Families

The Sublime Empire has many, many families of note, most of which are nobility.

vis Ahn os Thauma
The ruling ducal house of Thaum.

vis Bintac
The ruling house of the county of Bintac.

Karpe
The ruling house of the county of Ampour.

Antileos
Ruling house of the Troyce & Triskarmis twin districts.

Dayard
Ruling house of the Dyna district. Claims to be the oldest of the baron houses in the city, contested by house vis Steiram.

Fernos
Ruling house of the Jovi district, which was named after the first baron of Fernos. It is the youngest of the baron houses in the city. The current baron, Hertol, is old and incapable, leaving most of the work to his granddaughter Linn.

Ione-Lodriboerg
Ruling house of the Lodriboerg district, named after the ancient Lodri castle. Long ago, the barons took the name as their family name, and later merged with another house, Ione.

Lacarde
Ruling house of the Elysos district. The reason and time as to when the house received its baronic title is unclear, but believed to have been in the 400's.

vis Steiram
Ruling house of the Eurol district. Claims to be the oldest of the baron houses in the city, contested by house Dayard. Originates from the former village of Steiram, long gone but was once located somewhere within the city limits.

Meric
A minor aristrocratic/noble house, the Meric family do not hold land as they are often the leaders of the Ducal City Guard - to prevent skewed politics and interests, the Lord Captain of the city guard may not own any major pieces of land, nor may the family do so either.

vis Ahn
Nowadays rather obscure, but once a well-known house, the main line of the vis Ahn dynasty went extinct hundreds of years ago. In its place are three branch dynasties, one of which rules in Thaum.
