White Dragon families have Chinese sounding names, and they have a strong sense of honor and identity.

Hawk have the least structure and they smallest number of families still in the house.

Iron Moon is similar to the southern nobility of Englad: snobs, very land oriented, class-conscious people. Least likely to marry outside their house.

Karr nobles are more similar to the splintered Germanic nobility after the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. Thousands of members, hundreds of families, similar habits and faiths and cultural tendencies, but less likely to support each other than strangers. Habitually marry outside the house.

Temmeus have a very large number of families who consider themselves part of the house, but are not considered nobles by others. It is hard to be sure how many actual people are members of this house in Temma. It's possible they're the largest.
