 * Wayelyn
 * Fennesar
 * Garisar
 * Korisamis

History
As a reward for supporting the original Twin Kings, the Ten were granted special privileges within the Empire. The rules that govern the Empire do not apply to any of the Ten as long as it does not endanger the Empire. Even in times of a House War, Avanatari would not interfere.

The Ten Houses are ruled by their respective rulers and each House ruler takes on the name of the Houses as their title (eg. The Terafin, The Morriset, The Tamalym etc...). Collectively they are known as the Ten

Members of their House who have been granted the right to the House name will take on the House name in favour of their original House, if they have one (eg Jewel ATerafin, Barston ATerrafin, Parsus ADarias etc)

When the council of the Ten meet they do so in the Hall of Wise Counsel located in Avanatari
