In another thread I mentioned a quote in TPG which strongly implies
that it is possible to have more than one emperor per House reign. The
quote was referring to the Vallista who originally built the palace,
and it was noteworthy that his reign encompassed the entirety of the
Vallista reign of that cycle. The implication seemed pretty clear that
it was possible, or even common, for this not to be the case.
