Fraternity / Lodge:  An organization comprised of members bound together through covenants of allegiance. Initiation is done via a series of rites, rituals and commitments validated though specific actions. Proof of initiation, bonding and/or allegiance may be evidenced through particular bonding rites (blood, tattoo etc) or greeting rituals (hand shakes, gestures etc) The bond would be strong enough drive members to come to the aid of one or many members, or act in a protective manner for the protection of the group. Membership may or may not be exclusive relative to species and class. Greetings and interactions with other members and non-members would include specific rituals and rites to confirm allegiances and establish the trust with a given member or kindred individual.
