Houses

On this page you can find a list of all known **Houses** in Phytor and The North.

## **House:**

A House is a family that rules a piece of land or a region. The head of the family is often the eldest man, he holds the title of lord. They rule their land from their 'seat'. Often times this is a castle, palace or city. Houses can be divided into three groups:

* Great House
* House
* Noble House

### Great House:

Great Houses are the most powerful Houses. These Houses have (often under the state) authority over a very large region. They have strong armies, are incredibly wealthy and often times have multiple noble houses that they rule over. An example is House Rosendel who have their seat in the city of Hemington.

### House:

Normal Houses are often pretty powerful, and rule over a large area of land. They also have noble houses that they rule over. However they themselves are often under the rule of a Great House. An example is House Monroe who have their seat in the village of Senville.

### Noble House:

Noble Houses (also known as: small Houses) are the less powerful houses. Often times they only rule over a small area and have their Seat in a small fortified keep or a manor. These houses are always under the rule of bigger Houses.

## Governmental Systems:

For a more in depth look at the different types of governing in Phytor, see: Governmental Systems.

#### **State of Phytor**

The State of Phytor is an alliance of many regions and houses who work together on economic, military en especcially political matters. The following regions are part of this alliance: The Cliffs, Highlands, Phinnellands, Midlands, Zarrock, Boogi and parts of the Great Mesa. All regions and their houses have to answer to the Lord of Houses or King of Phytor.

#### Independent region

There are two independent regions in Phytor, where a single Great House rules over all the other houses in the region. These two independent regions in Phytor are Xalvador and Acradam. The Cliffs and the Great Mesa have partial independence.

#### City-state

A City-state is a city together with the surrounding lands, often times governed by the elite. The only City-states in Phytor that still exist are Al Kazar, Philetarzia and Cata.
