In the intricate hierarchy of Tevinter society, the Low Houses carve out a precarious existence, overshadowed by their more esteemed counterparts. These families, once aligned with the grandeur of High Houses, now navigate the tumultuous aftermath of disgrace, treachery, and the ever-shifting currents of power within the Imperium.

House Pavus: The Fallen Flame
First played Pavus character is Enzo, by Meira. Please speak to them prior to creating a Pavus. 

Once a prominent and respected House known for its mastery of fire magic, House Pavus now stands among the Low Houses, tarnished by allegations of treason. The disgraceful act resulted in the stripping of their right to argue matters on the Senate floor. Despite retaining their Altus title and wealth, House Pavus finds itself navigating the treacherous waters of redemption, seeking to restore its once-illustrious name while bearing the weight of their tainted legacy.

House Verax: Ambitious Aspirations
House Verax, a relatively young and ambitious Low House, emerges from the shadows with aspirations to ascend within Tevinter's hierarchical labyrinth. Despite facing the disdain of their more established peers, House Verax strategically aligns itself with factions seeking change, hoping to exploit the shifting dynamics of post-barrier fall Tevinter. Through cunning political maneuvering, they strive to rise above their Low House status and carve a niche in the cutthroat world of mobocratic politics.

House Umbra: Shadows of Arcane Mastery
First played Umbra character is Tiberius, by Neology. Please speak to her prior to creating an Umbra.

House Umbra, though lacking the grandeur of its High House counterparts, boasts a lineage steeped in arcane mastery. Specializing in shadow and stealth magic, this Low House has managed to carve a niche for itself as skilled infiltrators and covert operatives. House Umbra's members, adept at navigating the shadows, find themselves entwined in the clandestine affairs of Tevinter, often operating in the periphery of the magocratic power plays.

House Serpentis: Whispers of Deception
House Serpentis, marked by a legacy of cunning and guile, thrives amidst the Low Houses, capitalizing on their reputation for subtlety and intrigue. Though lacking the overt influence of the High Houses, House Serpentis has become adept at gathering information and leveraging secrets to influence the political landscape. Skilled in espionage and manipulation, they navigate the intricate webs of Tevinter, weaving a tapestry of whispers that echoes through the corridors of power.
