Royal House of Rum
The House of Rum is a royal territory region of the empire, integrated form the historic surrender of Turro'ki almost immediately at her father's death as a ruler. Since then it was passed onto various kings and queens of heirs, all running the main house of the Amber Isle region for the empire, and committed to casting and deciding a lot of trade ideals. They are close allies and neighbors with the head estate of House Fang, which itself was actually making use off a more brazenly assaulted and crumbled royal line, now relegated as more of a generic noble estate of agriculture. In mid-early era of the empire, the House of Rum's total influence expanded into the Kayotian Bloodmarshes, marking some mild mainland roots.
As the title suggests, they became known and enriched by way of a specific resource, in trading a guarded recipe of unique Rekettan amber rum. Around this, and other various conditions, their culture has some different norms and customs different from ones such as those on the mainland desert regions. For one thing, they're among the only houses other than Tulip that uses a form of Serfdom for various years. Special regents or wealthy officials with some say over land, would pay and house serfs that worked for more shelter than payment. Their human slave count was lower, seen as less necessary, and not as easy to transport or flow into the island from House Hunt's discretion.
Their insignia has been that of a bronze chalice, with a crossing glaive and sugar cane stalk. Their founding queen is officially regarded as Turro'ki, though in truth she never had any duty or task of rule outside of surrendering to the empire in return to keep her life. Due to various lasting conspiracies and shady rumors, the Turro'ki legacy sometimes puts House Rum under scrutiny as the potential basis.
Culture
The culture of House Rum is primarily a mix of affections for the land of Amber Isle, rum distillery, and an attitude of peace. Despite this, a fragmented history based around their queen and rumors, has also fostered some internal resentment, and sometimes a daring decree of sovereignty from the core empire. Likewise, more civil issues have occasionally cropped up around different ideas and conflicting visions around certain periods of serfdom, or occasional odd discrimination of "outsiders", fleeing sailors, and other odd assorted happenings. In general, the rough easy summary is that their culture is that of the tropical culture, even more so than their sharing kin neighbors of Fang who more often show a more universal approach with higher regard for wide trade and imperial connections.
