Creature:Vanara/Lineages

"We may not be divided up into great clans like the Mendel or Volver, but we do have our ancestries that we are proud of"

- A Vanara

Lineages are the Vanara version of clans, tribes, houses, etc that many species divide themselves up into. While much loser then the clans of many of the Vanara's allies, such as the Mendel, the Vanara still consider them an important part of their identity and hold their lineage in high regard. Due to the Vanara tendency not to mention their lineage by name or use it in their names few outsiders often have any idea the lineages exist. Instead of putting their lineage in their name a Vanara tattoos the symbol of their lineage on their right hand.

Lineages, while not highly stratified do have a loose system of ranking based on seniority. Kits are Vanara yet to reach maturity, Amiraj are full grown Vanara, Elders are those who have retired, and the Master is the head of the lineage and elected from its most capable members. In marriage the members of a lineage keep their lineage with the children born of the union carrying the lineage of their same gender parent. New members can be adopted into a lineage regardless of ancestry or species as long as three members of the lineage are willing to vouch for them.
