Trivia
- House Devaedra is the only Great House that is named after its founder and still lead by her.
- Unused summary of House Devaedra from game files (and at this point can be inaccurate from lore perspective):
- The house of magic, Devaedra’s history is inextricably linked to the titans that walk the world. House Devaedra was an unremarkable noble house until their sages developed the arcane techniques required to tame a titan. They parleyed their special knowledge into great prominence and used mastery of magic to maintain that position even after other houses learned how to tame titans as well.
