=== Common Traits of a House ===

* '''The Sigil:''' Every House bears a unique mark or symbol. It may be worn openly or tattooed in secret, sewn into clothing, or etched into hidden armour plates. The sigil is sacred, its defilement is an act of war.
* '''The Keeper:''' Each House has a Keeper, the steward of its history and customs. Some Keepers are scholars. Others are warriors, oracles, or relic-bound ghosts. It is their duty to preserve memory, not for glory, but so the House never forgets who it is.
* '''The Purpose:''' All Houses have a reason to exist. For some, it is vengeance. For others, redemption, protection, or even the preservation of knowledge. The Purpose is the heartbeat of the House, and members are raised with its words whispered over cradles and grave sites alike.
