The House System

A tiered house system is prevalent throughout the continent of Aerdland. Though economic power is a large factor in determining a house’s worth, it’s ancestry is also of particular importance. Great Houses, Noble Houses, and Minor Houses are the three general categories used by the nobility in determining ranking. Knightly Houses are those of knights who have been raised to lords of their own House.
