Editing House of Moroth (section)

== Values and political positions ==

If most members of the House of Moroth are warriors, intelligence is considered as very important. Because the Klingon Education is mainly concentrated on the warrior aspect of the Klingon life and lack the same teaching quality of the Federation, several members of their house have studied abroad. The House of Moroth is also known to combine both progressist and traditional values. Many of their members are hoping for the Klingon Empire to quit their "isolation policy", having better relations with the Federation, and militate for change in some of the Klingon norms and practice (ex : rethinking the inheritance policy in order to make men and women more equal, punishing people for death only in the most extreme dishonor cases, etc.). However, the House of Moroth are also among the House who complains about the lack of discipline and honor of the Klingons, and favor a return to "Kahless values". 

Politically, the House of Moroth is not interested in power. Rather, they have always remained aside of power, and preferred to concentrate on foreign policy. The House of Moroth have excellent relations with the Federation, relation that have started before the creation of the house, with Kor and his relation with Curzon Dax. They refuse the idea of the Klingon joining the Federation, but the House nevertheless believe the Klingon Empire should have greater and more extensive political and economical relations with the Federation. They also believe several of the Federations practices, rules and technologies should be taken as examples to reform the Klingon Empire, as it is considered by team to be "on the downside because of the corrosive effect personnal gain had done to the Empire". 

Among the House of Moroth specific practices, it is prohibited in the house to kill someone unless that person has committed a dishonor so huge that the person living is itself an insult so great it could not be bared. Also, because the House was and still lack members, the R'uustai is a very popular practice, and every adult members of the House has the secrecy to pre-select people who could eventually become members of the House of Moroth. Every six month, a House reunion is organised where every "pre-selected" people are invited. They have to past a series of tests, and if they succeed, they are then officially accepted in the House of Moroth in a ritual similar to the R'uustai, but which involve sometimes more than 10 peoples at the same time. Also specific to the House of Moroth, each members of the House who is economically prosper enough must verse a certain amount to the House of Moroth. Also, when there need to be blood for a ritual, the House of Moroth cut with their House knife their fourth finger (the finger veins being directly linked with the hearth), the House considering the honor of a Klingon is not measured by the strength of his hand, but of his hearth.   
In the House of Moroth, women are considered equal to men, and therefore have the same rights (including inheritance rights) and opportunity than men.
