House Vorysadora
Structure
1) Count Razak Vorysadora (titular head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to High Lord or High Lady as appropriate)
2) Count or Countess (spouse/partner of titular head of house, usually non-inheriting but possessing specific responsibilities and authorities in support of the head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to High Lord or High Lady as appropriate)
Razak: Get married? Boyo, I don't have time for that kind of thing.
Rico: As you say, sir.
Goss: That's what a baba is for, sir.
Paperboy: Uh, no. A baba is who you hire once you know who you want to, uhm, offer the position to. Researching the field for candidates is, um, I think most of the High Vor rely on either a Bene Gesserit Sister or maybe a Mentat for those services.
Razak: Let the Catholics plan our future? Gregor would dock my pay! No. Not happening. This subject is closed. All personnel below the rank of Lieutenant best find some work to be doing.
3) Lord Loren Vorysadora (officially designated Heir of titular head, often serves as Count's Voice either in regional administration or in the Council of Counts while the titular head is occupied elsewhere. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count and seconded to High Lord or High Lady as appropriate)
4) other members of Vor House, related or married in or adopted, swearing fealty to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count
5) senior Armsmen, especially those who have been Armsmen of this particular House for 20+ standard years (which won't apply until 12751), swearing fealty to a specific member of the House who in turn swears fealty in an unbroken chain up to Emperor Gregor Vortapani
Got that? Good.
Note that this new Vor House is not listing themselves as part of a Great House. They'll answer to Emperor Gregor (usually with no comment beyond "So, it's Datunda, is it?") and their senior officers as assigned. Everyone else can, with respect, go hang.
