| Brotherhoods are larger versions of the honorable union, and consequently far rarer in their appearance. Brotherhoods consists almost entirely of minor patriarchs who individually would be of inconsequential note. These unions exists for much the same reason honorable unions do, though they are unique in that due to the circumstances of Mikaean geopolitics, several patriarchs have banded together to save themselves and their daughters from extermination in the face of the far larger and more populous patrimonies which surround them. As patriarchs cannot stand to interact with one another due to biological needs requiring the monopolization of resources for their progeny, the formation of a brotherhood is a sight to behold as dozens of patriarchs overcome their instinctive urges to fight one another for dominance, to overcome a far greater threat posed to their families. Within a brotherhood, the government consists of a ruling body comprised of all patriarchs within the union with equal power and influence, and all with a vote and a veto. Below them is a legislative body consisting of equal representation for all households involved in the brotherhood. The upper house of fathers is responsible for making the executive decisions for the union, whereas the lower house is responsible for proposing laws and regulations as determined by need to the upper house.
