Welcome Pilgrim to House Daos
Biography and History
House Daos was founded in 1993. The majority of House members live in the Barony of Three Mountains (Portland, Or). Our persona is that of group of missionaries who are part of a heretical off-shoot of the Catholic Church following medieval trade routes through Western Europe and the Middle East. While members are encouraged to participate in this persona, it is not required. Many members are active in the SCA and our members include heavy fighters, fencers, scribes, performers, artists and even royalty. Our house colors are black, purple and silver.
House Daos is also known as The Church of Daos. Daoish is the official "religion" of Daos although it’s actually just a parody of religion for entertainment purposes only. No one and nothing is worshiped and we neither discourage or promote religion.
To go with our Church persona, we also have an Inquisition. The purpose of the Daos Inquisition is to spread the light of Daos and convert the unwashed masses to Daoish and to entertain ourselves and the populace. To this end, many Daos have alternate “Cardinal” persona. Again, this is purely for entertainment purposes only.
