Fifth House of Betazed

A hereditary noble house on Betazed that anchors lineage, ceremonial authority, and social rank. The Fifth House supplies formal titles and sacred regalia—cited here as the Sacred Chalice of Riix and the Holy Rings of Betazed—and establishes Lwaxana Troi's claim to ambassadorial status and cultural legitimacy. Its internal hierarchy centers on hereditary heirs and ceremonial holders whose standing confers diplomatic weight in interpersonal and interstellar encounters, shaping how its members enter and disrupt official proceedings.
