The Great Houses and Clans of The Palman Imperium

The Palman Imperium, its capital is of Soukara, its military center known as Kyouringakure Which is translated roughly into "The Village hidden in the Apricot grove' it is ruled by the Kokorokage which roughly translates into 'Mind Shadow', Currently the Kokorokage is the Jorian Snow, the Second after taking over from his father.

Kyourin has Many Interesting clans who have taken up residence within the country's border,

Some have Kekkei genkai bloodlines and are listed below

Some characters might have hidden bloodlines that only manifest when something triggers them, Noble houses will usually seek them out and attempt to integrate them into their structure, on the off chance that offspring will have the powers of the house and the new member, or a new gift entirely from the combination of genes.

Clans are Created by Player characters who have been granted noble status and lead their clan, clan members are other players who have chosen to create a character from that bloodline

In the past Two or three clans would make alliances, eventually those alliances led to intermarrying and special abilities would appear on occasion from mixing bloodlines, the result would be that they purposefully gathered together and begin the slow process of merging their bloodlines, the results being the Great Houses that rule the nation.

Joining a Noble House

Noble houses do not compose a single faction; rather, each major (and minor) noble house is a faction in its own right. A character pledges allegiance to, and joins, a particular noble house. Beings who live on a planet or in a sector owned or run by a noble house are generally considered commoners in the service of that noble house. Those who work for the various organizations and corporations owned by a noble house are also frequently under their protection, and are likewise

expected to show a certain amount of loyalty. That does not make them members of the noble house, however, or even imply that they are sympathetic to the house.

Actually joining a noble house is far more complicated than simply being a good servant. Nobles look for someone with leadership and social skills to add to their ranks. They do not simply grant titles to great workers, either; rather, they seek out those who can add something unique and beneficial to the house’s reputation, only inviting them into the fold when these special qualities have been identified. A noble house favors men and women of high standing, elegant looks, wit, and charm.

Being granted a title and any sort of power is something of a rarity, but those who have achieved such a position have definitely earned it by showing dedication to the ideals held by the rest of the noble house.

Leaving a Noble House

Like a crime family, a noble house is not to be abandoned lightly. Though it is possible to leave a noble house on good terms, often nobles take offense at what they see as a slight and mark the person leaving as an enemy or a traitor.

Leaving on good terms usually means resigning and yielding any position or title to a designated successor. This can be due to retirement, to accepting a high-ranking position outside the house

(such as head of a corporation or directorship), or to a simple desire to escape the politics.

Leaving a noble house in this way reduces a character’s Loyalty to half its previous level (rounded down).

Leaving on bad terms is another matter entirely. Deserting a noble house is risky, as its members hold grudges and have the resources available to catch and bring back deserters. Noble houses can afford to post exorbitant bounties on the heads of former members, and sometimes the bounty is as good as a death warrant. Leaving a noble house this way results in the loss of all noble Loyalty.

Role of the Great Houses

The noble families who rule the Great Houses each bear the responsibility of ruling one or more Holdings. In return for their noble titles and holdings, the Great Houses owe fealty to the

Lord(or lady) and homage to the throne, paid in the currency of monetary tithes and military conscripts.
