Houses

There are thirteen great noble houses that rule over the thirteen kingdoms within Ieria. These houses and the royal families within them all hold equal and immense power. They function independently for the most part, aside from occasional alliances during war times.The political relationships between houses are vitally important, as each house (and kingdom) rules over a certain industry, and imports and exports rely solely on the relationships between the houses. Should one kingdom condemn another, the delicate social and financial structures within could suffer greatly.

(Note: while each kingdom has its industrial specialties, it is still common for each kingdom to have workers from other industries. For instance, all of the kingdoms have farmers even if agriculture isn't their primary export. However, if the head house of agriculture were to condemn a kingdom, their agricultural industry would suffer immensely, as farmers would be unable to obtain their needed supplies, and the people would begin to starve.)
