My point above was that it's not obvious to me that the LH is in any 
official sense part of House Jhereg - and I don't off-hand recall any 
requirement for a Dragaeran citizen to be in a house if gya is willing to 
do without the associated advantages.

Indeed, if the LH were part of House Jhereg, one would figure they would 
have at least insisted on a council seat.
