Minor Houses

Minor Houses were small Houses not yet big or successful enough to attain full House status. They were usually put under the umbrella of a large House. Some Families grew so large that they split into multiple Families within a Minor House. Minor Houses sometimes grew big enough to become Houses in their own right, such as in the case of House Kilroy. Minor Houses were replaced by Duchies during the 2nd Empire Era, then brought back later in that same era. They fell out of use by the dawn of the 1st Imperium Era.
