Phenadan Houses
Houses refer to the noble families that control province territories in the Phenada Empire. Houses do not have absolute power over these cuts of land, as they are subject to the will of the lower class and must coexist with any influential guilds. However, members of Houses get preferential treatment in various institutions and can more easily sway opinions of the Sovereign House.
Noble families in Phenada are primarily Fey Eladrin, Elven, or some combination of both in lineage.
