Five major clans form the ruling structure:

Oak Family–religion, politics, medicine (supreme authority,high clergy,doctors)

Bloodhound Family–military and security (knights,guards,paladins,generals)

Alfalfa Family–economy, trade, agriculture(graphs and awnings)

Nightingale Family–science, architecture,education(Dukes and Viscounts),neutral clan

Argenti—a red-haired noble and too-romantic Knight of Beaty Path who is Sunday's bodyguard. He and Ratio are friends!
