Vox Maiorum

Translating as "Voice of the Ancestors", Vox Maiorum is an unofficial title bestowed upon spirit priests who serve as the personal priests of the Bostran Familiae Martiales. These priests are sworn to serve the houses of their birth, despite having surrendered their house name upon swearing their holy vows. Their duties include attending to the needs of a house's honoured dead, acting as a conduit between the spirits of its ancestors and its living members, and presiding over spiritual ceremonies such as funerals and weddings. They are also responsible for chronicling the lives of each house member and documenting their precious bloodlines. 
The title of Vox Maiorum is strictly unofficial and has no legal standing within the meritocratic hierarchy of the Aurelian Empire. While the practice of appointing Voces Maiorum has spread to other turians worlds, it is still predominately a Bostran tradition. This tradition is rooted in the Bostran spiritual belief that priests who share blood with a petitioner can more naturally commune with the spirits of their joint ancestors, allowing them to become a physical conduit through which those ancestors may speak. This tradition is most noticeably practised by House Victus, House Sparatus, House Corinthus, House Oraka, and House Dorian, among others. Until he died in 2314 CE, Justinien Victus served as the Vox Maiorum of House Victus. His protégée, Claudia Victus, succeeded him upon his death. Claudia is currently training her chosen protégé, Gidion Victus, who is still yet to take his holy vows.
