House Khepra-Zad - Gm Only

Wardens of the Scales

House Khepra-Zad expects violence. It plans for it.

Its fear is not death, but irrelevance.

How Khepra-Zad Defends Itself

• Visible Necessity
  Dragons exist. That is Khepra-Zad’s shield.

• Force Readiness
  When threatened, it escalates faster than anyone else is comfortable with.

• Isolation Doctrine
  Political exclusion is accepted as the cost of operational freedom.

Failure States

1. Normalization of Force
   Khepra-Zad begins to see every problem as a containment scenario.

2. Containment Failure
   A dragon incident undermines confidence in the house’s core purpose.

Using PCs

PCs are operatives, specialists, or expendable assets sent where failure is unacceptable. Khepra-Zad respects competence above loyalty.

If PCs succeed, they are trusted.
If they fail, they are written off.
