The Nobility and Houses of Galea
•	King Argon Aladay (House Aladay) 
•	Queen Grenia (of the Olaran family) 
•	Heir Apparent, Prince Kale Aladay 
•	Royal Regent, Lord High Chancellor Rembroke Lyonn 
•	Chief Advisor, Lady Chancellor Paridia Vai'tior 
House Aladay - King of Galea (Aladay is regented by Urik, Duke of Gryphon)
Aladay holds control over Gryphon, Clayton, Dwyer, and the capital Galadrea. Aladay is the ruling house of the kingdom and has been since the beginning of the kingdom. The house has a reputation for benevolence and a reluctance for war. They are quite wealthy with high interests in shipping and trade. Unfortunately, their house is also the target of much anger, jealousy, and spite. They have long been criticized for their "more-than-friendly" relations with the Landraâ€™Feya and other outside influences (enemies often refer to them as "Fae-Lovers" due to the high number of fae-human relationships common to their line, including Vol himself).
House Lyonn - Reneau Lyonn, Duke of Vale
Lyonn commands only the strongholds of Vale and Deridius, yet they also command one of the largest tracts of land of any house. Lyonn is a very traditional agricultural house. It follows the "old ways" more than most houses and has a reputation for stuffiness and arrogance. However, Lyonn has ever been loyal to the Throne.
House Avanon - Thomas Avanon, Duke of Lakehold
Avanon commands the north border with Camon, and they hold Lakehold, Eagle Watch, and Northwatch in their sway. Avanon has always been strongly allied with Aladay and very loyal, and their power is considerable with extensive trading, mining, and agricultural interests.
House Furrel - Olivia Descane, Duchess of Riverend
Furrel has always been dominated by merchant lords and trader barons, and Duchess Olivia is the craftiest businesswoman in the realm. In addition to Riverend, the house controls the agricultural area around Tierny and the additional riverport called Halfway.
House Danatar - Shaunnessy Danatar, Duke of Avalar
Danatar, which controls the seaports of Aradar, Enor, Falcrest, and Northpoint, and the landlocked Oakwood, has always borne the reputation of being a house of scoundrels and adventurers. This is not entirely undeserved, as many a famous pirate or privateer has Danatarian blood. Oddly enough, there seems to be a bond between their House and that of Aladay (something else that provides ammunition to Aladay's enemies). To their credit, House Danatar boasts some of the greatest sailors in history, including the current Grand Admiral of Galea. They are also one of the wealthiest families in all of Galea.
House Saldar - Ander Venere, Duke of Volstead
This house is one of the most unremarkable of the noble clans, ever plagued with rulers bereft of ambition. Commanding the ports of Volstead and Fendwyr's Point, and the agriculture center of Eristead, it could be a quite influential and wealthy house, except that making do has always been enough. This is highly ironic in that Volstead was the original home of Vol Al-daya.
House Kahnar - Tolin Kahnar, Duke of Karas
The House of Kahnar has ever stood as the symbol of pragmatism and self-reliance within the noble houses of Galea. When times are good, the Kahnars prepare for the worst. When they are bad, Khanar stands firm to help hold the kingdom together. The nobles of Kahnar are the epitome of gentlemen farmers. Their holdings include Karas, Douly, and the legendary crossroads town of Five Cross. Not surprisingly, this house has strong relations with the Kingdom of Olara.
