The Cadet Houses of the Scarlet Dynasty are Dynastic lines found primarily in the Threshold, Dragonblooded families who have been partially adopted into the social system of the Realm, existing simultaneously within the upper social class of the Scarlet Dynasty and as the ruling families of independent states. Cadet Houses have the rights of Dynasts within the Realm, as well as serving as a source of marriage candidates for Great Houses (or even the children of the Scarlet Empress.


As rulers of their states they also are vested with many responsibilities normally in the hands of satraps (indeed, while Great House advisors might be present, Cadet realms are not satrapies, and the Cadet Houses are responsible for overseeing their lands' tribute, from which they fund themselves by taking a cut). Each Cadet House seats a minimum of one representative in the Lesser Chamber of the Deliberative, and is responsible for integrating their governments with the Thousand Scales, as well as accepting the jurisdiction of the Imperial Magistracy and the Scarlet Empress' legitimacy as ruler of all Creation.


Most of the Cadet Houses rule states along the northeastern coast of the Threshold, though there are several further afield as well.
