

The Empress and the Imperial Cup Bearer mate in a controlled breeding experiment in RY: 706, the result is V'Neef being born in RY: 708

Do we have any information regarding the Origins of House Iselsi, House Cathak or House Peleps?

Do we know what Mnemons younger sisters name was? Further more do we know if it was Rawar of Arjuf or Tepet himself who was the girls father?

Also do we have any information on House Chanos or House Jerah?

So, it seems that Tave is a verb-form (?)* in Lithuanian, as in "Tave myliu" (I love you), "Kad tave velniai nujotu!" (Let devils ride you away!) and even "Kad tave shikanti sutrauktu" (May your muscles constrict while you shit) - I kid you not. So that's a rather unlikely origin.

These strategies are copied from the CombatStrategies page (which gives credit where credit is due), but this page is for my own use - please only change the comments section, leave the rest for me to update. ^_^
