 The Dark Daughters and Sons is the House of Night’s premier fledgling organization. Its members are the best and brightest of our school and set the standard for the other fledglings. The Leader of the Dark Daughters is chosen because Nyx has gifted her with extraordinary powers. This young woman is considered a High Priestess in Training and has the added responsibility of both performing monthly rituals dedicated to Nyx and leading the fledgling members in the rituals. The Leader of the Dark Daughters is mentored by the High Priestess of the House of Night, who takes special interest in her development. Membership in the Dark Daughters and Sons is by exclusive invitation only. The symbol for the Dark Daughters is the traditional symbol for the Triple Goddess: two crescent moons back-to-back against a full moon. The Leader of the Dark Daughters wears a silver pendant with the symbol, a full moon encrusted with garnets.

Rituals:
Introduction, Rituals are the heartbeat of vampyre society. They are how we exalt Nyx. They are also how we mark many aspects of our lives. Vampyre society has major rituals, which include but are not limited to moon phases, changes of season, group cleansings and protections, the death of a familiar, the breaking of an imprint, the celebration of Samhain, Yule, Beltane, and Eostre.
Though rituals differ according to the talents, preferences, and needs of each individual High Priestess, there are some aspects of Ritual that do not change. There is always a circle cast before Ritual commences.
When casting the circle, the high Priestess will always begin in the east and call air to her. She will then move clock wise, or deosil, around the circle, pausing in the south to call fire, west to call water, north for earthm and finally moving to the middle to call spirit to complete the circle.
Candles are usually lit in each of the five directions as the elements are called. The following colors are used for the candles: Air--Yellow, Fire--Red, Water-- Blue, Earth-- Green, and Spirit-- Purple.
When the ritual is completed, it is customary for the High Priestess to close the circle by thanking each of the elements in turn as she moves counter clockwise around the circle, ending where she began in the east with the element air. It is important to remember to maintain a focused mind and positive thoughts during ritual, and to ground yourself with food, drink, and relaxation after ritual. Note that blood is often used in ritual, but rarely for fledglings younger then sixth former.
