Bloodlines

Bloodlines adhere to a hierarchy.

Each of the Twelve Great Houses of Aideena are comprised of smaller units within smaller units, connected by genealogy. Marriage, familial obligation, wealth, and social standing are all strictly defined by which clan one’s family belongs to and which House that clan is bound to by blood.

Several thousand households comprise several hundred family-lines. These families in turn form the several dozen clan-groups that make up each of The Twelve Great Houses.
