[[:Category:Houses|Houses]] are collections of like-minded individuals who share a common purpose. They can be of immense help to a newbie by explaining skills, optimum placement of lessons in said skills, and of course goals to work toward. They frequently teach basic anti-[http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=THEFT theft], and are great places to make friends and learn more about [[Achaea]] in general. If you did not join a House during the [[Trial of Rebirth]], you may join one by speaking with [[Certimene]] in [[Delos]]. Before you commit to a certain House, however, you should decide what your character's interests and goals are. There are many Houses, so take your time. To view a list of houses, look at the HOUSE LIST. Each house will be listed similar to the following: | |||

The ''short name'' is often used in place of the ''long name'' in casual speech and the usage of certain commands. The value under the '''A''' column details the House's policy on auto-induction via [[Certimene]]. - a 'Y' means it's allowed, and a 'N' means it is not. The next row shows which [[City]] the House is based in. Some Houses require that their members be citizens of their city, while the rare few are not based in any particular city. The ''long name'' is the official name of the house. Finally, the [[Patron]] is the [[Divine]] Who lends His or Her support and guidance to the House. To view detailed information on a particular house, look at HELP HOUSE <short name>. | |||
Houses may place restrictions on what classes may be members. If you have a [[class]] (highly recommended!), use HOUSE LIST <class> to view all Houses who accept members of that class. Once you've decided on a House, and you know that it accepts your class, you can speak with Certimene to join. Given a 'Y' value for your House's '''A''' column, visit Certimene in Delos and ASK CERTIMENE JOIN <short name>. Assuming all went well, welcome to the House! You can speak on your new House's newcomer channel by using HNT <message> (the HNT stands for House Newcomer Tell). | |||
Of course, there's always the odd occasion that you cannot join via Certimene, whether the House not allow induction via Certimene or a matter of your higher level or age. In such a case, you should use HELP HOUSE <short name> to view their information. There should be a section entitled ''[CURRENTLY IN THE REALM]''. Any names listed there, next to "Able to induct:" can induct you if you speak to them privately. | |||
