THE FOUR HOUSES OF MIDGARD
As decreed in 33 V.E. by the Imperial Senate
in the Eternal City
HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD
Shifters, humans, witches, ordinary animals, and many others to whom Cthona calls, as well as some chosen by Luna
HOUSE OF SKY AND BREATH
Malakim (angels), Fae, elementals, sprites,* and those who are blessed by Solas, along with some favored by Luna
HOUSE OF MANY WATERS
River-spirits, mer, water beasts, nymphs, kelpies, nøkks, and others watched over by Ogenas
HOUSE OF FLAME AND SHADOW
Daemonaki, Reapers, wraiths, vampyrs, draki, dragons, necromancers, and many wicked and unnamed things that even Urd herself cannot see
*Sprites were kicked out of their House as a result of their participation in the Fall, and are now considered Lowers, though many of them refuse to accept this.
