Title and House

All Arcadian Sidhe must begin play with at least Title 1. It must still be purchased as normal.

Title is capped at 2 at creation unless a Household is being created. Please see Holdings below.

Title at creation must be justified. Title 1 is automatically justified for any Sidhe and for members of the Common Kith with Noble parents. Title 2 must be justified by an accomplishment. For Arcadian Sidhe, this can be a fairly straightforward right of passage but generally requires a more outstanding deed from others.

All Sidhe must belong to a House at creation. Autumn Sidhe may not belong to House Danaan.

Non-Sidhe characters beginning play with Title must also belong to a House. The House must make sense IC. Beaumayn, Danaan, Dougal, Fiona, Liam, and Scathach are the Houses most likely to accept non-Sidhe. Gwydion, Ailil, and Aesin will do so most rarely.

Characters may belong to the banner house of Firinne, Tinean, or Barghest if they belong to the relevant sworn House. Firinne may consider the County of Islands their appointed lands given the Goblin Town situation. Barghest may not be Sidhe.
