Great Noble Houses

The eight Great Noble Houses are the eight most powerful houses in Odesha. They exercise immense authority and power over their vassals and territories and are answerable only to the King of Odesha.

The eight houses previously all ruled their regions independently has their own independent kingdoms, but over 3,000 years ago they were unified under a single rule.

Each Great Noble House has a large number of smaller noble houses serving it, most of whom in turn have smaller houses under them, extending all the way down to farmers and landed knights. Each Great Noble House rules over its territory and is responsible for collecting taxes and, in times of war, raising troops to fight for the king. Otherwise they are largely left to operate autonomously to simplify the bureaucracy and governance of the realm.
