Daily Life
Being a clan supporting the pursuit of knowledge, East is known to taken on a quiet, calm lifestyle. Members are more than welcome to keep to their own, or form groups for discussions. There is a small company of hunters who assist with keeping the pride fed, as well as accompaniment for those who are not as physically able to go by themselves.
There is usually a weekly meeting at the amphitheater so that minds can be met and words spoken between all of the knowledge-seekers.
Spring Equinox Festival
With spring as their designated season, the East house is known to throw a rather large festival on the Spring Equinox - to celebrate the turning of seasons, and the circular renewal of life in the pride. They take time off from their intellectual endeavors to enjoy the lands, and entire pride around them, which lasts three days, starting on the Equinox. Any parents who are looking to introduce their children to the whole pride are welcome to do so, during the Festival, as new life is cherished and loved.
Marriage and Cubs
Marriage is something that is always encouraged within Tianxia. If the parties prefer, they can meet with the Lord and Lady to bless their wedding. During the marriage, it is requested that the parties make their own vows - as it makes the celebration more personal and loving.
Cubs outside of marriage are not frowned upon in the East, as long as they are raised with the spirit of learning en-kindled within them. If there is conflict, or the single parent is in need of assistance, a Nanny can be appointed to assist with the cubs whilst they grow towards adulthood.
Trading with Other Houses
Trading is simple - bring a little knowledge to the East clan, and they will trade willingly with you.

 To see where these are on the map; please regard this; map!
The Amphitheater;
A rather sizable circular 'building' of a sort, it rests next to the river and forest that permeate the middle of the pride's lands, and has been dug out in a way that members can rest on circular rest spots on different depths, and those who called the meetings or are currently speaking can stand at the bottom on a small pit to speak out to those around them.
There are weekly meetings here, where any who have something to speak about or announce are available to do so.
The Moorland;
Due to the superstitious Lady of the house, Win Yin Yue, the small moorland is considered a haunted place - and not to be wandered through lightly. You're welcome to prove her otherwise and use it, but she has instilled enough superstition in the pride that it isn't a place to be in, that most would consider it a pox.
Really, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a moorland.
The Silences;
Small patches of land that are reserved for members of the pride who require places of silence where others are not allowed. They can be reserved by any of the pride members (including other clans in the main pride), and when occupied, none can enter. They are surrounded by the forests of the East clan, and are within reach of water and the main lands, but quiet enough for solace.

The ranks below make up what is called the 'career' of a student. Which means they all stem from this basic rank!
Reminder: The ranks below, with the exception of teacher, require that the SoA be a member of the East House to obtain. However, once the title is reached they can move to any of the other Houses and maintain the title, so long as the position is available! You may apply for a rank and a House change at the same time, working under the assumption the SoA moved soon after being promoted.
Quote: Doctor high classThese SoA are the closest to medicine men as they can get. They've spent plenty of time learning about the body and are quite knowledgeable with how to use plants and herbs to help the recovery process along. This isn't limited only to injury, but disease as well. Doctors are very nice to have around, despite their limited success rate. They might often be a little pushy or demanded, but it is trusted that this behavior is in everyone's best interests. Doctors are usually responsible for finding their own material, though they occasionally have apprentices (Scholars of Medicine) around to do their bidding. Some doctors even experiment with growing their herbs, with varied results. Quantity: Limited Requirements: East House. Already a Scholar of Medicine. 3 RPs.
Quote: Historian high classSoA in this rank are usually quite interested in learning about the history of their pride and those which Tianxia allies itself to. Historians tend to participate in every large event in the pride, and try their best to remember every single thing as accurately as possible. They often posses quite some knowledge about law. Historians may be called upon by royalty and nobility for advice, seeing as knowledge of the past can be quite handy when planning for the future. Quantity: Limited Requirements: East House. Already a Scholar of History. 3 RPs.
Quote: Philosopher high classSpending a lot of time thinking, philosophers tend to ponder about the world as a whole. They study the workings of the mind, reason, existence, language and more. An enormous focus is placed on thinking critically and rational argument. Philosophers are very well respected in Tianxia, often thought to be the wisest SoA about and as such it is not unusual for their advice to be asked for by just about anyone. Quantity: Limited Requirements: East House. Already a Scholar of Philosophy. 3 RPs.
Quote: Scholar mid-high classAfter spending some time as teachers, SoA may move on to becoming scholars. Here is when one's interests really begins to have a large impact on their studies, and as a result, there are currently three kinds of scholars: of History, Philosophy and Medicine. Scholars spend plenty of time trying to learn from more experienced SoA about their area of interest, but even more doing research on their own. Scholars of Medicine (often referred to as 'medics'), for example, may spend time dissecting prey beasts as well as they can and learning (as well as experimenting) how to heal certain ailments. Quantity: Limited Requirements: East House. Already a Teacher. 5 RPs. "Skip to" for: Princes, Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses
Quote: Teacher middle classThe next step up from students, teachers are still not extremely specialized in what they know. Still, they tend to focus on teaching about things they are more interested in. Teachers can work with cubs or students, relaying several kinds of general information, as well as certain skills necessary for survival. It isn't unusual for a teacher to help parents when teaching their cubs how to hunt, particularly those with large litters. Quantity: Unlimited Requirements: Already a Student. 4 RPs. "Skip to" for: SoA with High Class parents |
