Gentian House

House motto: Truth And Vision

House canon: mystics, dreamers, all adepts trained to aid patrons in giving voice to night's visions

Beliefs: Naamah was filled with a mystic purity of spirit

Marque: mark of the House: gentian flower circumscribed by a full moon; marque of Gentian ... complete even to its moon-and-flower finial

Assignation: bath with attendant apprentice and two House musicians, two apprentices dance for their pleasure, massage by young female adept while male lyrist plays, opium, sex while girl watches, sleep, woken by dream

Adepts: Louvel, the priest who taught Phedre, earned his marque here - he also trained Nehailah, the priestess Imri met in Alba

The Dowayne (in KC) is tall man with greying hair and leaf-green eyes

Raphael Murain no Gentian, Phedre's adept, ash-brown hair to his waist and grey eyes, reminds her of Alcuin, becomes a Priest of Naamah by KJ

Notable moments: Gentian House was masked as seers with opium censors at Phedre's first Midwinter Masque
Other information: adepts take an oath to keep secret what they see in the dreams

Mystics and visionaries number among her adepts, and many of of them join the priesthood of Elua after their marques are made.
