• House Gerth A house of dukes that has inherited rule over the Empire's Ministry of the Exterior. Diplomacy, foreign relations, and relations between various provinces and the capital fall under its purview. It worked hard to secure the ceasefires that ended both the Brigid and Dagda campaigns.
  House Gerth (continued) Though complicit in the Insurrection, it remains distant from associated houses.
• House Arundel Formerly a minor noble house of the Empire. As head of the house, when Volkhard's younger sister became betrothed to Emperor Ionius IX, Volkhard was granted the title of Lord Arundel.
  House Arundel (continued) Having worked closely with House Aegir, House Arundel is seen as one of the chief instigators of the Insurrection of the Seven.
• House Hrym A house of Imperial viscounts. Resisting Emperor Ionius IX's policy of power centralization, it set out to join the Alliance and secure independence from the Empire, but was unable to overcome the Imperial army's intervention.
  House Hrym (continued) In the aftermath, the house's main genetic line was wiped out. Its current head of house is an adoptee.
• House Nuvelle A house of Imperial viscounts with territory on the western coast of the Empire, centered around its namesake harbor city of Nuvelle. The house flourished thanks to commerce with Dagda, Albinea, Brigid, and other territories.
  House Nuvelle (continued) Even still, it fell to ruin in 1175 after permitting the combined invading forces of the Dagda and Brigid armies to make landfall.
• House Ochs A house of Imperial barons. Its territory occupies the northern half of the western peninsula known as Fódlan's Fangs. The head of the house was lost to the Dagda and Brigid War.
• House Bartels A house of Imperial barons. Highly ambitious, it sought out and acquired several Crests for its bloodline. In 1176, many members, including the head of the house, died under unexplained circumstances.
  House Bartels (continued) The guilt of this tragedy was attributed to the heir, Emile. As his whereabouts are unknown, leadership of the house fell to a distant relative.
