Just a word of caution from an outsider... be very careful with running a player-governed group which is intended to be representative of a group which is already governed by NPCs. Since House Haillenarte is a part of the canon setting, there are undoubtedly going to be players who will make claim that their character is a part of that house or has had dealings with that house as a part of their backstory or ongoing plot activities, and you won't be able to tell them they can't do that since it's ultimately an NPC led organization which exists as a part of the overall setting for all players.

This also means that, if done well, you're bound by only what has been written in the canon for the house, and have no means of being able to adjust/expand that house's influence, territory, etc, or write up any policies for the house which aren't supportable by the words or deeds of NPCs in that house, since it opens the door to conflict between players if someone says "But my take on House Haillenarte is that they'd do X" and meanwhile you've been claiming they're like Y.

It's a timeless problem - I saw it constantly in SWTOR with players who were trying to play the role of members of the Jedi Council, for example. There were a lot of situations where they would "decide" as a member of the Council how a thing was going to be, but then other players in the community reply, "But wait, we don't agree as players that you have the right as another player to tell us what to do, and we feel like the things you're claiming as a part of the Jedi Council aren't reasonable given our interpretation of what the Council is like and what they would or would not do."

It's reason #1 why original concepts are always best - nobody can debate whether your own original concept idea is correct to canon or not, because it's non-canon to begin with. :3

This player has a sense of humor. If the content of the post suggests otherwise, please err on the side of amusement and friendship, because that's almost certainly the intent. We're all on the same team: Team Roleplayer! Have a smile, have a chuckle, and have a slice of pie. Isn't pie great?
