The holdings of King's Reach and Kennan are near each other, possibly even neighbours

Faleron is a kinsman to Merric of Hollyrose, most likely a cousin. The holdings of King's Reach and Kennan are near each other, possibly even neighbours

known to exist as of the reign of King Roger and Queen Jessamine - possibly defunct

one of the most powerful noble houses in Tortall. Part of the "shield of Tortall", along with haMinch

Queenscove is related to the house of Masbolle, Neal and Dom are cousins. Tammy possibly contradicts herself between First Test and Lady Knight. Duke Baird is described as being in mourning for a son killed in action in the Immortals War but in Lady Knight Neal refers to himself as "Duke Baird's oldest son". Either Neal's only older sibling was that killed in the war or Tammy has simply contradicted herself

Seaver's complexion is said to "suggest Bazhir ancestors", indicating that Tasride is mostly likely a neighbour of the Great Southern Desert

the original line of Trebond died in the male line with the dead of Lord Thom of Trebond at the hands of Socerer Duke Roger of Conte. The barony is now held by Baron Coram and his wife, the Baroness Rispah.
