Editing New Jhelom (section)

===Humanity===
A widespread race, due to the wide-spread influence of New Jhelom

; The Elemental Blood Lines : There's been a lot of talk of these Elemental Bloodlines. But here's the lowdown as best as I can get on the Noble Houses.
: The Elemental Bloodlines are not just of mortals descended from Elemental Folk like the Djinn, Iffrite, Angels, and true Elementals, no, some of these high beings are amongst the houses, though hidden, bound, or secretive of their true natures. It is known the Vizier is truly human though.

* House of Sky - No need to explain here. With House of Sky in dominance due to the Vizier, this is by far the biggest House. 
* House of Wind - Nearly Extinct. Entirely controlled by the House of Sky.
* House of Fire - Low Strength, grudgingly loyal to House of Sky
* House of Stone - Middling Strength, keep to themselves, loyal to House of Sky.
* House of Sand - In forced imprisonment somewhere, a form of "house arrest".
* House of Lightning - Low Strength - Underwent exodus to the Western Continent to avoid the wrath of the House of Sky. But at least one family is still in the Empire, causing trouble for the Vizier. 
* House of Water - Almost entire obliterated by the House of Sky. It's tributaries of Rain and Ocean collapsed back into the main House. But the Princess of Waters in the Republic of Gold seeks to rebuild the house and re-create Rain and Ocean.
* House of Glass - Middling Strength, loyal to the House of Sky, held on a tight leash.
* House of Wood - Status unknown. Fled New Jhelom a while ago. Said to have been headed for the Southern Continent.
* House of Metal - The bulk of this House went down into the Well and fled. The Vizier is said to keep a few of them in his dungeon as prisoners and is trying to get information from them.
* House of Flowers - Low Strength. Submissive to the House of Sky. The Vizier's Mistress if of the House of Flowers.
* House of Stars - Entirely Unknown. Even suggesting that such a house exists leads to investigation and imprisonment by the Vizier's men.

* They say that the descendents of the Elemental of Glass are kept locked in the Palace Dungeon. They say the last Elemental of Wind is in a glass orb owned by the Vizier. They say the descendents of the Elementals of Fire can light their hands aflame with strange Martial Arts. They say the Princess of Waters has four Wives - a Wife of River, a Wife of Lake, a Wife of Pond and a Wife of Tides. They say that the structures out in the desert are the tombs of the Descendents of the Elementals of Sand - and that they still move down there. They say the Descendents of the Elementals of Wood all left long ago. They say the Descendents of the Elementals of Metal went underground. Who can tell what is the truth?
* Searching for the Descendents of the Elementals of Lightning will only lead to trouble. Even mentioned the Descendents of the Elementals of the Stars, especially their supposed gift for oracle, will likely lead you to the dungeons.
* Hmm. Strange rumours. But the Descendents of the Elementals of Stone are still alright I think - I mean, I thought they were those strange figures in those hoods that come to market from the Spire Islands? Right?
* Blue Feathers are, by law, something only members of the royal House of Sky are permitted to wear with their garb. Their servants may wear a single blue feather, but only those of the House of Sky are permitted to drape themselves in them. Others may use them on other forms of decoration, to declare loyalty or just because it looks nice.

; The Nostos :

; The Arkhans :

* I have seen the Arkhans in the marketplace! They are indeed tall, and ask after their Wind God. Surely they do not refer to the Vizier's Eye of Wind?
