The Estate is a first-tier version of the Invictus. Such coteries exist either because there are not enough vampires in the community for the more elaborate feudal power structures of the Invictus to work, or because the vampires in question are too young to acquire the status they feel they deserve. The Estate is largely made up of scions of wealth and privilege who transform their Requiems into a never-ending game of status plays and one-upsmanship. The result is an incestuous social melodrama with a significant body count.
