According to the law, when a noble lineage affiliated with the royal family is removed from the records, the royal family has the right to reclaim the property of this noble lineage and reassign it to others. Subordinate vassals who were loyal to the previous noble should, under normal circumstances, pledge allegiance to the new leader—however, this is not mandatory, but rather a moral and customary requirement. The King has no authority to interfere with the vassals of vassals, so whether the followers of the old leader will swear allegiance to the new master often depends on the new leader's skill. In fact, the ability to make the previous generation's vassals swear allegiance to oneself is an important standard by which to measure whether a noble possesses adequate strength and prestige, at least in Anzu.
