Archived-House Papuza
About the Family
House Papuza is a ragtag group of misfits, outcasts and degenerates. Mainly formed of Nosferatu, they do not close their door to any clan who are excluded
Members of this house are either embraced into it, or find their way to it when they are rejected by their own sire's house or lineage. They are the worst or the worst, the most vile looking and strange, but here among their own thet find a fellowship of belonging and unity.
The original founder of the House is reputed to be an elder Nosferatu, possibly of Romani stock who was embraced in Wallacia some time in the 16th Century. It is said that this Kindred was vile beyond comparrison, and was rejected by many of her own clan. Wandering the Baltic areas, she gathered to her other individuals similarily rejected from clan or covenant.
Kindred who in their mortal lives who were considered ritually unclean or "mahrime"; Executioners, skinners, grave-diggers, shepherds, barber-surgeons, millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, latrine-cleaners, and bailiffs flocked to the House for acceptance among others of thier "disreputable" kind.
It is rumoured that Papuza was a member of the Ordo Dracul but as time has passed, and the founder has disappeared none can confirm this. What is known was that Papuza found refuge in Australia some time in the late 19th Century, but none have heard from her since then.
The house sigil is a three headed dragon. Balaur in the Romani Mythology was a dragon who represented a great evil that had to be defeated. In Wallacia, it was believed that the saliva of a Balaur could produce a precious gem. Hence papuza adopted the symbol for her house, a bunch of disreputable kindred who, if you looked beneath the surface were intelligent, inspiring and talented.
