[[: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:
[[:Category:Houses|Houses]] are adventurer-run organisations dedicated to a common purpose. They serve as cornerstones of conflict, discovery, and camaraderie for the realm of Achaea. They can be of immense help by explaining skills, helping complete tasks, and more, especially after you pass Level 30 and no longer have access to the Newbie channel.

==Joining a House==
--------------  -  -------------  --------------------------------- ------------
After you complete the Cultists' Conspiracy and the necessary tasks, you'll find a new category of requirements. These city tasks will introduce you to various denizens in your city while learning more about it. Joining a house has many benefits including:
Crownmerchants  Y  Hashan        The Merchants of the Crown        Ourania
*interacting within a community of like-minded adventurers with a wealth of knowledge and resources
*using any [[:Category:House expansions|house expansions]], such as a [[Master Crystal]] or a private [[forge]]
*sharing in the political clout of your house, such as voting in elections or referendums
*holding or aiding a leadership position listed in HOUSE STRUCTURE


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>.
After you complete the city tasks, then you will need to find the denizen in your city who can induct you into a house. HOUSE LIST <city> show the houses stationed in your city while HOUSE LIST <class> shows all the houses that accept a certain class. Here's a quick example using the two houses based in Delos:


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).

|-
|Merchants

|[[The Grand Merchant Collective]]
|-
|Cij
|(no city)
|The [[Carnivalis Institute of Jestering]]

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.
Once you join a house, you can speak on your new House's newcomer channel by using HNT <message> (the HNT stands for House Newcomer Tell). See who from your house is in the realm right now using HOUSEWHO (or HWHO for short).
 
If you wish to join one of the two houses in [[Delos]], which are not affiliated with a city, then you must speak with [[Certimene]] in [[Delos]] and ASK CERTIMENE JOIN <short name>.
 
;Changing Houses
You can change your house at any time. If you decide to change houses, then it pays to learn more by talking to someone from that house. 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. It is worth noting that joining a house in a different city will require you to be a citizen of that city.
