Aramithius and Raelz dig into House Mnemon, that great place of architects and Immaculacy (see, we found the proper word!), which we decide is possibly most Realm-est of Houses. We find that they're mostly good people, but get VERY opinionated about the House founder, who is one of the best sorcerers, most brilliant politicians, and possibly the creepiest grandma you could ever have. For many, many reasons.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the story possibilities that come out of House Ledaal, from investigating things that go bump in the night to what shenanigans you can get up to with Ledaal characters in High School games. We finish with what themes work best with games in Ledaal territories, and give a story outline that will see players face off against the consequences of oracle gone bad (or maybe that was never good) in the cliffs of the Arjulf Dominion.

This episode we look into the loyal guard dogs of the Realm, the air-aspected House Ledaal, in all their bookish, ghostbustery, supernatural consultancy glory. We discuss the House's Shadow Crusade against the Anathema, and how they're likely to be utterly screwed in any Realm civil war unless they can bring themselves to talk nicely to someone else.

We discuss the story themes most appropriate for House Iselsi, from spy games to exploring the various implications of the Iselsi theshold states. We also discus how to run Iselsi as both PCs and NPCs, and finish up with a rough presentation of how to run a game based around Iselsi assassinations.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the house that is not a House, and examine House Iselsi and their vendetta against the other Great Houses that so eagerly picked them apart. We discuss their history  and holdings, and why they could be the last hope for the Realm. Maybe. Or maybe they're just a bunch of trained killers without a leader any more.

For those of you looking for the errata, they begin at 1:37:56.

We discuss how to best make games around House Cynis, from social conspiracies to exploration into the deep East in search of poisons. We also realise quite how different House Cynis and House Sesus espionage games should be, and come up with a story on the fly for you, the epic matchmaking cometragedy of Ro-Myo and Jaio-Liet.

Aramithius and Raelz look into the shadowy soirees and puissant poisons of House Cynis, the Realm's go-to partygoers and slave traders, guardians of the Golden Road to the East. We discuss what the ultimate goals of the House are, uncover some of the most over-the-top NPCs ever written for Exalted, and realise that there is a set of marriages that would be great and terrifying to behold, if the House could ever get itself in order enough to pull them off.

House Cathak has a fantastic moral compass that can lead to some interesting takes on Dragon-Blooded politics. We discuss that, re-tread some ground on how to run a military game, and explore what possible games you can run in House Cathak's holdings, with a focus on Myion as well as exploring what special things can be done in Myion City, the Fifteen Leagues Redoubt, Glass, and Mavinyos.

The episode finishes up with an outline of two House Cathak characters we've made that exemplify some of the themes of the House, a rather direct ex-military diplomat who treats everything like a game Gateway, and a garrison commander from Fajad.

Aramithius and Raelz go over the prototypical Realm military house, House Cathak. Along the way we also discuss their House founder, current matriarch, other famous people, and their prefecture of Myion as well as briefly touching on a few key satrapies outside of that. On the way, we discover that nearly everywhere, there is religious tension that threatens to boil over into violent conflict.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the imperial behemoth of Creation, the Realm, and how it works.
