How the Houses Align When the King Goes into a Coma

Plot

SOCIETY OF THE BOND

They say they are neutral. 

FORRAND

Headcrown - the capital sees the eldest son as the natural heir however House of Shadon and their citadel Leeanthpa break away to join Barthena 

House of Trem - see Forrand as the most honourable of the kings children, Kant is a well known degenerate and Barthena is seen as too liberal

House of Karna - they were loyal to his father - made a house by him and they see the eldest as the natural heir and the strongest which appeals to their warrior culture.

KANT

House of Sleth - Despite Meon Trem marrying Charlon Sleth the old order doesn't trust their historic enemies the Trem and sees Kant as the better option to alliage against them. 

House of Twain - they see Kant as the one most likely to enforce a conservative vision of the Bond and to support conservative elements within The Society of the Bond even if they do regard him personally as a heretic his brother or sister would be more liberal. 

Though they say they are neutral there are those in The Society of the Bond who see Kant as a strong arm to enforce their vision even if he lack character personally

House of Feedor - Due to his impending marriage to Alexon Feedor

BARTHENA 

House of Soletan - betrays Forrand who has been wooing them and instead side with Barthena as they feel she is a bit weaker but with their help she could win by closing off the south and in the new order they would have more power and possibly depose her and become the royal house themselves

House of Hoten - they see the Princess as most likely to not oppress their local gods and beliefs 

House of Shadon and their citadel Leeanthpa join the princess - they don't believe that their citadel could otherwise withstand the assault from Barthena and Soletan.

THE LANDS OF SHEMKA 

They declare independence and side with no one.

MOUNTPEAK

The place where the King lies in a coma. Under the control of The Society of the Bond while the king is indisposed.
