| House Varota | |
|---|---|
House Varota is a House Major, and one of the 25 voting Houses within the Landsraad.
It is part of the Cartel of Gaiety, a bloc of the Landsraad focused on Exploration.
As a result, corresponding Landsraad Missions may be completed on the House's behalf. Doing so increases a player's personal standing with the House, unlocking tiered rewards independent of the weekly Landsraad vote outcome.

Envoy Dialogue
HELDABOR DESEO: Yes, yes, it is I, Heldabor Deseo, in the flesh. Let the rejoicing commence.
Player:
1. Tell me more about House Varota.
2. What can we do to gain the vote of your House in the Landsraad?
3. Tell me about yourself.
4. I'm here for my reward.
HELDABOR DESEO:
[1] Listen now, to the words of Heldabor Deseo. We are the musician-kings and queens! Our voices cause even the mute vacuums of space to quake. From our beauteous homeworld of Chusuk, we cultivate an oasis for the arts, culture, and learning. Our history is relatively short, yet grand. Our founder, Francesco Varota raised us from humble instrument makers to a Minor House under Padishah Emperor Almerach III. We arrested the Siridar-Earldom of Chusuk from House Mandervotd in the ninth millennium. We seize the day. We charm destiny itself!
[2] What is it you offer the great House of Varota?
[3] You may tell your chums that you have met a god, for you have been in the presence of Heldabor Deseo.
[4] House Varota never fails to pay the piper!

HELDABOR DESEO:
1a From our beauteous homeworld of Chusuk, we cultivate an oasis for the arts, culture, and learning. Our history is relatively short, yet grand.
2a I suppose a proper offering of Spice Melange could suffice.
2b How funny, as my deranged memory says you were the one asking me for a task.
3a Heresy! Is it possible, however astoundingly improbable, that you have not heard the name of the legendary Heldabor Deseo?
Player:
1a (continues to next line)
1b Goodbye
2aa I don't have 300 spice right now.
2ab Goodbye.
3a (continues to next line)
3b Goodbye.
HELDABOR DESEO:
1a Our founder, Francesco Varota raised us from humble instrument makers to a Minor House under Padishah Emperor Almerach III.
2aa Then why are you still in my presence?
3a Acclaimed leggero tenor? Beloved raconteur?
Player:
1a (continues to next line)
1b Goodbye
3a (continues to next line)
3b Goodbye.
HELDABOR DESEO:
1a We arrested the Siridar-Earldom of Chusuk from House Mandervotd in the ninth millennium. We seize the day. We charm destiny itself!
3a A name both whispered in hushed reverence and shouted in exalted joy as the crowd begs for another encore!
Player:
1a That sounds inspiring.
1b HONORABLE - Your contribution to the arts is notable, but there is more to ruling.
1c Goodbye.
3a (continues to next line)
3b Goodbye.
HELDABOR DESEO:
1a Your conclusion is as accurate as it is understated. You simply must experience our history in long-form poetry. Prose does not suffice!
1b Mistake us not for erudite peacocks. We enjoy a history of glorious military and economic accomplishment. We simply have the skill to sing it.
3a Come now, I am the Poet Laureate of the Known Universe!
Player:
3a I thought you were an agent of the Landsraad envoys of House Varota.
3b I have never heard of you.
3c Goodbye.
HELDABOR DESEO:
3a A person can be more than one thing. I myself am a multitude!
3b The mind reels! But rather than tarnish this moment with my ego's righteous wrath, let us instead celebrate an end to your ignorance.
