Leyson

The Leyson family is the most politically powerful of the great houses, second only to the royal family. The capitol of the Kingdom of Borough, although technically not part of any county, is located within Storhand county.
The Leyson family is known for their unique elemental affinity: plasma. They carry bladeless sword hilts and run their plasma element through them to create swords that can cut through their enemies' defenses.

House Leyson has two branch families: The Atwoods and the Belamish family.

Structure

Prime heir: Milla Leyson

The Leyson family has the head, who makes much of the major decisions and the prime heir, who stands to inherit the position of head when the head of the family dies or retires. Each branch family has their own heads, however, they all take orders from the main family.

The branch families all carry the name Leyson and have some degree of wealth. They also gain the benefit of protection from the main family. However, the main family is the only ones who are able to petition the Queen and the head of the main family is the one who makes decisions for the entire family.

Culture

"For country and for queen."
The Leyson family is strict and almost militaristic. They demand perfection and obedience from those within their family. They view their every action as a reflection on the entire family and the kingdom.
The family's view on those under them is one of a worker and their tools. A peasant is a tool to be used for a specific purpose, much like soldiers, guards, and mercenaries. They are very strict when it comes to management.

Public Agenda

The Leyson family is often seen as the dogs of the queen. They have the third largest military force behind only the queen herself and the Bronzeford family. However, their blind loyalty to the queen and their proximity to the capitol have turned their own forces into somewhat of the queen's forces. They often back the queen, even without being asked.

In the Leyson's territory, Storhand County, it is a crime to speak ill of the queen or the nobility. However, although they have a large military force, they are not able to constantly patrol the entire territory and most town guards do not enforce this rule.
