There are Nine Houses for nine planets. The only ones you need to know are One and Nine; the First belongs to the Emperor, Necrolord Crunchwrap Supreme, and the Ninth, which is where I'm from. Despite how shockingly attractive I am, the Ninth House sucks dreary butt and is considered the dusty, tottering old tomb by the other planets. Of course the Ninth has developed its own interpretation of religion, which begins at Death and ends at More Death. My mother Died Mysteriously (tm) and I was adopted into the House as an indentured servant, and would likely have become a tomb maiden (what a waste of my hotness) had I not became Cavalier to the Reverend Daughter instead.
