Subinfeudation refers to the feudal system used by Kindred to create Domains, and the privileges associated with them. Since the time before history was recorded, or even the eldest kindred can remember, Kindred have gathered in groups for mutual support, protection and companionship. Among these groups leaders have arisen. In time such leaders have claimed the right to command all who exist within their purview. This has inevitably lead to the creation of Domains. In times past, such domains could be vast and led to conflict and even outright war between competing vampire Princes. As human populations grew and threatened the masquerade (or made it more and more necessary) the ancient domains shrunk, usually to the confines of a single city or large town. | Subinfeudation refers to the feudal system used by Kindred to create Domains, and the privileges associated with them.

Landholders are Kindred who not only live within a Regent's Domain, but oversee all, or a portion, of it. This is an expansion of Feeding and Tenancy in that Landholders can be considered sub-Regents, holding Praxis over their territory, and being able to deny others Feeding and Tenancy. While a Landholder may have guests stay at their Haven or share their Herd, they cannot grant Tenancy or Feeding rights. | Landholders are Kindred who not only live within a Regent's Domain, but oversee all, or a portion, of it.
