To inherit the Lordship of this house you must have sworn a magical oath of fealty to the Noble and Most Ancient House of Reymanté. If multiple children of the previous Lord fulfill this qualification then the members of the house who are in good standing vote, eliminating the lowest candidate until one of the children has over 50%.
