Unlike in Ucea, an Estate in Caphiria is a legal concept with its own set of regulations and governance. Additionally, there are two subtypes of Estate with their own respective legal distinctions. The head of an Estate has many common names; patriarch/matriarch, ''Paterfamilias,'' etc. but is legally recognized as ''Potissimus'' (lit. "most fit"). | Unlike in Ucea, an Estate in Caphiria is a legal concept with its own set of regulations and governance.

The origin of Estates come from ancient Caphiria and the [[Latinic people]] who inhabited the region. Ancient Latinic naming conventions were based on what is called the ''Tria nomina,'' which utilized the ''praenomen, nomen'', and ''cognomen.'' The ''nomen'' was the ancient equivalent of a family name, or ''gens''. A ''gens'' was composed of people with the same ''nomen'' and over time this became the backbone of ancient Caphirian society. | |||
