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. Of moderate size, House Dvora was nevertheless a cornerstone of the ruling six.

The Devouring Hounds title should not be taken as indicative of wild savagery but rather of the controlled dominance of a pack leader, for Dvora is one of the few elements of Gallifreyan society to which tribal anthropology would apply. The House's character is that of the alpha male. Its most notorious cousin was the Lord President Morbius. (FP: The Book of the War)
