Vassals of the Xiang Dynasty

[b]House Beiling[/b]
Ruled by Shin Beiling, Chancellor of Xiaoming. The Chancellor is an intellectual man of 35, best known for being a descendant of the illustrious Lei Beiling who wrote the famous book [i]The Principles of Power[/i] a hundred years ago. Shin is married to Mei, 32, and they have a daughter called Im, who is 12 years old.

The Beilings have been one of the greater families of the Huaren people for a long time. Indeed, they once served the realm as the ruling dynasty. Their sway over politics is great, but they have shown no aspiration for resuming leadership and are loyal to the Xiang.

[b]House Mailan[/b]
Ruled by Han Mailan, Chancellor of Shurpei. The Chancellor is a stalwart man of 45 and has previously been a general of renown in the royal army. His wife died while giving birth to his third child, Jiang, ten years ago. Apart from this son he has two daughters; Fen, 25, and Shu, 18.

The Mailans have only recently become a political force in the realm, but they already had a strong relation to the army thanks to Han’s previous career. Some say the former general has a mindset differing from the ruling dynasty; that he is hateful of the people previously inhabiting Huaren lands, but the family haven’t yet given cause for suspicion and has thus far been loyal to the Xiang.

Let me know what you think about the vassals.

Looks good to me! Though Chinese and other East Asian names follow a surname->given name format. I just rearranged them in my NS.
