			Known as the Shh'oi Gamant or the Great Houses of Muspar'i, these ten houses are not static when it comes to their social or political standing. Instead, it is the members of each Gamant that determines how the house rises or falls. The ruler of Muspar'i is the ultimate authority on the standing of any of the Shh'oi Gamant and this is typically done entirely on personal prejudice.
⚫	:More detailed information can be found here: [[S'Kra_Mur_Houses#Muspar.27i\|Musparan Gamants]]

			In Muspar'i, the monarch is chosen by who is most experienced and well-liked rather than by blood. The chosen monarch's Gamant is always elevated immediately to that of the First House, the Royal House, or the Gamant'hr'ur.

			Most often, heirs are chosen from the Second or Third Houses but it is not unheard of for someone from the Fourth House to be selected or even for a lower house to be raised in order for the favored person to be considered ideal.

			Each time a new monarch or heir is selected, the hierarchy of the houses is rebalanced. The ruler has the right to rearrange each of the Gamant as they see fit, which means currying favor is the political past time within Muspar'i.
