| Households Author: Larae | Also referred to as Orders, Households are fraternal or family-like organizations within the vampyre community. These organizations are groups of individuals who share common philosophies, ceremonies, membership requirements, traditions, belief system, sigil, hierarchy and theme. The organization and purpose of each household varies from fraternal to spiritual. There are no requirements for forming a household, however becoming recognized in the community is the challenge, as a reputation, respect and name must be built and earned. Households range in size from as few as three members to as many as a hundred. Some large houses have clutches, which represent a branch of the family tree and are usually organized into inner and outer circles; with the Dedicants, Pledges, Swans, and Affiliates in the Outer Circle, and full members and Elders in the Inner Circle. |
