For Skyheart, they are probably the third most influential house in Lugere. They supply the military with weapons and gold, and tend to have more political power than military power themselves (though they do have their own private army that's sizable enough to protect all of the cities under their care, as well as enough troops to send in with the national military when needed). Their strength lies in their abilities to procure valuable resources, and in their diplomacy. Being one of the houses that fought by Maccus' side back in the wars hundreds of years ago has solidified their position as a notable house in Lugere beyond all else.

@Raijin that sounds good, I'm up for the Espada and Umbraisis families to be enemies, though not too many people know that the Dread Pirate Vana is part of the Espada family (just yet).

@Xander I'm gonna post today when my boyfriend goes to work. I'll definitely post for Corivana, but my posts are kinda long, however they'll shorten down after the introductory phase is over.
