The Sanguis Divus Akin (SDA), is the ruling clan of the city of Adphat Teloch, and is comprised of a number of different families. These families include the Malefice/Vitiosus lineage, as well as the Kale/Kull lineage (Links to descriptions of each of these families can be found under the "Clans and Families" section). Those descendants of each of these bloodlines are born into the clan of the SDA, as well as into it’s hierarchy. Whether or not those individuals acknowledge their membership is up to them, and once they reach adulthood they are given the opportunity to retain their membership.
