The Line of Steffki, although an older line of Shireroth with many members who have held the Throne, is considered to be one of the lesser Imperial Bloodlines. Its notable members were Aurefiction, her heir, Meskan I, and later Meskan II.

Aurefiction was known for being the second female Kaiseress in the Second Era, and for her attempt to prevent the throne from being held by the Line of Metzler. The wife of Meskan I, who was later known as Kaiseress Jadie of the Line of Doran, was the actual power behind the kaisership. The Line of Steffki by direct descent came to an end with the death of Meskan II, who had no heir to continue the line. It was only through a nephew of Meskan II that Mo'll eventually traced his lineage.

Kaiser Aurangzeb also claimed descent from an obscure relative of Kaiseress Aurefiction who had the misfortune to be sold into a Babkhan harem belonging to the House of Osman.
