Each house is a separate kingdom belonging to the larger kingdom of Moria. Below is a list of such great, and those ungreat, houses that remain in Moria. You will hear the terms queen, queen mother, regent prince and king thrown around. Be aware that at this time the true power lies with Moria, all houses have sworn fealty.
