House Shahrizai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series, House Shahrizai is a powerful, wealthy, and influential noble family of Kusheth. Though they are not the ruling family in their province, they are the oldest House in Kushiel's line. The family's most infamous member is Melisande Shahrizai, the most cunning plotter of her day.
The House Shahrizai colors are black and gold, and their emblem is three keys intertwined.
