FAQ: Houses of Alluvius
Profiles of the once Tribes, and later Houses of Alluvius.
This section is separated historically.
The Tribes & Clans exhibit the structure of Alluvian society within the bounds of the Consolidation (Pre-Imperial to Revolution); Tribes are larger groups, and have a totem which is perceived to be "actively' assisting them as some sort of spiritual being or guide, while Clans are smaller groupings and have either lost their totem or have abandoned them.
The Houses are what the Tribes & Clans develop into via socio-cultural experimentation and determination by the leadership. The Imperial Houses are those put in place under the rule of Damon Logos, which subtly 'drafted" people from the tribes to form selective units; the Lordly Houses & Common Houses are how the structure exists post Empire " into the Republic.
