Cross Wicking a new trope. Lots of ZC Es that need expanding, if anyone sees this reason.

Among other applications of this trope, Vlad tells the prosecutors "as far as I'm concerned, he committed suicide." [[spoiler:By treating Vlad like he wanted to die.]]

Added DiffLines:

* HufflepuffHouse: They started out as one. While all sixteen of the other Houses were created by the Jeoine breeding various animal traits into Draegerans, they never bred jhereg genes into anyone. Instead, the Jhereg originated as a collection of outcasts and descendants of fallen Houses who banded together for mutual protection and started calling themselves "The House of the Jhereg" as a way of Lampshading their status as scavengers and outsiders. This is probably why they are still one of the two Houses who will accept half-breeds and Easterners into their ranks.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: She's known for challenging people to duels for various "personal slights"; in one book she does it to help break up a different character's plan, and it's not seen as unusual by the crowd that she took apparent offence at a perceived "insult" to someone ''elses'' honor.

* [[{{Mook}} Mooks]]: Although they're usually thought of as merchant sailors, the House of the Orca is also associated with brutality, so when you need to pay some goons to beat someone up, they're the House you go to. Vlad runs into a ''lot'' of Orca mooks.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy

to:

* ProudWarriorRaceGuyProudWarriorRaceGuy: He's fine starting a war, and leading the armies, just to get a sword back that was stolen from him. (Vlad thinks it could have just been settled with a personal duel, but the challenge had already been issued by the time he has a chance to mention it. Both sides were just fine with the war, anyway.)

* ProudWarriorRace

to:

* ProudWarriorRaceProudWarriorRace: It's generally know that if you're going to fight a war, get a Dragon to head the army; and the more Dragons in the troops, the better. ''Dragon'' (the book) has one tell Vlad that he intends to keep fighting in as may wars as he can, just so he could move up the ranks and become a general some day.



* ProudWarriorRace

to:

* ProudWarriorRaceProudWarriorRace: They live for fighting against seemingly insurmountable odds (and sometimes if it's in support of an unpopular opinion or group, since it's more likely everyone would be against them). And there is a way to join the house: it includes fighting against 17 swordmasters in a row. If you fail, they're not interested.

* DeadlyDecadentCourt: How most Phoenix reigns end up, with the exception of Zerika I (the first empress) and Zerika IV (the first post-Interregnum empress). Zerika IV opines that the key is knowing to abdicate before decadence sets in, while Paarfi writes Tortaalik's reign as hopelessly adrift from the literal start, though it grows worse with time.
