House Character:
The members of House Ispartha are, warm and open with their words and emotions though their particular form of etiquette tends to throw off members of other Landsraad Houses. Throughout its tenure as a House Major, House Ispartha has established itself as a house of mystery and luxorious decadence (such as music and deserts, not the Harkonnen form of decadence). The House aims to present an original culture to the game, drawing upon Romany/Gypsy culture for motivation.

History:
House Ispartha was officially recognized by Emperor Wallach I and granted House Major status in 392 A.G. No one is quite sure what prompted the status change from House Minor of Corrino to House Major. There are of course rumors about the help of the Isparthians in removing Saudir III from power due to their being and Isparthian in Saudir III's harem and one of Saudir III's favorites. The Lady Maria Ispartha was the twin sister of the Isparthian Siridara Lady Giani Ladora Ispartha and was given titles and was given one of Ispartha's agricultural planetoids to run after Saudir III's death. There are also rumors that the Lady Giani Ispartha was a favorite of Wallach I himself as the award of House Major status came only five months after he attended one of their famous bruhahas. Neither the Corrinos or the Isparthians seem to remember the exact details of what happened.

Over the next several millenia, House Ispartha stayed pretty much to themselves and other then random trade, stayed isolated on their home world of Krisatora. They are known for fabulous fabrics from their farming techniques, their sinfully decadent deserts, their love of music and entertaining, and their devotion to family.

Major Exports:
Krisatora has traditionally exported luxorious textiles such as silk, linen, and satin. They also export rich deserts, musicians and exotic dancers. Many Isparthian Houses Minors make their money through farming, catering, or entertainment.
