Van Siegfried Clan

The Van Siegfried Clan (ゔあんしぐふれえどいちもん Van Shigufureedo Ichimon) is one of the oldest and most prominent noble families within the country of Sankta.

Founding
The clan was originally founded several centuries ago by a wandering nobleman after he arrived in the country of Sankta, a short while after the country was first founded. It has since then grown into one of the most influential families in the country, with several of its members possessing reputations as beloved leaders, renowned researchers, and powerful mages.

Structure
The clan is composed of one Main House, and seven lower branch houses. Although the lower houses are roughly equal in rank, the Main House is viewed as the highest and most prestigious branch within the entirety of the clan.

"Council of Eight"
The acting heads of the clan's eight houses make up the Council of Eight, essentially the clan's judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Their duties include settling disputes within the clan, and the general oversight of the activities of the clan's members. Further, the Council of Eight reviews cases for the excommunication of clan members and passes judgement based on their decision.
