Houses:



House Thaqafi, the fancy cultural house of Mînbar. Sort of the artisans of the realm, the’re very non-militaristic and scholarly, they’re none for making everything beautiful, and the’re also known for being good singers.



House Aban, the nature’y house. Their lands are in the farthest southern parts of the desert, their southern boundary being the river that separates the desert from the savannah. In their lands, every city is separated be a winding desert road, but the cities have tapped into the springs below, so that in contrast to the environment beyond their walls, their cities are lush jungle paradises. This house’s capital is beautiful Islamic architecture and Numenorean technique transported to constructed, irrigated (fed from the springs below) jungles that have plants and animals from all over the tropical parts of Arda.



House Luhur, the house of Eastern Ambarona. They have an affinity for Khandi and Malakasi things, being the exotic melting-pot of Ambarona. They have a strong affinity for vertical, linear architecture, and their cities are filled with towers.



House Kadar, the house of Northern Ambarona. They live in a very harsh, dry, desert climate, being very hot in the long summers, and very cold (cold by Ambaronan standards) in the winters. They aren’t very wealthy, but they’re very hardy.



House Adun, the house of Western Ambarona. They were originally a vassal house of the royal house, and when Elerion was bumped up to the royal house, they fixed the numbers again. They are sorta of the Lannisters of Ambarona, they’re very rich, totalitarian, cruel and are rumored to practice Melkor-worship, though they’ll deny it. They are purely Numenorean, and value blood-purity so much that they’re rather inbred. They’re Veantur and Miriel’s main political opponents within Ambarona.



House Azar, the sea-house. They live on the islands off the coast of Ambarona, and are it’s first defense against Eastern-invaders. They’re very rebellious, and are descended from a mix of a the natives of their islands, which were a strange Near-Haradic tribe (think the Berbers from the Canaries), Numenorean colonists and freed/escaped slaves (slaves being from all over), in order of increasing influence.



House Kuteuliwa, the Southern house. When Ambarona expanded into the Savannahs, they had to pacify the locals. In this case, that meant appointing a prominent Moredain chiefdom a Great House of Ambarona. They’re definitely the Dorne of Ambarona (metaphorically, as all of Ambarona is Dorn’ish XD), retaining their entire Moredain identity.
