Imperial House of Yamatai

The Imperial House of Yamatai (皇室), also referred to as the Imperial Family, comprises the members of the extended family of the reigning Empress of Yamatai. The Imperial House is the central house in the eight houses, alongside the regent houses. Members of the eight houses are able to marry into the Imperial House, with the most powerful of such a union being a marriage to the Empress Herself, enabling branches of the regent houses to gain greater power and influence.
