10 Great Families

The 10 Great Families are the direct descendants of the men who first came into the Tower with Zahard. They represent the ruling faction in the Tower, and their members are often extremely powerful, meaning that many of them are Rankers.

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