Frontacian Houses

Frontacian Houses are similiar in structure to Roman and Greek households. There are two types of houses: Lesser and Great. The Great Houses are the ruling ones, and are very few in number. They are the most powerful and the wealthiest families in Frontacian society and each of these Houses holds a seat on the Great Council that currently governs Sorcerer's Isle, although each territory is individually owned and operated by the respective Great House.

Lesser Houses are those Houses that have pledged themselves to a Great Houses, working towards its prosperity. Lesser Houses think of themselves as distant relatives toward the Great House they serve under and in some cases there is a distant blood relation between the two Houses, usually by marriage. While not as powerful as the Great Houses, that is not to say that they are insignificant. Some Lesser Houses are quite influencial in the regions they control under their Great House.
