Chanel Daughter Houses

Chanel has been blessed with four daughter houses and one granddaughter house. I'm presenting their information here for anyone interested. Chanel itself is a daughter House to Zeor. This makes Householding Ahlvastin a granddaughter House to Zeor.

Householding Alger

Alger has been a daughter house to Chanel since about 1988. It was created by Donell Meadows to serve as a vehicle for her wonderful cartoons. Many of them can be seen in the HCI ART GALLERY
Alger is lead by Sectuib Keogo and plagued by O.P. Octopest He is a cute little octopus who was fished out of the ocean by a member of Alger who promptly took him home. Against his better judgement Sectuib Keogo agreed to let him stay. And therein lies many a tale.
To the best of my knowledge Alger is a closed House. Donell has not been active in S~G fandom for some time.

Householding Clarassa

Clarassa is strictly a fictional house that I created to use as a background for writing about the S~G Red Cross
Colors: Crimson, white, blue
Virtue: Stubborness
Motto: Many tentacles make light work
Speciality: Rescue work
Householding Clarassa fulfills in the early Tecton some of the same functions the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies did in the days of the ancients. The name Clarassa is a corruption of Clara, the legendary head of the ancient Red Cross.  The symbol is drawn from the same source. Clarassa is unique in that it is believed to be the first Householding to be successfully run by a renSime.
Head of householding: Tuib Marge Robbins, with Karen MacLeod, Second in Clarassa, at KLitman323@aol.com
Symbol A blue crescent surrounding a red cross with a large star of David in the middle.
Membership: Closed. The House may be used for Fan Fiction with permission.

Householding Ahlvastin

By virture of being a Daughter House to Takear, Ahlvastin is granddaughter to Chanel and great granddaughter to Zeor. I think this must be a S~G first. Ahlvastin means "overlooking."
