Cultural notes:
KGT 36: Some houses are particularly wealthy, controlling vast lands by means of armed forces loyal to the particular house.
KGT 37-8: the heads of the larger houses--that is, those with the greatest holdings and strongest forces-have seats on the Klingon High Council ({tlhIngan yejquv}), the body that rules the Empire. [...] Depending on a house's successes in any of these battles, its holdings--and therefore its overall influence in the society--may increase or decrease. [...] If the High Council determines an action to be dishonorable, not only may it remove the leader of a house from the Council itself, it may also seize the house's lands, forces, and other holdings.
