House Amethyst

Motto:  "The proof in the cup"

Symbol: the amethyst

House Amethyst were the keepers of the Order of the Stone's extensive coffers, curators of their wealth and history. They began as wine sellers and traders who rose to insurers and bankers, managing the funds that kept the Order in power. They are believed to have assisted in the flight of the other Houses after House Ruby's massacre. They are also believed to continue to exist to the present day as successive Royal Treasurers and insurers for the wealthy plantocracy, privateers and other investors. Despite the rise of the Zodiac Society, no one has attempted to rise against them or challenge their position in society. They may be the original sponsors of John Opal's move to the Caribbees and financiers, alongside Charles Garnet, of the White Tiger League. They are obligated to aid any member of the Order.
