Sarabands

Overview

A Saraband is a grouping of Lyra caravans that share the same ancestry and a common set of customs. These Sarabands are nine in number.

Organization

Each Lyra procession, from the most modest to the most imposing, is necessarily part of a Saraband. Each Saraband has a Matriarch at their helm, an elder who ensures the respect of traditions and the memory of the Lyra Faction.

Leadership

These Matriarchs constitute The Nine Matriarchs, the supreme authority among the Lyra, as each represents an exclusive interlocutor for the Nine Sisters, the Eidolons who serve as their tutelary patrons. However, they rarely use this preeminence, preferring instead to watch over their procession like a shepherd over his flock.
