The Tur'Lista caste, being the smallest populated of the four castes, is the ruling caste. Given this duty over four thousand years ago during the Great Exile of the Lorath, the Tur'Lista house has been the bastion of sanity and cooperation for the Lorath race. Leading the race in most all things, they are the focal point for politics and religion. In the past the Xiaah of the race has been seen as a physical embodiment of the Goddess of the race, and as such the race has faithlessly followed the ruling caste until recent events. Always a pair, a brother and a sister, the Tur'Lista household has always been at the most four, simply due to resources at those times. Always at the head of the race, the Tur'Lista house has always looked out for the other house, making sure they work in harmony to continuously push their race forward.
Unlike the other three Castes, the Tur'Lista house has elements from each house, giving them a smattering of the three houses to ensure there is no selectivity or favoritism. Such as that is, the sister of the group is only usually a little taller then the brother, but not by much. Always well trimmed, both siblings are in shape and more then capable of throwing around their own strength. White hair died to what ever color they wish,
The Tur'Lista caste lives a life of privilege that is well earned. Carrying the mantle of leadership, as well as balancing the ties between the other three houses is of course, tough. With that being said, the Tur'Lista house tends to vary. With some of the generations being more harsh and militaristic, some have been kinder and much more shaded toward the shamanistic ways of the Llamnel, with others still have pushed the New Tur'Listan household to their limits with new inventions, each household is a tricky guess for how they will turn out. The current house, worried now about foreign policy, tends to be a little more eccentric in public, yet much more calm and relaxed in private.
The Tur'Lista house, since the creation of the Cyberware that the New Tur'Listans developed a while ago, have always been at the cutting edge of the current cybernetic hardware. With a heavy need for such things due to their day to day dealings with countless bits and peices of information, from fleet movements and current foreign relations, to the smallest of things like the dinner menu, their children grades, and small love notes sent back and forth. Such being, the Tur'Lista house always has Cyberware, and is always at the leading front of the technology.
The Religion of House Tur'Lista is the most comprehensive of all the houses. While the Fyunnen worship the Goddess mostly, the the New Tur'Listans worship the God mostly, with the Llamnel worship nature as a form of beauty that the Goddess created, House Tur'Lista worships both the Goddess and the God, seeing both as nessecary. While the God is hated at times, and usually associated with those things that are bad wrong and evil, they still see the need of the God, for the knowledge he embodies, and for the seed of life he gave the Goddess to give birth to their race. The Goddess is seen as all things good and wholesome with the race, as well as being seen as the mother to the race. The role that the siblings play in the religion is they are seen as the figure heads, and even at times the avatars of the Goddess and God.
