Great House

The Great Houses are five ancient Kurzick families that trace their lineage into the earliest history of Cantha. They provide leadership and are the focus of power in the Kurzick nation.

Two houses of the five are stronger and more prominent than the remaining three and all five houses squabble amongst each other mainly to show power and extend influence. Still, when it comes to enmity towards the Luxons, all five houses easily overlook their differences to fight their common foe.

Members of the House zu Heltzer are the leaders of the Kurzicks.

The five houses are
 * House zu Heltzer
 * House Vasburg
 * House Brauer
 * House Lutgardis
 * House Durheim
