House Zeizerer is the most powerful drow house on Apostae.1 House Zeizerer controls Nightarch, the largest city on Apostae, and has a reputation as the premier weapon manufacturer in the Pact Worlds system, due to possessing the broadest and most successful network for weapons sales.23

Goal

House Zeizerer's extended ammo magazines and long-lasting batteries are fired from more than half the weapons in the Pact Worlds system. Unlike weapons, munitions always stay in demand, and Zeizerer is keen to acquire repeat customers. Zeizerer avoids producing the gruesome, cruel and destructive weapons that drow are often known for, and has acquired a position as Apostae's softer face, which it neither denies not embraces.2

Structure

House Zeizerer's business interests are controlled by multiple nobles.2

Members

Ceobarn Zeizerer is a high level representative of House Zeizerer who deals with external organizations, including the Starfinder Society. Ceobarn is an intelligent inventor and scientist, who rose through the ranks in House Zeizerer despite his gender. He is a masterful manipulator in addition to being a talented scientist.4

Lady Villyth Zeizerer is a minor noble existing on the outer fringes of the intricate familial web of House Zeizerer.5 She is something of a rebel, and has a history of acting without the approval of House Zeizerer itself.3

Sites

House Zeizerer holds total dominion over Nightarch.2 Its subsidiary Nightarch Air and Water charges small fees for essential needs, and can embargo most of the city outside of rival houses' towers (which are self-sufficient), forcing them to wear environmental suits when out of their home.6

House Zeizerer's factories manufacture much more weaponry than they sell; the rest is kept in the Zeizerer Repository, a huge vault whose exact location is a closely-guarded secret, known only to senior members of the house and the repository's staff.7

Relationships

House Zeizerer's closest rival is House Arabani, who works hard to spurn its competitor. Zeizerer publicly ignores such jabs and is content to accumulate weapons in the Zeizerer Repository, while other drow houses watch and plan for the inevitable conflict.8
