	;Apostate Clan: Are clans that have renounced direc loyalty to their sponsoring Arch/Line. This does NOT automatically make them a Renegade clan. Nore does it automatically place them in the ACC (apostate clan coalition) faciton. They have to (and probably should) join that faction, but it's up to them. Going Apostate is simply declaring your clan is no longer directly loyal to a single blood line but is instead "loosely" under all blood lines, paying respect to, but not necessarily subject to the whole Arch Conclave. As such you are still participating in the legal system etc, and so long as you remain in good standing, you do not go renegade. IF, however, you are Anti-Arch rather than Global Arch, this may and probably will lead you into being "ALSO" a renegade clan or maybe even EoVS.		;Apostate Clan: Are clans that have renounced direc loyalty to their sponsoring Arch/Line.

		+	;Apostle: In the Progeny role-playing system, an Apostle serves as the trusted right hand and chief advisor to a Diabolic, the system administrator who holds ultimate authority over Progeny’s operations and lore. Much like the Hand of the King in Game of Thrones, the Apostle is a pivotal figure, second only to the Diabolic in influence and responsibility. They act as a key enforcer, confidant, and executor of the Diabolic’s will, managing critical tasks such as overseeing a guild, coordinating role-play events, or upholding the rules of the vampire community. The Apostle wields significant power, often speaking with the Diabolic’s authority, but their role is defined by loyalty and service, ensuring Progeny's dark legacy endures.
