House Dvora

House Dvora (also known as the House of the Devouring Hounds) was a recent Gallifreyan House, although not among the newer of the Newbloods Houses. Despite its moderate size, it was a cornerstone of the six ruling Houses during the War.

The "Devouring Hounds" title referred to the controlled dominance of a pack leader rather than the wild savagery of the followers. Dvora was an "alpha male" house. Its most notorious members were the Imperator and the War King, both of whom led precedent-setting Presidencies. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

The secret minutes of House Dvora were kept in the records library's "Scarlet Chapterhouse" collection; Cousin Shuncucker burned them down in her escape from prison. (AUDIO: A Labyrinth of Histories)

Behind the scenes
It is likely that House Dvora was so named in The Book of the War in order to imply that Romanadvoratrelundar was one of its members. A line in A Labyrinth of Histories suggests that House Dvora is linked to the Prydonian Chapter.
