For some time, effective power has been wielded by the Wydsomme and Othelio familes, whose political marriage three generations ago (Calvis' Grandparents) coupled with a ruthless turnabout at the same time brought down an unstable coalition headed by the Khiozi, Riddermark, and Jedrol families. As the Wydsomme and Othelio families were at the time the bitterest of rivals, their alliance came as a surprise and thus they were able to parlay a feigned antagonism into a successful "divide and conquer" strategy. However, the recent and sudden assassination of [[Calvis Wydsomme]] and his heir-presumptive daughter has led to fissures in this alliance for the first time in decades.

A collection of Gentry-Nobility that maintained powerful familial dynasties in Wydmoor Free City prior to its sacking by Odessa in 1401 FI. By and large, these were families of high standing who supported Odriss Rockheart during the Third Interregnum. Most were prominent guildsmen, plantation owners, religious officials, and manufacturers, and together they have essentially run the domestic affairs of Wydmoor Free City and the surrounds for the past seven centuries. Although their wealth and power seems to have been all but shattered with the collapse of the bank and destruction of the city, a great number of survivors still endure, many having taken shelter with relations and allies in Ubrekt and elsewhere.

A read deal of their power came from bein active or passive stakeholders in the Bank of Wydmoor, as well as their hold stakes in the mining operations of Iros Forge. The seven Founding Families of Wydmoor tied their interests together in the first days of the rebellion by splitting evenly control of these institutions, and that tenuous cement holds to this day. As the bank no longer operates, and the Red Iron mines have been solidly in Odessan hands for two years now, these families have all faced ruination to one degree or another.
