Houses each have a locus of power located somewhere in Avendar. In each of these locations a mystical vault has been erected, where the houses store their treasures and focus the energy of the mystical stones of power. Houses that have secured a number of the stones of power will gain abilities based on both their house and the quantity of stones possessed. The general grounds claimed by a house will also serve as a place of general safety for its members, and offer a variety of services.

==Qualifying==
In general, one should be at least level 45 and have been in play for at least three weeks before sending an unsolicited application to a house. Individual houses may have further requirements; please see the materials regarding the specific house you are interested in for that information.

It takes roughly one week from sending an application to a house before a response should be expected; this is to give game staff time to observe your character in play with this intention known.

This should go without saying, but breaking into a house you have applied to will likely result in immediate disqualification of your application. While possible to roleplay past such transgressions, one commonality in such cases is showing a high degree of respect for the house and its agents-- such violations do not speak for one's trustworthiness.
