INDEX OF HOUSES


INTRODUCTION

The Hegemonic Department of Foreign Affairs under the authority of the Hegemonic Grand War Council has decreed that a list of the Galaxy's many different royal clans and families be compiled for the purposes of research and study by the Hegemony's many scholarchs and academic researchers. With the vastness of this grand galaxy, we believe it is key to collect as much information as we can to gain a better and brighter understanding of the many cultures and civilizations that exist within it.



HOUSE OF TALAMOR

Founding Year: 2525 CE (12,525 HE)
Leader(s): Autarch Eosses of Talamor
Number of Members: 66 (Confirmed)

House Talamor is an extremely powerful House and a key player within the affairs of multiple major nations across the Galaxy. Headed by the powerful and mysterious Autarch Eosses, the House currently is a founding player of the Hegemony and holds titles and influence on nearly every world of note and in many thousands of systems across the galaxy. The houses founding after uniting the Continent of Talamor on Murkstar propelled them into a period of significant growth and power projection, one that has yet to cease as of now.

HOUSE OF DREAMER

House Dreamer was according to various legends and religious texts founded by "Tifo Dreamer" who was the first king of the monsters and essentially established the foundation of modern House Dreamer and the Empire today. House Dreamer has a long history and the latest of their ancestors ruled over the monster Kingdom in the late 21st century known as "Toriel Dreamer" and "Asgore Dreamer" After their deaths at the hands of a human mage their son was placed as king of the monsters and a regency council was gathered to rule in his name until he was of age. By the 2090s "Astell Dreamer" or as he is known now as "Astell the Great" finally took his place as an absolute monarch and the Regency Council was disbanded, from there he would begin the Golden Age of expansion for the monster people rapidly expanding the nation throughout the latter years of the 22nd century, until the 24th and establishing the Empire of Ebbot as his legacy. His son "Taesll dreamer" or "Taesll the wise" maintained the Empire as it was and also rapidly expanded its industrial economic and Military capabilities more than ever before. His daughter "Katherine Dreamer" or "Katherine the Magnificent" was born in 2492 and ruled the Empire even today, she was alive before the rise of the hegemony. In her lifetime she has seen two demon riffs open up and was responsible for closing the first one and assisting with the second one. She expanded the Empire further in terms of hard and soft power, and with the rise of the Imperium continuing the Empire is mothballing into the superpower it didn't want to be but has to be


HOUSE OF PRIMOGLEON

Founding Year: 350 BCE (9,750 HE)
Leader(s): Cosmocratea Madorphela Primogleon (Ruling Branch), Primonaeus (Elder Lineage)
Number of Members: ~ 800,000 (Estimated)
Status: Ruling

The Primogleon dynasty first rose to significance in the 4th century BC when its founder, the Phoenician warlord Primogan, invaded the declining Neo-Mycenaean Empire and seized power over the territories of what is now modern-day Libya. Following the later collapse of the Neo-Mycenaean Empire in the Macedonian conquests, the Primogleons lived under a variety of foreign rulers such as the Ptolemies, the Romans, the Vandals, and the later Byzantines, but would eventually gain independence along with the other Crymenathean states at the turn of the 8th century AD. After defeating their last rivals, the House of Tretholeon, in 850 AD, the Primogleon dynasty would establish the Kingdom of the Orange Creek over the entirety of North Africa. In the modern age, the power of the Primogleons have been somewhat eclipsed by the rise of the Crymenathean Church, though some semblance of dynastic power has since returned following the Madrophelian Coup and the establishment of the Cosmocracy. Due to its massive size, the Primgoleons are treated more formally as a gens or aristocratic caste rather than a formal monarchical dynasty.


HOUSE OF LAFLEUR

Founding Year: 810 CE (10,810 HE)
Leader(s): Archduchess Ophelia LaFleur
Number of Members: 53
Status: Ruling

The House LaFleur can trace its founding to the marriage of Flor D'LaFleur and Starshine Dusk-Sparkle, both high ranking members of the Celestine court of the era, with Starshine Dusk being a member of the prestigious royal guard and Flor coming from a long line of royal gardeners. The marriage was strange at the time due to Starshine Dusk retaining his wife's last name. The house remained in relative obscurity in the Celestine court during the lifetime of Starshine Dusk and Flor, only coming to prominence in 900 AD after the death of Starshine's father, Moondancer Dusk-Sparkle, who was the 28th duke of Epping, an ancient Duchy formed by a distant relative to the Sparkle family of house Coutainé. Upon the death of Moondancer, Starshine's son Jason D'LaFleur appealed to then reigning Princess Celestia to permit the LaFleur family to take the title of Duke of Epping due to the ducal law mandating senior-male preference primogeniture. This title was granted via special charter, thus setting the LaFleur family as the dukes and duchesses of Epping for the next 701 years. By the 1600s the family had fallen into irrelevancy and would be relegated to the fur and cloth trade, making a name for themselves as the directors of the Equestrian Fur Guild. This would be their primary place until the 2609s, when Selano LaFleur was discovered to be an heir to the Equestrian throne, being placed in power in 2610. House LaFleur was briefly unseated from 2640 until 2665 when the throne was restored by Ophelia LaFleur where the family has continued to rule from since, holding numerous important positions across the Equestrian and Hegemonic terrritories including. Archduchess of Equestria, Governor of Hegemonic Jerusalem on Artemis, King of Ūr-Essa, Viceroy of Milkdromeda (Equestria), Representative to the Hegemonic Council (De Jure, but position usually held by appointed non-house member).

HOUSE OF HIDALGO

Founding Year: 2586 CE (12,586 HE)
Leader(s): King Quetzacoatl de Hildago "The Serpentine King"
Number of Members: ????
Status: Ruling

Formed during the Founding of 2586, the genetic experiments that created the first of the Bestiae that now inhabit Columbian Mexico, the serpents of House de Hidalgo took the mantle as the royal house of Mexico in the criminal-ridden chaos of Mexico at the time, their head Quetzalcoatl de Hidalgo ruling ever since. Though they do not partake in combat themselves, the rule of the de Hidalgo family has seen Mexico slingshot from a chaotic, failed state ruled by mafias and cartels into a stable and prosperous union state producing what many consider to be the best soldiers in the Columbian military. While they do not hold intergalactic power, or even much diplomatic say on their home planet of Earth, they are favored by the Columbian royal family and hold moderate influence in the Columbian government thanks to their military prowess and the military and economic value of their domain.


HOUSE OF ATREIDES

Founding Year: 400 BCE (9,600 HE)
Leader(s): Queen Irulan Atreides
Number of Members: 7 (Confirmed) | 11 (Including Descendants)
Status: Ruling

Founded as a separate branch by a prominent kitsune from Artemis, House Atreides has traditionally held dominion over Caladan and the surrounding system, which remains true to this day. Having adapted to the climate of the planet, they ruled rather liberally over an agrarian population, whom farmed in wetlands and produced some varieties of rices and other foods. Following the ascendancy of Guter Atreides to the title of Duke, the house would enjoy a period of increasing popularity in the Landsraad. Once a decree came from the Empress Miale, they would move to Arrakis, and from there the na-Duke Páll would fight against the Empress, leading to her overthrow. Now Emperor of Untecna, he would sire one child with a Fremen wife, Leto, and four more with a Roman, of whom Robert became na-Emperor. Robert ascended as the first human leader of Untecna upon the signing of a treaty with the Columbians, and would manage large success in thwarting efforts to undermine his regime, including taking land on Earth for the first time since the end of Bourbon rule in France, but he would fail in stopping the destruction of Arrakis, which eventually led to his overthrow when Archos was sacked. Following a period of Columbian occupation, Irulan would rise as the region's new leader, keeping a more moderate approach to some of her father's policies. The family has become much more human supremacist following Robert's reign, but remains in the service of Columbia, despite their resistance.

HOUSE OF HOHENZOLLERN-LAGOS

Founding Year: 1793 CE (11,793 HE)
Leader(s): Charlotte Hohenzollern-Lagos (Nigeria Branch), John Hohenzollern-Lagos (Kammerun Branch)
Number of Members: 6 (Confirmed)
Status: Ruling

The house of Hohenzollern-Lagos was founded after Herny of Prussia was crowned Emperor shortly after the Nigerian Revolution. The House would rule Nigeria from that date all the way through, to the modern day ruling through the darkest of Nigeria's darks and Nigerian golden ages. The House be completely uninterrupted in its rule for 900 years. Recently during the Orano-Nigerian War the house split in two between those supporting the legitimate monarch of Charlotte, and those who support John who had abdicated his right to rule but was nonetheless chosen by the Oranics to rule Kamerun.


HOUSE OF ZADANEV

Founding Year: 640 CE (10,640 HE)
Leader(s): Ex-Tsaritsa Katyusha Zadanevna & Tsaritsa Luna Zadanevna
Number of Members: 560
Status: Ruling

The House of Zadanev (Dom Zadanevykh) was originally a noble house of the Rus', founded in 640 CE by General Grigori Zadanev, one of the then-Kingdom of Hyperborea's finest military minds. The house remained aristocratic and closely tied to the Hyperborean Orthodox Church until the advent of the Time of Troubles in 763 CE, where the Hyperborean state fragmented into thousands of city-states vying for control over the shattered nation. Through an alliance and later personal union with Prekrasnaya, Tsar Ukhov, the first Zadanev monarch, was able to gain power in 774 CE and establish the Dom Zadanevykh as the sole Imperial Family of the First Hyperborean Federation. For nearly the next two millennia, the Zadanev dynasty maintained its autocratic, totalitarian grip on power, never succumbing to the revolutions and unrest that ravaged the state. However, the accession of Tsaritsa Katyusha « Groznyy » to the throne in 2572 CE would mark the beginning of the end for the Zadanev grip on totalitarian power, as her despotic and brutal rule would eventually result in her ousting and subsequent abdication, and a revolution in 2695 CE that brought democratic rule to Hyperborea, which installed the Zadanev family as mere figureheads to the country before the monarchy's eventual abolishment and outlawing thanks to the Cosmocratic Accession in 2722 CE. The House of Zadanev and most of its members fled to the newly independent Prekrasnaya, where they rule over what is essentially a Hyperborean rump state.

HOUSE OF SWEFT

Founding Year: 2250 CE (12,250 HE)
Leader(s): Ieoni Sweft
Number of Members: 7
Status: Non-Ruling

The house of Sweft was originally the leading party of the Monarchist state of the Missiro Emeré, Missourian Empire in English. They ruled since 2250 after the revolution out of the Nova Company from the then wooloosian, now columbian, overlords. They had ruled up until the counter-coup of Peyton Sweft who had Coup’d the previous ruler Ieoni. After the counter coup, they had been exiled from the nation and held residency in Untecna until an incident happened which resulted in Ieoni and her two children fleeing to Ebbot, where they now reside.


HOUSES OF UNKNOWN STATUS

Read factbook

Doing something interesting here, its somewhat similar to the Casablanca Index from Orange Creek but instead of measuring the strength of nation states it measures the power and influence of Imperial/Royal/Ruling Families and Clans across the Galaxy. Of course, as it is an IC document crafted by the Hegemonic Government there will be some biases but overall I want to keep this thing relatively neutral considering ICly speaking it is for research and study, not for gloating or anything of that nature (though we all know that will be the case for some here).

Here are the definitions for the different categories I included within this factbook:

Houses of Significance: These are the Galaxy's most powerful families & clans, ruling over many worlds or territories and holding large levels of influence and sway in galactic politics in general. These families tend to be especially skilled at military and/or diplomacy and have managed to hold onto their strength for a long period of time.

Houses of Importance: These families are growing in their power though they don't yet have the power and influence that the Houses of Significance might enjoy. These families typically are very good at either military and/or diplomatic affairs and hold a decent amount of territory or worlds.

Houses of Note: These are your average Houses. They might be experts at military affairs or diplomatic endeavors, they may have control over large amounts of systems or territories, but they are not considered a heavyweight political unit for one reason or another which hampers them in the rankings.

Houses of Lacking: These Houses are unique because they are really not good at anything and yet still manage to hold on without becoming the Galaxy's punching bag. They might have some skill in military or diplomatic affairs and from time to time a member of one of these houses manages to buck the trend some, but overall these houses have proven to have changed little throughout history and have yet to do anything really worth looking at.

Houses of Decay: These are dying houses, the nightmare category for anyone seeking the admiration of their royal peers. These houses are very clearly on their way out or are galactic laughing stocks, holding little to no authority outside of their territory and usually very disliked among other houses. These houses are also unique in the fact that despite them being galactic punching bags they haven't died just yet, only time will tell.

Houses of Unknown Status: This acts as a Misc. category for Houses that I really don't know where to put them in just yet, or for houses that are meant to be shrouded in some kind of extreme mystery. Little is known about these houses and currently, the jury is still out on whether or not we should be laughing at them or sh*tting ourselves whenever they take a single step. We shall see!

if anyone wishes to Speak with me via RMB, TG, or DM about their major houses (ruling or just important in your country) please feel free to do so!

All I mainly need are:

- House Name
- Founding Year
- House Leadership (Head Individual/Individuals)
- Approximate Membership
- Short History (Like a paragraph or so)

My imperial house - the Dom Zadanevykh, House of Zadanev - is dead.

Considering they ruled for 2000 years before the end of the monarchy with absolute power over a fairly large nation, they would have been at least a House of Importance, but ever since the Patriotic Revolution and later the Cosmocratic accession they've been nothing but a remnant of their former power, relegated to a distant corner of the galaxy in a nation not their own.

Is Dom Zadanevykh the last leader of the house or is that just the name of it in your language?

Republic of Callaxium wrote:Is Dom Zadanevykh the last leader of the house or is that just the name of it in your language?

That's just the name in my language. I'll make a detailed overview, give me a bit.

Also, the house is in a weird position where the head of the family isn't the ruler of the country, the second-in-command is. That's because Ex-Tsaritsa Katyusha Zadanevna is the current head of the family, and she abdicated but was never struck from the family tree nor gave up her position as the head of the family. The current leader of Prekrasnaya, the country, is Tsaritsa Luna Zadanevna, her younger sister.

___________________________

The White Palace - Within the Void

    | Rain would fill the outside, as it hit the window in deathly silence, only broken by the crackling and popping of fire wood from the fireplace within the room, This place felt Familar, Like home, Like a more noble and Pristine Time.

    It felt strange for this place to be under the endless Swirling Miasma sky of the Void, Even more so with the endless rain and landscape that stretched onwards for eternity.

    Someone would be inside, Tending to the flame stoking it so that it may endure for another time, A figure of indeterminate shape and size, who's body was a pure white only broken by a ritualistic pattern of black runic symbols.. it floated there in silence, Thinking aloud to itself. |

      | " How long has it been, Since I last took her here with me... I told her it wasn't a good idea, But Nova you defiant one, You always tried to make a name for yourself to define yourself.. now look at you... My Nova.. " |

    | The Flames would reform themselves as the figure moved back in silence, A woman, Quentian in shape and nature outlined in flames, A bold emotionless expression upon the face of the flames, even as the figure reached out to fan the face of flames back into the fireplace |

      | " I guess you were right, Things ended up like this weren't you?, I told you to prevent this, All you needed to do was reign in that one Agency.. now look what they've done, they've made a mess.. and now I'm just a shell . " |

    | The flames would begin to regress and dim, The Palace now grew darker as it continued to stand there infront of the dwindling fire. All it could now do was begin to move back as it pulled something from the walls, A picture.

    A memory which seemed to move and react, two figures moving, their mouths speaking yet unable to be heard until one name was heard, a Simple name. |

      | "Isa" |

An Ancient Memory has woken, The Void Stirs.. the time draws Near.. Will you answer the call?

The House would rule Nigeria from that date all the way through, to the modern day ruling through the darkest of Nigeria's darks and Nigerian golden ages. The House be completely uninterrupted in its rule for 900 years. Recently during the Orano-Nigerian War the house split in two between those supporting the legitimate monarch of Charlotte, and those who support John who had abdicated his right to rule but was nonetheless chosen by the Oranics to rule Kamerun.


HOUSE OF ZADANEV

Founding Year: 640 CE (10,640 HE)
Leader(s): Ex-Tsaritsa Katyusha Zadanevna & Tsaritsa Luna Zadanevna
Number of Members: 560
Status: Ruling

The House of Zadanev (Dom Zadanevykh) was originally a noble house of the Rus', founded in 640 CE by General Grigori Zadanev, one of the then-Kingdom of Hyperborea's finest military minds. The house remained aristocratic and closely tied to the Hyperborean Orthodox Church until the advent of the Time of Troubles in 763 CE, where the Hyperborean state fragmented into thousands of city-states vying for control over the shattered nation. Through an alliance and later personal union with Prekrasnaya, Tsar Ukhov, the first Zadanev monarch, was able to gain power in 774 CE and establish the Dom Zadanevykh as the sole Imperial Family of the First Hyperborean Federation. For nearly the next two millennia, the Zadanev dynasty maintained its autocratic, totalitarian grip on power, never succumbing to the revolutions and unrest that ravaged the state. However, the accession of Tsaritsa Katyusha « Groznyy » to the throne in 2572 CE would mark the beginning of the end for the Zadanev grip on totalitarian power, as her despotic and brutal rule would eventually result in her ousting and subsequent abdication, and a revolution in 2695 CE that brought democratic rule to Hyperborea, which installed the Zadanev family as mere figureheads to the country before the monarchy's eventual abolishment and outlawing thanks to the Cosmocratic Accession in 2722 CE. The House of Zadanev and most of its members fled to the newly independent Prekrasnaya, where they rule over what is essentially a Hyperborean rump state.

HOUSE OF SWEFT

Founding Year: 2250 CE (12,250 HE)
Leader(s): Ieoni Sweft
Number of Members: 7
Status: Non-Ruling

The house of Sweft was originally the leading party of the Monarchist state of the Missiro Emeré, Missourian Empire in English. They ruled since 2250 after the revolution out of the Nova Company from the then wooloosian, now columbian, overlords. They had ruled up until the counter-coup of Peyton Sweft who had Coup’d the previous ruler Ieoni. After the counter coup, they had been exiled from the nation and held residency in Untecna until an incident happened which resulted in Ieoni and her two children fleeing to Ebbot, where they now reside.


HOUSES OF UNKNOWN STATUS

Read factbook

Doing something interesting here, its somewhat similar to the Casablanca Index from [nation]Orange Creek[nation] but instead of measuring the strength of nation states it measures the power and influence of Imperial/Royal/Ruling Families and Clans across the Galaxy. Of course, as it is an IC document crafted by the Hegemonic Government there will be some biases but overall I want to keep this thing relatively neutral considering ICly speaking it is for research and study, not for gloating or anything of that nature (though we all know that will be the case for some here).

Here are the definitions for the different categories I included within this factbook:

Houses of Significance: These are the Galaxy's most powerful families & clans, ruling over many worlds or territories and holding large levels of influence and sway in galactic politics in general. These families tend to be especially skilled at military and/or diplomacy and have managed to hold onto their strength for a long period of time.

Houses of Importance: These families are growing in their power though they don't yet have the power and influence that the Houses of Significance might enjoy. These families typically are very good at either military and/or diplomatic affairs and hold a decent amount of territory or worlds.

Houses of Note: These are your average Houses. They might be experts at military affairs or diplomatic endeavors, they may have control over large amounts of systems or territories, but they are not considered a heavyweight political unit for one reason or another which hampers them in the rankings.

Houses of Lacking: These Houses are unique because they are really not good at anything and yet still manage to hold on without becoming the Galaxy's punching bag. They might have some skill in military or diplomatic affairs and from time to time a member of one of these houses manages to buck the trend some, but overall these houses have proven to have changed little throughout history and have yet to do anything really worth looking at.

Houses of Decay: These are dying houses, the nightmare category for anyone seeking the admiration of their royal peers. These houses are very clearly on their way out or are galactic laughing stocks, holding little to no authority outside of their territory and usually very disliked among other houses. These houses are also unique in the fact that despite them being galactic punching bags they haven't died just yet, only time will tell.

Houses of Unknown Status: This acts as a Misc. category for Houses that I really don't know where to put them in just yet, or for houses that are meant to be shrouded in some kind of extreme mystery. Little is known about these houses and currently, the jury is still out on whether or not we should be laughing at them or sh*tting ourselves whenever they take a single step. We shall see!

if anyone wishes to Speak with me via RMB, TG, or DM about their major houses (ruling or just important in your country) please feel free to do so!

All I mainly need are:

- House Name
- Founding Year
- House Leadership (Head Individual/Individuals)
- Approximate Membership
- Short History (Like a paragraph or so)

House Name: House Atreides

Founding Year:

    Untecna, Traditional: 9871
    Galactic: c. 400 BCE

House Leadership:

    Head: Irulan Atreides

Approximate Membership: 7-11

7 is the total number of those who have the surname, or whom married into the house; 11 includes Ieoni's children, Chani, and Leto.

Short History: Founded as a separate branch by a prominent kitsune from Artemis, House Atreides has traditionally held dominion over Caladan and the surrounding system, which remains true to this day. Having adapted to the climate of the planet, they ruled rather liberally over an agrarian population, whom farmed in wetlands and produced some varieties of rices and other foods. Following the ascendancy of Guter Atreides to the title of Duke, the house would enjoy a period of increasing popularity in the Landsraad. Once a decree came from the Empress Miale, they would move to Arrakis, and from there the na-Duke Páll would fight against the Empress, leading to her overthrow. Now Emperor of Untecna, he would sire one child with a Fremen wife, Leto, and four more with a Roman, of whom Robert became na-Emperor. Robert ascended as the first human leader of Untecna upon the signing of a treaty with the Columbians, and would manage large success in thwarting efforts to undermine his regime, including taking land on Earth for the first time since the end of Bourbon rule in France, but he would fail in stopping the destruction of Arrakis, which eventually led to his overthrow when Archos was sacked. Following a period of Columbian occupation, Irulan would rise as the region's new leader, keeping a more moderate approach to some of her father's policies. The family has become much more human supremacist following Robert's reign, but remains in the service of Columbia, despite their resistance.

Orange Creek

Should I keep my leader as a dictator, or should I have him elected as some form of a monarch? Just a regular dictatorship is kinda... iffy.
