Overview
The Su'ndi House or Family is usually organised around a single (or group of) businesses which the family itself owns and manages. The House may hire other individuals from other houses to do certain aspects of the labour towards this business and there are several houses who's business is almost exclusively based upon work for other houses. In this way there are houses that are centered around managing mines, plantations and trade companies and there are also houses that are centered upon labouring in those same mines and plantations and well as in the family run workshops which supply the trade companies with the goods they transport.
Things are a little different in a frontier province such as Kassoa as Houses more readily adopt people into the fold. As a result Kassoan Houses tend to be more diverse, housing people of multiple backgrounds and multiple vocations. They will still aim towards establishing one or more family businesses but the youth of the Houses means that many have yet to achieve this goal.
In Su'ndi society the House is everything. Membership in a house does not only gain you a group of people to work with and share life with but it also gives the family member full citizenship within the region the family belongs to. Without citizenship and thus without family a man (or woman) has few rights and fewer privileges.
