Ancient Houses of Nezerati

In the inception of the First Era of Peace, a transformative period marked by the establishment of the Nezeratian Order, the families of distinguished generals and commanders who valiantly participated in the F.E.C. War against Meridoria underwent a significant metamorphosis. These families evolved into the esteemed Nezeratian Houses, with the most eminent among them attaining the status of Great Houses. Foremost among these noble lineages was the House of Eldeha, ascending to become the inaugural leaders of Nezerati, a pivotal chapter in the annals of Ancient Nezeratian history.

The narrative of the Houses unfolds as a multifaceted tapestry, a subject demanding meticulous study for a comprehensive comprehension of the intricate history and dynamics of the Ancient Nation of Nezerati. Following the catastrophic Destruction of Nezerati, the Houses assumed distinct national identities, each evolving into autonomous entities. The Islands of Meridor themselves underwent a renaming process (each Island's names influenced by the Houses controlled by it), underscoring the profound significance these Houses held in the cultural fabric of Ancient Nezerati.

For a deeper exploration of the ebb and flow of power among the Houses, one can delve into the comprehensive Timeline of Meridor or the Timeline of Nezerati. While these resources offer insights into the historical interplay of the Houses, they primarily focus on their initial evolution. To trace the continued history of these Houses as independent nations, one must turn to the page chronicling the History of the Modern Nezeratian Nations. On this current page, however, a meticulous account is provided, complete with a roster of the Houses and the Heads of the Houses, offering a glimpse into the enduring legacy of these venerable institutions.

## List of the Houses

A list of the Houses with their creation date, brief information, and Heads of each House can be found below. Note: The Houses are sorted in order of power, for example the Houses that became leaders of Nezerati through usurpation or lack of heirs (Ruler Houses) are listed first, and then the Great Houses that did not achieve royalty, and lastly the remaining, less prestigious Houses. By the Destruction of Nezerati, there had been 16 Houses in total.

The List is as follows:

* House of Eldeha (Great House, Ruler House): The House of Eldeha was founded in the Year of the Creation of Houses (F.E.P. 22) by General Amaradi Eldeha, who became the First Great Nezeratian Ruler in F.E.P. 24, and his House ruled for 207 years until Amaradi's great-great-great-grandson Frestri Eldeha the Cruel was overthrown by the Great Houses and replaced by the House of Questri in F.E.P. 231.
