Ok, so they focus more on the "good" daedra as their ancestors then the other houses do (in general, that is). But this doesn't mean they shun the Tribunal Temple or have any "real" problem with it. Am I correct? Perhaps public shrines to non-saint/god ancestors would be in the T...

I believe the Dres are heavily focused on Ancestor worship, and the Anticipations as Ancestors.
If this is true, might it be possible for my sub-adoption idea to work?

I meant as anticipations, but I think the Dres would only keep worshiping these "anticipations", as opposed to worshiping the actual daedra, to keep the temple/ordinators off their back. I think they would lean more towards the daedra than towards Alma, Sotha, or Vivec. I also think most D...

There is ZERO evidence to show that Indoril Nerevar established House Indoril. I do not know much about this subject so I can't really be 100% sure, but even if Nerevar did not really found House Indoril, most people think he did, or will assume he did. You could argue that that is illogical, and i...

I don't mean to be rude, but I can't emphasise enough how you need to check everything very thoroughly when making a TR quest.

I have to say with all the thinking going into this, that Map3 and House Indoril look like they will turn out very well. Not that the first two weren't good, or that House Telvanni wasn't enjoyable, but Map3 appears to be where TR will really start to shine.

But they are bound to have underhand tactics as well. I can see that, but I think the underhanded stuff should come at a higher level.

but if you want to define them, I think I would go with Administration and Law. They govern, and that is what they do.

I vote for Dres being joinable by all, but limited in ascent (i.e. no becoming head of the house). Ideas for pilgrimages-esque joining sound good.

That is a good idea. Also, those quests should require doing things that abolitionists, Argonians or Khajiit would find objectionable; and there should be no way to only pretend to do them.
