Sureau Coalition

The Sureau Coalition is Luthadel's longest standing political faction and one of its most influential. Where other political factions are meetings of equals or at least colleagues, Sureau stands dominant even over the other Great Houses on its roster, tolerating neither dissent nor discontent.

Major Members

 * House Sureau - The leader and founder of the coalition that bears its name, Sureau calls members of its faction "allies", but what it really means is "subordinates". They rule the coalition with an iron fist, though rumor has it that they might be losing their grip.
 * House Hasting - Sureau's oldest and most reliable ally. It is commonly said that Hasting would throw themselves into an Ashmount if Sureau ordered it. This has brought them power and influence throughout their history, but uncertainty about Sureau's stability has called into question whether Hasting might fall with them.
 * House Tekiel - The third and last of the senior members of the Coalition. Tekiel, however, is not nearly as tightly bound to Sureau as Hasting, leaving some to wonder how long they'll remain on board a potentially sinking ship. Tekiel also shares an ancestral home with Sureau; together, the two dominate much of the sociopolitical environment of the city of Klessium and the surrounding Eastern Dominance.

Minor and Potential Members

 * House Fathvell - Sureau protected Fathvell's keep while it was being built, without being asked to, and now expects payment for the unrequested favor - in the form of Fathvell's undying loyalty and support, of course. Fathvell is currently undecided, having aligned themselves with another faction in the past, but some think that Eliza Fathvell's involvement with both Colette Hasting and now Caden Hasting to be a sign that Fathvell is inclined to seek stronger, richer allies.
