In the celestial realm of Astraea, twelve noble houses govern the world, each aligned with a unique star sign that defines their identity, strengths, and traditions. These houses derive their power from ancient constellations, and their influence stretches across the land, the seas, and the skies. Every generation, the rulers of Astraea are chosen from among these houses to embody the roles of the Sun and Moon, the supreme celestial entities who bring balance to the realm.
The houses often come together for balls and parties. Everyone accepts the fact nobles only get married through arranged marriages set by the Council.
The council is made up of members elected by each of the twelve noble houses. They follow the seers of House Pisces to arrange matches, and try to ensure the balance of power remains the same so no house takes over and overthrow the government. The only people above them are the Sun and Moon.

The Sun represents strength, vitality, and leadership, while the Moon symbolizes wisdom, adaptability, and intuition. Together, they form a cosmic bond that sustains balance in Astraea, governing day and night, light and shadow, and the elemental forces of the world. Their role is similar to that of a King and Queen; they are the rulers of Astraea for a generation before passing the role on as decided by the council.
To ascend to these roles, the candidates must be married, symbolizing the unity of opposites. Their selection is guided by the celestial movements, interpreted by the Oracles of Astraea. Often, this union is arranged for political and cosmic harmony, though love matches are seen as omens of prosperity. Once crowned, the Sun and Moon transcend their house loyalties, serving as impartial stewards of the realm. Gender does not matter, and it's not unusual to see same sex couples ascend to the throne.

The house of Cancer is known for being nurturers of the seas, healers, and stewards of life.
Their current heir is a young woman called Lira Corvail.
They are renowned for their connection to the ocean and lunar magic; they govern a coastal province where the tides dictate life and trade. Their main keep is a coral encrusted castle called "Moonspire Keep". They tell tales of being blessed by the moon goddess herself.
