Houses of Old Vashton

Officially Duthgar ruled in Old Vashton but everyone knew that it was the six noble houses who held the real power here in Old Vashton, this was fine until they grew tired of The Advisers to the King and the fact that their country was often ridiculed by many other nations for having a dead dog as their official monarch. Now that The Divided Regions of Bestaria has established itself as its own country officially The Visible Council rules the country but most of the council members are mostly made up of those who hold prominent positions within the Houses.

Unlike in the council the houses are not officially segregated into overseeing particular areas of the city but they each have a major role in particular areas of city life and stepping over into someone else's remit can result in violent retaliation a kin to gang wars.

The Houses

House Orien (Arcane and the magical art)
