As this question lingered in the young man's mind, Valyr recalled what he knew about noble clans and families, as well as the system that was in play regarding their hierarchy.
Similar to the nobility title system he was incredibly familiar with, the young man knew that clans and families could separated into three tiers as well, which were noble, royal, and imperial, respectively.
