The houses of Clan Tremere are little more than cults of personality at their worst, but are distinct colleges of magic or philosophy at their most valid. The clan consists of an unknown number of houses, some claiming only a handful of members, while others — the House of Tremere — claim every childe of the clan. The Lesser Houses constitute those Houses which have been officially recognized by the leadership of the Tremere Clan. While some may be thought to be mere rumor by the Clan at large, others are well known and prestigious.
