家族
每个王朝都会有一个奠基家族，通常与宗族同名，是宗族的第一个家族。封建或氏族政府的统治家族成员，如果与宗族有血缘关系，可以选择创建一个支系，在宗族之下建立一个支系家族。每个家族都有自己的名字和座右铭，通常由创建地点和创始人物来产生，这些都可以由家主随意改变。他们还将有一个独特的纹章，有两个四分之二复制自宗族的纹章。
Creating a Cadet Branch has the following requirements:
- The character must be blood-related to their current House Head
- The character must not stand to inherit any of their current House Head's titles
- The character must have sufficient Prestige
- All ancestors of the character are dead
If a House Head demands the religious conversion of a House member and the member refuses, it will result in the creation of a new Cadet Branch.
Each character born from a Marriage will belong to the father's House unless the marriage is Matrilineal.
家主
The House Head is the leader of a House. House Heads have the power to legitimize bastards, call House members to war at no cost and demand that they convert to their Faith. In addition, House Heads will get a 
Weak Hook on all newly born House members. House Heads gain monthly prestige from living and landed members of their house, up to a maximum of +5; +0.02 for every living member, +0.02 for Barons, +0.04 for Counts, +0.06 for Dukes, +0.08 for Kings, and +0.1 for Emperors. When a House Head dies, its Primary Heir becomes the next House Head.
When a character creates a Cadet Branch, they become its House Head, and free from the direct influence of their old House Head unless he or she was the Dynasty Head.
宗族族长
The most powerful House Head of a Dynasty (as determined by military strength) will always become the Dynasty Head upon the death of the current one. Dynasty Head ownership may take up to a year to update on succession.[1] The Dynasty Head gains Monthly Prestige from living and landed members of their dynasty, up to a maximum of +3; +0.01 for every living member, +0.01 for Barons, +0.02 for Counts, +0.03 for Dukes, +0.04 for Kings, and +0.05 for Emperors. The Dynasty Head has access to the following interactions with dynasty members of the same faith:
| Interaction | Effects | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 召集宗族成员加入战争 | Targeted Dynasty Member may join the Dynasty Head's current war | 75  Renown
|

宗族威望
Renown is a resource accumulated by a Dynasty and is used for the most powerful Dynasty Head interactions, unlocking Dynasty Legacies and increasing a Dynasty's level of Splendor. A Dynasty gains Monthly Renown for the following:
- +0.02 for each living member
- +0.12 for each independent baron
- +0.25 for each independent count
- +0.5 for each independent duke
- +1 for each independent king
- +2 for each independent emperor
- +0.1 for each member married to a baron
- +0.2 for each member married to a count
- +0.4 for each member married to a duke
- +0.8 for each member married to a king
- +1.6 for each member married to an emperor
宗族威望等级
Firstly, all renown earned by a Dynasty counts towards its Level of Splendor, which determines how known the Dynasty is in the eyes of the world, how much Prestige characters get from being born or marrying into it the maximum long reign Opinion characters can get and how decorated the Dynasty's coat of arms will be. Having a high level also makes it much easier to arrange marriages, especially with Dynasties with a Lower Level of Splendor. The Level of Splendor will never decrease. Peasant Dynasties start at Base Origins.

宗族传承
Dynasty Legacies are permanent modifiers and unlocks that can be unlocked by the Dynasty Head and affect every member of a Dynasty. Each Legacy contains five unlocks, each costing a progressively higher amount of Renown to unlock. If an AI character becomes Dynasty Head it will only unlock Legacies belonging to the tree with the highest current progress.
