House of the Floating Reed (group)
One of the clans of the Elothean nation.
The House of the Floating Reed is as flexible as a green reed; anyone may join, and its members are so hodge-podge that there is no definite norm for appearance. The leader is always a pair; one male, one female. Entrance is a flat fee. Disloyalty does not count for expulsion; rather, the first joint of the member's right pinky is removed. This practice continues for each charge of disloyalty until the Eloth has no more fingers. When it reaches this point (which it never has), the member is formally kicked out of the House, never to be allowed in again. A common quote in the Eloth lands is, "Never trust a fingerless man".
