House Tseida is one of the Major Houses of Landsraad. Players can interact with them and complete weekly objectives and earn rewards.
House Lore
House Tseida is a Major House of the Landsraad, but unlike it's peers it is seen as one of the more peculiar ones. The house is governed by the Tseidan royal family, their trade specialty being Imperial Legal expertise. To that effect they even have an entire House Minor, House Ikeni, dedicated to being the legal representative of the family. Ikeni specialize in Imperial law as it pertains to the governing of Houses and the conduct of nobility. House Ikeni defends the Tseidan name and status as their representative.
House Tseida are staunchly pro-Butlerian law, and have been for several hundred years - at least to the time of Duke Aramis Atreides (somewhere between Vorian and Miklos Atreides). However their swift rise to power suggests a more recent development. Due to that fact, other Houses formed, as Amadi puts it, "weedy gardens of envy in their minds and hearts". Several Houses formed an anti-Tseidan league, disseminating malicious propaganda which haunts their image to this very day. That doesn't do or matter much, though, as House Tseida is the forerunner in legal consultation in the Empire, from Landsraad ordeals to spacing regulations.
Their envoy, Amadi Ikeni, is stationed at The Anvil Trading Post, primarily to keep an ear to the bickering of Atreides and Harkonnen Lieutenants, and potentially learn of any incriminating evidence or breaches of imperial law along with any other notable peculiarities regarding Kanly Law that may concern House Tseida.

Envoy Dialogue
AMADI IKENI: I presume you have some business with me or with House Tseida.
PLAYER:
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Tell me more about House Tseida.
3. What can we do to gain the vote of your House in the Landsraad?
4. Goodbye
AMADI IKENI:
1. You may call me Amadi Ikeni. I serve the interests of House Tseida on Arrakis. I myself am from the Minor House of Ikeni.
2. Many see Tseida as the least conventional of the Great Houses. Some call us enigmatic. We were the staunchest supporters of the Butlerian Jihad.
3. I know the ways to the hearts of our envoys. What do you offer in return. Present your case.
PLAYER:
1a Tell me more about House Ikeni.
1b Goodbye.

2b Goodbye
3a How about a donation?
3b Actually, nevermind.
3c Goodbye.
AMADI IKENI:
1a We are a Tseida House Minor and a very specialized one at that. House Ikeni acts as the sole legal representatives of the Tseidan royal family.
2a The unenlightened say we arose from a fanatical theocratic regime, but these are the words of the feckless, when they see true commitment.
3a An offering of spice melange would make for an excellent gesture.
3b Normally, my time is billable.

2b Goodbye
3a I don't have 300 spice right now.
3b Goodbye.
AMADI IKENI:
1a We specialize in Imperial law as it pertains to the governing of Houses and the conduct of nobility. We defend the Tseidan name.
2a In truth, we rose in power too quickly, occasioning the other houses to form weedy gardens of envy in their minds and hearts.
PLAYER:
1a An entire Minor House devoted to one's legal defense. Seems peculiar.
1b Sounds like a very focused existence.
1c Goodbye.
2a What was the consequence of this supposed envy?
2b [Honorable] If I recall my history, Duke Aramis Atreides spoke up for House Tseida.
AMADI IKENI:
1a There are many who find House Tseida peculiar - certainly the least conventional of the Great Houses. Is there anything else you'd like to know about me?
1b In a chaotic universe of so many winding pathways, focus is truly a blessing. Is there anything else you'd like to know about me?
2a Several Houses formed an anti-Tseidan league, disseminating malicious propaganda which haunts our image to this very day.
2b Correct. He said, "Such was the splendor of the risen phoenix that lesser birds could naught but call and hoot for all their plainess."
PLAYER:
1a Why set up shop in the Anvil?
1b Not at this time.
1c Goodbye.
2a (continues to next line)
2b Goodbye
AMADI IKENI:
1a The Anvil is a unique melting pot where enemies gather together. Certain inquiries I'm looking into, on behalf of my House, keep me here.
1b Very well.
2a But we march on. House Tseida is the forerunner in legal consultation in the Empire, from Landsraad ordeals to spacing regulations.
PLAYER:
1a (continues to next line)
1b Goodbye
2a (continues to next line)
2b Goodbye
AMADI IKENI:
1a And what a fine place to offer legal advice, where even the most aggrieve parties not only share the same room but must remain civil.
2a Our unparalleled mastery of law is sought out for criminal proceedings, kanly disputes, and Butlerian infractions.
PLAYER:
1a (continues to next line)
1b Goodbye
AMADI IKENI:
1a In particular, there are a pair of Atreides and Harkonnen officers who daily argue with each other over the finer points of Kanly law.
