Ennia

"A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions."
Ennia is a clan foreign to the shinobi nations, with its current patriarch, Fulvius Ennia Raimei, being the first leader born on the island. They trace their ancestry to the original rulers of a distant island with a distinctly different culture; hence the name Ennia.
For the longest time, Ennia had one major bloodline that took a third name, Fulminatus, to denote their heritage. Following the death of the clan's patriarch, Fulvius inherited the position. Reforms were enacted; hoping to integrate the clan into the local culture, House Fulminatus was changed to House Raimei. In conjunction with the renaming, minor families scattered throughout the island were given the right to form houses. Since then, Ennia has welcomed many new houses into its ranks.
Houses
Houses provide an internal identity for each clan member. Besides being of Ennia, members may join a house that contains their immediate family, rather than one clan with many distant relatives. Each House has its own patriarch or matriarch depending on the current head of the house. Members may choose to not apply for a house, however, this disqualifies them from inheriting any titles or possessions as well as joining a House Guard.

Elder System
Elders are appointed by the Clan Patriarch as a quasi-governing body. The clan does not impose laws upon its subjects, however, it can act as a third party court system for clan members. Clan Elders also vote for the next Clan Patriarch when the current one dies. It is tradition to appoint the oldest son of the previous patriarch, however, throughout history, they have sometimes defied tradition. House Elders do not vote who a certain House will go to next, however, they are moderators in regards to House activity.
