Table of Contents: Houses
Houses are comprised of a House Summit or Leadership, and a number of members.. The House Summit consists of two positions - the Quaestor and the Aedile. The Quaestor is the primary command position of the House, with the Aedile acting as an assistant. The Aedile also serves as acting commander when the Quaestor is on leave. Houses can receive titles upon being placed in a Rite of Supremacy Vendetta. These titles are based upon the House's placing. For example, the first placed house would receive the title "First House of the Brotherhood". These titles are held by the unit until another Rite is held and the House is displaced.
