10 Great Families

The 10 Great Families (위대한 가문, widaehan gahmoon, Great Family) are the direct descendants of the 10 Great Warriors who first came into the Tower with Zahard. They are part of the Ruling Class in the Tower, and their members are often extremely powerful, blessed with the power of their forefathers, meaning that many of them are Rankers. Just as Zahards are considered Royals, 10 Great Family members are considered Nobles.

Another interesting point about these 10 Great Families is that a few selected daughters of the family have the chance to become Zahard's Princesses, and gain an enormous authority and power in the Tower.

Note: If a Family head or house head (가주, gahjoo) has multiple wives or husbands, then there will be a main family and branch families. The Koon Family, notably, has the most branch families.

Arie Family

Koon Family
This family is headed by Koon Eduan. Kun Eduan has the greatest number of wives and second-greatest number of children out of the 10 Families. There is a lot of veiled competition among his children, and too much competition has created the 'official' fights, held once a year, after which the winners are decided to be his true children, and the losers are abandoned. This family is famous for its cunning intelligence.
