Editing Ramsu (section)

== History and the Rise of the Houses ==
The earliest noble families to rule [[San Ema]] were breeders of ramsu. It was through the domestication of the beasts that the three greatest families took control of the moon, and their subsequent struggle for sole mastery of it produced San Ema's first global conflict.

The ramsu therefore occupy a peculiar position in San Ema's self-understanding. The moon is celebrated across the River for its philosopher-kings, its public debate, and its conviction that leadership must arise from reason and be chosen democratically — yet the houses that established its order did so from the backs of animals, by force, and against each other.
