4.25.2 Joining a House

(See also: HELP HOUSES, HELP TASKS, HELP CERTIMENE)

There are up to two routes to joining a house. To see which options are available to you, use HOUSE LIST. You'll see a list something like the following:

Short Name      In Which City  Long Name
--------------  -------------  ----------------------------------------------
Scions*         Eleusis        The Scions of the Ithmia
Merchants       (no city)      The Grand Merchant Collective
Somatikos       Hashan         The Somatikos

A * by the short name indicates that you are able to join that House by speaking with the relevant denizen, after completing a few tasks for the city (see HELP TASKS). Certimene speaks for those houses lacking a city affiliation.

If you do not see an asterisk for a House that accepts your class, you will need to speak with someone in that House to find out if the house is willing to induct you.

To find someone to speak with in the Virtuosi, for example, use HELP HOUSE VIRTUOSI. You'll see something like the following:

The Virtuosi
. . .
                    [CURRENTLY IN THE REALM]
        Able to induct: Meelg, Enihs, Wolg, and Thgirb

Then you could try
  TELL Wolg Excuse me: I'd like to join your house. Could you please help?

You are on your way to joining the house of your choice!
