Orchis House

House motto: Joy In Laughter

House canon: bestowing joy in the act of worshipping Naamah; gaiety, laughter, a sense of sunlight, pleasure, merriment, lighthearted

Beliefs: Naamah lay with the Persian king for a lark

Adepts: Calantia, a girl Phedre's age, was to become an adept there
Mierette no Orchis, a former adept with her own salon, attends Alcuin's debut and later receives him as a birthday gift

Notable moments: Orchis House had a stunning aquatic theme with mermaids and fantastic sea-beasts at Phedre's first Midwinter Masque; group of noblemen took Severio Stregazza here for lovemaking and merriment; Dowayne coaxed a Tsingano fiddler into playing a lively tune at Phedre's fete for Hyacinthe

Cecilie bestows Alcuin on Mierette, adorned in scarlet ribbons and nothing else... Mierette's laughter, I am told, rang from the rafters.
