The Harps of Cassiopeia is a sorority that was originally founded in Saint-Germain Montrelet 205AC. It's founder, Ghislaine Mathilde d'Eluise at first intended for it to be something similar to a tea group, where noble women could relax and exchange feeble chit chat. However, over the years the sorority has kicked out the old, and raked in the new. The group now entails energetic, up to date policies with vibrant activities for its members to partake in.
The Sorority functions with a set of simple rules and principles. Loyalty, Grace, Etiquette and Sisterhood is what the Harp's follow devoutly. The Sorority is not just a little tea group, it's a way to make a strong bond to last through the years. A family away from family. The lodge does a lot of outdoorsy activities. Have it be horse riding, hiking or something more mellow for the more older and mature women. Tea, snacks and more calm activities will be provided such as painting, or music.

▸ Lodge Matriarch:
The Lodge Matriarch's role is quite simple, she oversees the ins and outs of the Cassiopeia Sisters, can dismiss anyone at any given time due to their behaviour or complaints being filed against them. She can appoint any member to a higher position if she deems them worthy and so on. More than one woman can have this position, and it is usually the founders or the founders most trusted who occupy it. These women will also handle the paperwork.
▸ Lodge Sister:
A Lodge sister is just a typically ranked woman, who are usually gifted a small harp necklace to show their membership within the lodge. They have no special job within the sorority but are often given privileges people on the outside wouldn't. Exclusive gossip from their fellow sisters, and access to the d'Eluise country manor for meetings and events.
▸ The Fifi's.
Ironically named after the d'Eluise Matriarch's brain dead dog, the "Fifi's" are junior members of the sorority. They are often made to partake in initiations and games to gain admittance to the heart of the Lodge. Everyone has to start somewhere.

▸ Lady of Events:
The Lady of Events is the event planner of the sorority. She approves and declines any events the sister's would wish to be hosted by the Cassiopeia's, as well as deciding to host any sort of event on behalf of the Cassiopeia's. She usually has a small committee of women to help her plan.
▸ Lodge Guard:
The guard is the only ranking of the sorority able to be held by a male. He is entrusted with keeping the lodge and it's sisters safe, to make sure no harm will come to them. He is often granted two or three other compatriots to help him in his day to day tasks.
▸ Lodge Treasurer:
The title itself is quite explanatory. A trusted individual of the Lodge Matriarch will be given the task to take care of the sorority's money and investments.

"By the spirit, I [Your name] pledge to follow the principles set in place by my Lodge Matriarch. To conduct myself with elegance, grace and loyalty toward my sisters. Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of the ages, distilled into a single word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it nor taste it. But you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to celebrate your achievements. For the Harp's of Cassiopeia, may we never fall.
