The Noble Houses are the families that rule the different regions of the territory of each of the six races of Endless Utopia Online. There are hundreds of noble houses in all of Agea. The family members of a Noble House are known as "Nobles".

History and background[]

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

Over time, many of the royal houses either disappeared, lost their power, or became a regular noble 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 of.

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 tasked to protect(theoretically, at least). 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.

The various noble houses use distinctive heraldry to identify families and individuals. These heraldic devices are also carried by armies on the battlefield as a sign of status, as well as allegiance to those noble houses. Heraldic designs can vary widely. They may consist of a simple pattern of colors, but more often feature animals (either real or mythological) and/or physical objects. Specific sets of rules govern what form a heraldic design may take.

Most noble houses have certain specific techniques that are passed down from generation to generation. These techniques are feared and renowned throughout Agea. These abilities are known as Inherited Techniques, and the method to perform them is kept a secret so that nobody else can copy them. Some Houses have heirloom weapons that are given to a worthy warrior.

Some noble houses have a marked propensity for certain physical traits, which are passed down through generations.

Playability[]

It is to become a family member of a Noble House once the player is finished creating his account. Similar to how Hybrids are randomly generated in the system of EUO, it is possible to be randomly generated as a family member of a Noble House. When such a thing happens, an explanation of the family tree is given to the player so he can understand his position within the house. Within this section, the highest rank is that of the Lord or Lady. It is also possible to be born as an illegitimate son or a lord or lady.

Players are also able to join the household. The structure of a noble house is adapted to the game so that players can join the house and gain prominence within. A player can join as a man-at-arms. Gradually, they can ascend to higher rankings within the household, becoming master-at-arms, or a squire to later become a knight.

It should be noted that there is not a single path to higher rankings, rather, players have a variety of choices that they can make.
