Houses of Rome

There are seven Houses of Rome. The Houses of Rome are the noble vampire families of ancient Rome, despite having no blood ties. Each house is ruled by an ancient Methuselah, The Dominus, often unknown by most, including the members of the Houses.
The Methuselah has a representative as the only link between itself and the House, known as the Praeses, who often takes care of the daily matters. In some Houses even the title of Praeses can be hidden though it is often seen as unnecessarily secretive and paranoid.
The Magistrate has one seat and represents the House on the Eternal Senate. Due to the constant exposure, the Magistrate is often more popular, more known than the Praeses and seen as the outward face of the House by the lesser.
The Legastus is the war-leader of the House, it falls to the Legastus to levy troops, and has the final decision on how and where to use them. Often, but not necessarily, the Legastus is the most accomplished warrior the House can present.
All members that does not carry a title or do not have a known role are referred to as Sodalis (member). In spite of having no title, Sodalis are typically very accomplished vampires and can at times even rival other old vampires or members of the Eternal Senate. Sodalis is typically also the ones that more often than not give patronage to other vampires. These vampire, the Precator, hope that by offering free service to one day become a member of the House.
