  • 1: When speaking the name of a noble of the house, one uses the Genitive form. For example: Zelena Andromedae is of the House Andromedes
  • 2: The original twelve houses cohabitated on Tion, but during the rise of the Tion Hegemony each claimed a Throneworld. Since they have kept these worlds for the majority of Tion's history, it is prudent to list them here.
  • 3: House Vela's symbology is a reference to the ''Argo Navis'', the original colony ship that bore the Survivors to Tion.
  • 4: Usually portrayed as a marlin or swordfish, because, come on.
  • 5: The House of Arcturus succeeded the house of Koronos, and they reigned long until their last monarch, Robeir Arcturian, was slain by the Kingslayer Aeon Korr. According to official propaganda of the Cronese Mandate, the House of Koronos has re-succeeded the House of Arcturus, despite having no current members.

Note:

  • Cadinth probably deserves to be a throneworld. It was one of the Four Thrones of Cron, after all.
