Rior.
Founded not by channels, but by a man born in Gen Territory who was a Natural Donor. Hugh Valleroy. Sometime First Companion in Zeor, trained by Zeor Sectuib Klyd Farris, and head of his own House. His son, Jesse Dumas, succeeded him as both Companion and Sosectu ambrov Rior.
Their philosophy was all too often at odds with that of the Tecton, the alliance of Householders that eventually replaced the junct government of Nivet Territory. They did not forbid renSimes to seek out Gen transfer if both parties were healthy and in consent. The kill was seen as abhorrent, but nonetheless, not a reason to refuse nonjunct adults the right of their own choices. Gen and renSime, or Gen and channel, shared in the decision as equals.
Inevitable, perhaps, that over time the rift became an untenable position. Rior broke from the Tecton to go its own way.
This constituted a rebellion against the lawful Territory government. It couldn't be permitted. A battle at Leander Field ended in Rior's surviving membership gone into hiding, as fugitives. Jesse Dumas survived. His descendants followed after him in the same tradition.
Rior continued to abide, to the present day.
