Egendom

An Egendom(Cryrian: "Estate") is a term used to refer to a group of large conglomerates dominated by a single family. Each Egendom consists of a wide array of entities that wield significant economic and political power within the Kingdom. The term first entered common use in 1956.

Though all Egendom share a Cryrian origin, their operations are typically worldwide and some Egendom have largely shifted outside the Kingdom, or are entirely based outside of it. For instance, the Tynam Egendom is closely tied to Älemsi Negdel and its eastern Gazny clan, while the Reitz and Linderoth families are based in the Duchy of Charlottesborg and the Mandate of Ellesborg respectively. While Egendom are associated with the Cryrian nobility in popular imagination, several notable examples such as the Marlberg and Linderoth families emerged without any recognized aristocratic background.
