Ignoramus brings up a good point of discussion.

Houses were never part of the rule set and their entities are not set in stone. The idea, just pending some OOC approval, is for Tagmata to remain independent as a House, but join our feudal chain.

Nobody ever said that one house = one feudal chain, that is just how things played out at the beginning. given that we have lost a few members, and that a few are taking some time in between characters, I thought it was a good time to challenge that initial set-up a bit. We'll see if it can work...
