Noble House

The territory of each of the six races of Endless Utopia Online is divided into many hundreds of noble houses of various sizes.

History and background
Historically, all six races had a feudalic system, with one royal house and several great houses, and each of them, in turn, had several vassal houses (or lesser houses). The king had the maximum power, and it descended through the great houses that ruled the different regions that constituted the territory to their vassals.

A typical noble house is seated on a castle and controls the land surrounding it, collecting taxes and tithes from its subjects, who they are also encharged to protect. In times of war, they are expected to recruit a large number of soldiers and to follow their liege to battle. In most cases, only men can become ruling lords, with the women ruling only when the male line has been extinguished or when they are acting as regent to their sons until they have reached the age of maturity. This has gradually changed over time and depending on the race as well.

Over time, many of the royal houses either disappeared, lost their power or became a regular great house. Some of the races gradually moved to a more democratic system, while others keep a monarchy as their political system. Noble houses are now sworn to the head of state, and their importance varies depending on the race they are part.
