❂ The Ancestral Edict of the Ithrandos ❂

As bound by the First Memory and sealed by the Vigilant Hand

“We are memory made blood, unbroken when all else fades.”

ON THE LINE OF TRUE BLOOD

1. The Line Begins With Aluin
   All claims must trace through Aluin Ithrandos, the Last Flame before the Present. No word before his is counted, no legacy before his is weighed.
    
2. On Adoption
   A soul may be brought into our house - but not into our blood. Adopted kin may wear our crest in alliance, but not our name in truth.
    
3. On Bastards
   Those born outside sacred union do not carry the Ithrandos flame. Only by the will of the Father and the Matriarch may such children be named - but even then, the blood does not stir for them.
    
4. Inheritance of Name
   The name Ithrandos is a legacy of blood, not gender. It may pass through mother or father, so long as the blood is true.
   
   If their claim is questioned, they must stand before the Matriarch, who alone sees the truth in blood and spirit. She may affirm or deny, and her word is final.

ON UNION AND NAME

5. Spouses and Their Bond
   Those wed to the Ithrandos may take the name, but not the blood. If they leave, the name must be left behind - unless the Matriarch/Patriarch sees fit to grant its echo.
    
6. On Children of Broken Bonds
   A child born from a parent who has left our House carries no claim, even if the name was once granted.

ON THE KEEPING OF THE BLOOD

7. Only the Living Named May Speak for the Line
   The bloodline is not theory - it is living, breathing, proven. Only those recognized may stand for Ithrandos in Council or Record.
