'''The 13th House of Betazed''' | {{Houses of Betazed}} | ||
'''The 13th House of Betazed''' is one of many ancient houses on [[Betazed]]. To be a member of such a social class in [[Betazoid]] culture is to be considered descendants of the Goddess, [[Karawati]], herself and a part of influential ancestry. The 13th House in particular holds the qualities of Peace and Protection, often to be believed and interpreted as the protectors of Betazed herself. Members of Houses are active in the dynamics and politics of their planet. Most heads of House of the last century have come from the Devar family. | |||
The lavish estate has been upheld for generations and is located in Mestara, a city placed exotically on the continent in the southern-west region. A staff of 125 tentatively keeps the house in running order. Set serenely a top of a small hill, surrounded by lush vegetation and overlooking a shimmering lake, this picturesque home is nothing short but breathtaking. There is a Mediterranean feel to the décor and landscape. | The lavish estate has been upheld for generations and is located in Mestara, a city placed exotically on the continent in the southern-west region.

The 13th House of Betazed is one of many ancient houses on Betazed. To be a member of such a social class in Betazoid culture is to be considered descendants of the Goddess, Karawati, herself and a part of influential ancestry. The 13th House in particular holds the qualities of Peace and Protection, often to be believed and interpreted as the protectors of Betazed herself. Members of Houses are active in the dynamics and politics of their planet. Most heads of House of the last century have come from the Devar family.
The lavish estate has been upheld for generations and is located in Mestara, a city placed exotically on the continent in the southern-west region. A staff of 125 tentatively keeps the house in running order. Set serenely a top of a small hill, surrounded by lush vegetation and overlooking a shimmering lake, this picturesque home is nothing short but breathtaking. There is a Mediterranean feel to the décor and landscape.
Along with old fortune and the Sacred Book and Scepter of Betazed, the head of house carries the noble title of either “Divine Lord of Peace and Protection” or “Divine Lady of Peace and Protection”.
Among the many accomplishments the 13th House has placed in Betazed culture, the Heads of House have marked their place in their world.
