Fading Suns Quiz

That's cool I only guess it because House Decados was one of Vladimir's greatest and earliest (I think) opponents Well, I'll post a new problem in a day or so

QUESTION: (I'll try something a little different this time, just for the hell of it :p ). For FSR I have invented a group called the Quaide Society, which I believe I only ever mentioned once. What was the Quade Society, and perhaps more importantly, who did I name the group after and why? (yes, that's a meta-question).

[ZeroJanvier]

The Quaide Society is a psychic coven,"a secret organization dedicated to the scientific research of psychism based on Tethys" (Player's Guide Revised Edition, page 180).

I think it was named after Rustin Quaide, one of the writers of the Second edition of Fading Suns.

(Man, it is hard to predict which questions are difficult and which are easy! I thought this one was going to be WAY difficult!)

Yes, you're correct. Specifically, I chose "Quaide" in recognition of Rustin Quaide's seminal text on psychics in Dark Between the Stars (I think it was).

Alright, ZeroJanvier, it's your turn yet again.

Um... I know that there's "Josef Hazat" who in reality is a cover identity for a Van Gelder knight (can't recall his name). So perhaps they are all pseudonyms for the same dude?

It's rather funny that there's a countess in the group

QUESTION: Which famous person, known by a pseudonym or trade name, was Yasuo Nan-chen? (Faction suffix left out to make the problem more difficult)

[ZeroJanvier]

His name suggests he's a Li-Halan. Should I have a look at this House's history ?
