<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To affirm that crest authority remains within enduring house structures rather than personal possession.<br />
<br />
== General Principle ==<br />
Crests are held by houses, not individuals.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
While individuals may display or speak for a crest, the right originates from the wilp or waap. <br />
The house preserves continuity across generations. <br />
Personal use exists within collective responsibility.<br />
<br />
== Authority ==<br />
Holding is maintained through:<br />
* [[Houses]]<br />
* [[Adaawk]]<br />
* [[Elders]]<br />
* [[Witnessed Practice]]<br />
<br />
== Implications ==<br />
Succession remains stable. <br />
Authority survives beyond any one person. <br />
Continuity protects legitimacy.<br />
<br />
== Limits ==<br />
Personal claim outside house recognition risks violation. <br />
Individuals cannot alienate or redefine a crest.<br />
<br />
== Cross-References ==<br />
* [[Crest Ownership Is Tied to House and Lineage]]<br />
* [[Individuals May Display Crests Through Lawful Standing]]<br />
* [[Use of a Crest Implies Acceptance of Obligation]]</div>Amusterer
