If Zeroth is making an RP, I'm always in.

One question I have is what does it mean to be a part of House Kaides? I would assume it means our characters are part of one of the three big noble families, but it also sounds like there are quite a few of us; enough to have their own college even? So are we all part of the same family tree; cousins or siblings? Or is it more like several families under one banner?
