I. Identity
Institutional identity
Order of XII is a Church within the broader Vampyrism paradigm, with its own doctrine and religious practice.
The Order’s practice is sustained through study, creative work, the preservation of its teachings, and the pursuit of enlightenment.
II. Foundation
Why the Order was founded
Order of XII was founded to give this Vampyric path an enduring form: a Church to steward its doctrine and a House to embody its first community. The Church and House are distinct in origin, joined in purpose: to establish a lasting tradition of sovereignty, transmutation, and immortality.
III. Stewardship
The Council
The Council is the Church’s governing and stewardship body. It safeguards continuity, stewards doctrine, and guides the institution’s development.

Houses within the Order
Houses organize shared practice, study, and cultural work within the Order.
House of Lazari is the founding House. Other Houses may be formed within this structure.
V. Participation
Participation in the Church
Participation is intentional and voluntary, whether through Vampyric practice, artistic and cultural contribution, philosophical inquiry, or institutional collaboration.
