To which House would your muse belong, and which would they most like to visit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushiel%27s_Legacy

Alyssum: whose canon is modesty. The sister house is Dahlia, and the closest cousin is Valerian.
Balm: whose canon is compassion. Many adepts here are healers.
Bryony: whose canon is money. It is considered unwise to bet against a Bryony adept, and they learn the management of money as well as its aphrodisiac power.
Camellia: whose canon is perfection.
Cereus: whose canon is fleeting beauty. These adepts teach that beauty is greatest right before it fades.
Dahlia: whose canon is dignity. The sister house is Alyssum, and the closest cousin is Mandrake.
Eglantine: whose canon is creativity. All manner of artisans are found here.
Gentian: whose canon is mysticism. Adepts who earn their marque here often go into the priesthood afterward.
Heliotrope: whose canon is devotion. These adepts offer complete adoration.
Jasmine: whose canon is exoticism and sensuality. Foreign blood is most visible in these adepts, and those who visit there must have stamina.
Mandrake: whose canon is domination. Those who visit here must provide a signale, or safeword; this is one of two houses which specialises in the arts of pain. The sister house is Valerian, and the closest cousin is Dahlia.
Orchis: whose canon is joy.
Valerian: whose canon is submission. Those who visit here must respect the signale, or safeword; this is one of two houses which specialises in the arts of pain. The sister house is Mandrake, and the closest cousin is Alyssum.
