The Eastern Heart Domain was the core of the entire Eastern Domain, home to countless formidable families and Sects. As the Five Great Forces of the Eastern Heart Domain, they naturally had many vassal forces and families under their command.
To put it one way, any power that wished to survive in the Eastern Heart Domain had to align itself with one of the Five Great Forces. Take the Flawless Palace, for example; it had innumerable vassal forces and families.
These families and forces pledged to the Flawless Palace had to offer a great deal of resources as tribute each year. In return, the Flawless Palace would not only grant them protection but also select some of their most exceptionally talented members to enter the palace and cultivate.
