Notes
One of the four aspects of the Oathbond and generally held to be the most sacred. Entered by birth, by marriage, or by the house choosing to bring someone in, which is common and carries exactly the same weight as the other two. A house that has taken someone in has taken them in, and nobody afterward distinguishes.
It does not end at death. The family bond continues with the living, carrying whatever honor or shame the dead left in it.
