Daily Life
Members of the South House didcate plenty of time to learning. The South House is concerned with diplomacy, law and communication. In this House communication speed is important, as the ability to respond quickly to a situation can be essential for it to be properly dealt with. As such, members are encouraged to engage in races and work on their speed, as well as keep their minds and memory sharp, and skill in rhetoric is very well valued. Even members who are already well off and have established themselves in high ranks do this. An interest in pride going-ons and politics is common among the South's inhabitants.
Justice, communication, eloquence, assertiveness, confidence, persuasiveness, ambition and excellence are qualities often attributed to the House and its members.
Summer Festival
Enjoying the nice hot weather, all who wish may gather in the South House mid-summer for a festival. This festival is mostly marked by talk of politics, and out of all the festivals it is probably the one most attended by members of allied prides. Usually lasts for about three days.
Diplomacy
Being more or less in charge of diplomatic relations for Tianxia, specialists from the South House will usually be the ones chosen by the Center House when it comes to dealing with outside prides in a friendly manner. Magistrates and ambassadors come from the South House and may be picked up by other Houses to represent them and help keep order.

The ranks below make up what is called the 'career' of a messenger. Which means they all stem from this basic rank!
Reminder: The ranks below require that the SoA be a member of the South House to obtain. However, once the title is reached they can move to any of the other Houses and maintain the title, so long as the position is available! You may apply for a rank and a House change at the same time, working under the assumption the SoA moved soon after being promoted.
Quote: Ambassador high classProbably one of the most powerful ranks in the pride! Ambassadors have the power to represent Tianxia abroad, or even a specific house. They are expected to always have their pride/house's best interests in mind, and are trusted to be sent out and deal with other prides and houses. They have the power to make decisions on their own, without always needing to go to royalty and nobility for approval, though in more important dealings usually that lot will get involved on its own. Occasionally they will be positioned outside for months at a time, staying in other prides to continually represent Tianxia, should dealings be necessary. They are usually expected to report back home every now and then, but not necessarily need to stay for long. Ambassadors who have spent a long time abroad may be allowed to leave Tianxia in 'good graces', as in, they are not exiled or shunned, if they have already established a family and other strong connections. However they are still strongly encouraged to bring whatever new families back to Tianxia. Should an ambassador actually be the representative from another pride, they do have less power, and are usually only allowed to make decisions relative to their home pride's alliance with Tianxia. They are, however, still extremely well-respected. Quantity: Limited* Requirements: South House. Already a Councilor. Rank availability. 5 additional RPs, or 3 speed or intellligence points and 3 RPs. "Skip to" for: Princes and Princesses and special other-pride representatives. * Special Note! The quantity limitation pertains only to SoA from Tianxia. Ambassadors coming from other prides will obtain the title automatically, this is considered a special condition.
Quote: Magistrate high classAfter finishing their studies, Scholars are fully ready to become Magistrates! while these SoA don't really have the power to create or abolish any laws, they do have all the power necessary to enforce it. The only individuals in Tianxia who can overrule the judgement of a Magistrate are the Emperor, Empress, Heir, Lords and Ladies themselves, though it is wise not to abuse one's power. Magistrates are who you seek out to solve problems like crime. They can pass sentences, and have the power to exile members, or condemn them to servitude or other forms of punishment. They are supposed to do this according to the law, as passed on by Royalty and Nobility. Because of their function as 'those who maintain the law', quite a bit more pressure is put on them to abide to it. Quantity: Limited Requirements: South House. Already a Scholar of Law. Rank availability. 5 additional RPs, or 3 intelligence points and 3 RPs. "Skip to" for: Princes and Princesses.
Quote: Scholar of Law mid-high classThis is a rank for those who decided they want to go study. They focus their studies specifically on Law, with a bit of history on the side. SoA in this position don't have much power on their own, but their opinion is often pretty well respected when it relates to Tianxia Law. These scholars usually spend their time doing research or proposing ideas to royalty and nobility, with varying levels of success. Quantity: Limited Requirements: South House. Already a Secretary. Rank availability. 3 RPs as a Councilor, or 3 intelligence points. "Skip to" for: Those with High Class parents in the South House, Dukes and Duchesses of any House.
Quote: Councilor mid-high classMembers of this Rank are rather important. These well-respected are SoA who are considered wise, and whose opinions matter. They will work with Royalty and Nobility, and a few other classes, providing their opinions and guidance on important matters. They don't have enough power to really do much on their own, but councilors often have enough influence to get what they want done. Quantity: Limited (open right now) Requirements: South House. Already a secretary. Rank availability. 2 RPs as a Secretary, or 3 speed points. "Skip to" for: Those with High Class parents in the South House, Dukes and Duchesses of any House.
Quote: Secretary middle classThe next rank up, secretaries still need to do a lot of memorizing. A secretary will typically attach him or herself to an individual of a higher rank, and do some management jobs. They will sit in on meetings and try to memorize everything that was said, so they can be a walking, talking reference. They also help remind their charge about things they need to get done, arrange for messengers to be sent, or for scheduling meetings. Should a secretary not find someone specific to attach themselves to, he or she will probably just be working for nobility and royalty in a general sense, occasionally getting called upon to get things done. Quantity: Unlimited Requirements: South House. Already a messenger. 1 RP as a Messenger, or 2 speed points.
