HOUSES

   Houses are large families or clans that live in Kasuria.
   An "open" bloodline is one that is neither a Great nor Lesser
   House, but nevertheless has existed in Furcadia for many
   years, and there are many who bear these surnames.  If you
   have Pedigree: Unknown, you may not take one of these
   surnames.  If you take the surname, you are automatically
   related to all others with that surname.)
