The Ten Houses are ruled by a single House member, who is always referred to as “The -house name”, e.g., the ruler of House Terafin is called “The Terafin”. Houses are not familial via blood ties but solely by sworn loyalty to the House.
The southern Annagarians find this inexplicable given that their clan loyalties are all blood relations.

I’ve listed the Houses (with known ruler names) as located in the 6 books. I’m still trying to pin down the 10th…..anyone know its name? 

• Berriliya - Devran
• Darias - unknown
• Fennesar - unknown
• Kalakar - Ellora
• Korisamis - unknown
• Morriset - unknown
• Tamalyn - unknown
• Terafin - Amarais Handernesse
• Wayelyn - unknown
• 10th House??
