The Noble Families of Hade today are Descendants of the Feudal Lords that made up the Kingdoms actual Territories for Centuries until the Magna Carta was issued by King Borus which didn't disband Feudalism but greatly scaled back the autonomy of the Feudal Realms within the Kingdom.
The Families are in near constant competition with each other for the Monarchs favor and power within the Kingdom, Alliances are formed through Marriages and rivalries are dealt with quietly behind closed doors mostly ending with a Noble being slandered in Newspapers or being the victim of a Assassin who happened to be walking by.

The House of Larmalenet
The Final Noble House within Hade is the House of Larmalenet whose actual origins are shrouded in mystery and speculation, they are distant relatives of the House of Beaurant during their days as a simple Merchant and Trader Clan but their Clan Mottos and Symbols have been found throughout the Continent in Destroyed Castles or Abandoned Taverns, their Noble Lineage is also a mystery as various Archives describe a "Larmalenet" Clan as a Ducal House while others as a Royal House, despite this confusion the Members of the House of Larmalenet who for years kept their own archives on Family History refuse to share their knowledge and continue to reside in Hade for unknown purposes.
The Current Head of the House of Larmalenet is, depending on who you ask, the Count Limoteuil or the Baron Ephrais who share the Position of "Head of the House" and only adds to the confusion of what Titles the House actually has.
