House DeAngelis

Although the **DeAngelis Estate** dates back to the late 1600s, the coven itself is much older, given its ties to the Italian Renaissance. The coven was established around 1513 by Aisling DeAngelis and Cristofan Benedette. Both Psionic, the coven originally accepted only their own species, but as those numbers dwindled more and more with each century they began allowing Sanguine and even Krusniks to join their allegiance.

## Sigil & Colors

The house sigil is composed of a waning crescent moon with evergreens sprouting from the lower rim. The use of lunar symbology can be traced back to mortal mythological tales in which Nox *(commonly known as Nyx)* was popularly worshiped as the Goddess of the Night; the waning shape comes from the desire to expel negativity from ones life and house. The three evergreen trees represent determination, stoicism, and immortality.

The house colors are red and onyx, though argent embellishments may be painted and adorned during festivities or ceremonies, to draw connection to the night and moon.

## House Values

Throughout the centuries, the DeAngelis Coven has established and enforced a number of laws that all members are expected to obey. There aren't many of these laws, and they mainly concern the secrecy surrounding the coven's inner workings.

The laws are not written down; to write them would in itself be an infraction. Instead, the laws are passed by word of mouth from member to member.

* Hunts should be inconspicuous, with victims unlikely to be missed; their remains must be disposed of properly.

* Psionic-Krusnik hybrids are not to be created. Such creation is the ultimate taboo and punishable by death to both child, the creator, those who defend the child and those who know of its existence.

* Dealing with Krusnik Vampirics, except for the purpose of extermination, is prohibited.

* False witness, regardless of intent, is punishable by imprisonment.

* Hunting is forbidden in Milan, the town of residence of the coven.

* The sire is responsible for his or her's newborn's behavior and teaching of the laws before they can be released on their own. Disregarding this law is grounds for the banishment of both to the newborn and its sire.

Throughout the centuries, many vampirics are brought into the coven after these laws were established, and every new member was taught these laws by their sire. To this day, many members of the coven continue to obey the laws, despite their outdated nature.

## House Heirlooms

Unlike many other covens and families, the DeAngelis' have a number of heirlooms that are both ornamental and functional. Rather than one ancestral object passed down from generation to generation, such as with the swords Bright Star of House Morningstar or Brimstone of House Hemlock, each generation of DeAngelis-born coven members are granted two special gifts on the day of their birth; while they may have free access to both, they are not permitted to use their weapon outside of training until they come of age.

Their ornamental heirlooms are most often colored red and silver as tribute to their house colors; likewise, the weapons they receive will be primarily black but may have silver and red embellishments.
