House VorCadriaan
Structure
1) High Lady Bathos VorCadriaan, current spiritual successor of King Cadriaan who ruled what is now Cadriaan Province at the conclusion of the Twelve Kingdom Era, reigns over Great House VorCadriaan as direct representative of Emperor Gregor Vortapani. She swears her fealty to the Emperor (and only to him!). She acts in the best interest of Cadriaan Province, its High Vor and Low Vor component Houses starting with House VorCadriaan (the version collecting taxes in Achillea System directly), always as a component of the Imperium.
1a) Baron __ (designated Heir to the High Lady, and theoretical future High Lord. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to and seconded to High Lady Countess Bathos VorCadriaan.)
2) Countess Bathos VorCadriaan wearing a different hat: (titular head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to, well, herself as High Lady. Let's agree to ignore this bit.)
3) There is no Count VorCadriaan at this time, as Countess Vorcadriaan says no man can live up to her late husband Tulev VorCadriaan. (spouse/partner of titular head of house, usually non-inheriting but possessing specific responsibilities and authorities in support of the head of House. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly and seconded to High Lady Countess Bathos VorCadriaan.)
4) Baron __ (officially designated Heir of titular head, often serves as Count's Voice either in regional administration or in the Council of Counts while the titular head is occupied elsewhere. Fealty sworn to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count and seconded to High Lady Countess Bathos VorCadriaan.)
5) other members of Vor House, related or married in or adopted, swearing fealty to Emperor Gregor Vortapani directly through their Count
6) senior Armsmen, especially those who have been Armsmen of this particular House for 20+ standard years, swearing fealty to a specific member of the House who in turn swears fealty in an unbroken chain up to Emperor Gregor Vortapani
