Vaxa Ral: Difference between revisions

During the Dominion invasion, Vaxa's parents and two younger sisters were killed.  While Vaxa should have officially become the matriarch of the Ninth house, the other houses took control of the house given that Vaxa was in exile, and that the Ninth House was in a "much weakened position" after the war.

Soon after, representatives of six other houses (Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth and Twelfth) asked Vaxa to abdicate her title. When she refused, they threatened to take her plot of land away from her.  Eventually after multiple protracted legal battles, Vaxa and the Houses settled on letting Vaxa retain her land and her title of Matriarch, provided she changed her and Keehani's family name and relinquish administrative control of the Ninth House.  Vaxa chose the name "Ral", the family name of her deceased de facto partner Itum.
