The House of Cleansing and Chronomancy.

Considered by many to be the oldest house, the Svato family are survivors.  Kintàla, the Avatar of the Ohmani, serves as a raw check on the power of the city's denizens.  Baxtalo is the young Master of the House, and the heir apparent to his aunt's powers.  Both have lived a cloistured, ascetic life for their own protection as much as for everyone else's.  They are attended to by a cadre of chronomancers and immortal advisors.  The House's official business while religious in origin is now administrative in nature.  They oversee matters of ritual purity and pollution, as well as seasonal observances and timekeeping throughout the city.

Avatar of Time, Wisdom, and the Ohmani people.  Kintàla was born with extraordinary powers that allow her to manipulate the age of people and objects.  Famously, as a child, she returned Darane to a child-like state just so the young avatar could have a playmate, and since then she has controversially used her powers to bring Emperor Bizian back to his prime.  Because the avataric powers are hereditary (and they can only otherwise be passed through nefarious means), Kintàla is expected to use her powers for the good of the state, serving as a raw check on denizens and prominent citizens.  She has not used her one kill, married, or borne children.  Due in part to her unpredictable personality and devastating potential, she remains separated from Ohmani society, with her young nephew Baxtalo serving as the Master of the House and the heir to her powers.  

The Elhannai consider the return of the avataric bloodline to their people a precondition for peacemaking talks with the Ohmani.

Master of House Svato.  When his parents were wrongly killed for treason, Baxtalo, still a boy, was officially chosen to lead over his aunt Kintàla.  Now a teenager, he's the youngest Master of the House in Ohma, although he maintains a friendship with another young house leader, Lajos.  He has a reputation for caution, as he tends to follow the advise of his immortal councillors closely.  He has not used his one kill, married, or fathered any children.
