Venture-Deveaux

The Venture-Deveaux faction, also known as Venture-Deveaux-Casuana or, less often, the Triad Alliance, is a newly formed but formiddable faction in the Luthadel scene. Many Great Houses, including House Sureau and House Elariel, have tried and failed to intervene before the ties between these three houses could well and truly solidify.

Major Members

 * House Deveaux - The founder of this faction and former member of the Big Three. While they are (currently) the clear leader, members of this faction are treated more as colleages and co-collaborators than direct subordinates, as they would be in the Sureau Coalition.
 * House Casuana - The second founding member by virtue of Mia Casuana's (nee Deveaux) marriage to Julian Casuana, the late Lord Casuana. Despite being a Great House in their own right and a legitimate financial threat to House Hasting, much of Luthadel considers them to be merely a puppet of Deveaux, primarily because of Mia currently holding the house title. It is likely for this reason that Casuana is often skipped over when referring to this faction.
 * House Venture - The most recent member of the alliance, Venture's place is cemented by the upcoming engagement and marriage of Camille Deveaux to Nevan Venture. It is wondered whether Deveaux will remain at the helm of this faction, or if Venture will, by virtue of sheer power and charismatic force, take the lead from their soon to be closest ally.
