FAQ
Can I use this for merchant princes or crime families?
Yes. The structure covers name, leader, heir, base, and rivals - it works for any powerful family regardless of their source of power.
How many houses should I generate for a kingdom?
Three to five major houses is enough for rich political play. Generate them separately and assign alliances and feuds.
Does the spy network section duplicate the Faction Pack?
No. The spy network here is one section naming the house's covert arm. The Faction Pack builds a full political body with its own hierarchy.
