Editing Dirae: the Kindly Ones (section)

== House ==

There are five major bloodlines of catgirls, each with its own homeland, and each has a Working which, while not unique to that bloodline, is certainly most associated with it. Though these five have the most prominence, there are many more which exist, even if they are less widespread. It should be noted that these Houses were never fully restricted to whichever place they claim as their homelands. These are simply the places most tied to them. Japan is not the whole of the Far East, despite the fact that your average anime fan* may think of Japan before any other country.

Each House also adds a few more sins which can be committed against Ancestry. 

*I am perfectly free to make this broad generalization, being an anime fan myself. 

[[Bakeneko]]: Many are quite surprised upon first meeting this Lineage, which traces its way back to Japan. Shouldn't the only Japanese Lineage be, well, the epitome of catgirl-ness? Apparently not, for this Lineage holds an even worse reputation than the Sakhet. It is associated with the Workings of [[Ichijin]], which allow them to steal the lives and energy of others, control fire, and manipulate dreams (both of the sleeping kind, and otherwise).

[[Cait Sith]]: This Lineage originated from the Britain Isles, though it is, as its name suggests, mostly associated with Scotland. They are associated with the Workings of [[Cruthlach]], which allow them to pass by unseen and unnoticed, communicate from across great distances and past the barriers of worlds, and manipulate luck.

[[Impaka]]: A Lineage originally from east Africa, these catgirls have a reputation for aloofness, even amongst close kind. They are associated with the Workings of [[Ifa]], which allow them to manipulate the regenerative process, shape stone with their hands, and control the wills of others.

[[Sakhet]]: Also known as the Sacmis, these catgirls are Egyptian in origin, and perhaps the most violent of the five Lineages. They are associated with the Workings of [[Mahes]], which allow them to spread and cure diseases, instil dread, and slaughter their enemies easily.

[[Tehuantl]]: Catgirls who are descended primarily from Mesoamerica, and have a bad reputation for being bloodthirsty to the extreme, though they don't entirely deserve this. They are associated with the Workings of [[Yaotl]], which involve blood, vengeance and retribution, and sacrifice.
