Do you mean the most latest SVN made them start out as King-tier titles? Or that they can gain king-tier rank? Because if its the later, I already knew that; if its the former, I am very intrigued.

It's the former. Each Great House rules over an independent kingdom in each bookmark.

Oh that's interesting, but how does that make sense? What happened to the High King of Morrowind? Or did you upgrade them to an empire tier title? (which would counteract the "independent" part of your statement)

Consider that the Dunmer Great Houses were quite autonomous, especially before Morrowind became a part of the Empire. But there was no Empire-appointed King or Queen of Morrowind in the Second Era, and in order to model that, there is no longer a High King/Queen of Morrowind by default. One can create the title if they control enough of Morrowind (it's still the de jure kingdom), but the five "districts" of Dres, Hlaalu, Indoril, Redoran and Telvanni are all fully independent and are each King-tier.

Awesome, now some life can actually be felt in Morrowind then! Cause lets face it a united Morrowind never did anything, nor did it leave much room for infighting, but a divided Morrowind can be a great place for opportunities.

Well, although I'm a bit surprised about that (I don't play the SVN), it's definitely better than the boring brown blob : P. Anyway, this raises a lot of questions. Can anyone create the titular kingdoms for the Great Houses or they have specific conditions? Is there any kind of way to represent the relative peace between houses or you can just wage war against other houses?

P.D. - It's definitely an easier but effective way of handling the great houses. I just can't wait to play the Telvanni in the new version : D

To create one of the houses you need to have the right House Trait for it, say be part of House Redoran to create the Great House of Redoran titular Kingdom. Assuming that in the new set-up on the SVN the 5 Great Houses titles are titular, then they won't have any actual claims on each other, other than the 1 county cb's which is fine.

I've noticed in my current playthrough the Dunmer controlling Silgard is Houseless, but he is married to a Redoran. My question is if it is possible for Houseless Dunmer to form a new house? That might make it interesting for Morrowind politics should the inter-house strife become more fleshed out. Nothing upsets the balance quite like a rising star.

I think dynasties could be used to represent minor houses, which if they become important enough, can become proper houses.
