Editing Knight Houses (Hektor Heresy) (section)

===Matériel Strength===

By the time Hektor became Warmaster, the Household was believed to be able to field three hundred line Knights, a sizeable amount but still barely half of what the Household had before the coming of the Imperium. Most of those were Paladin and Errant suits, with very few of the Cerastus Chassis and even fewer of the Mechanicum variants such as the Magaera and Stryx. It is known that the Warmaster’s Mechanicum allies supplied hundreds of Knight Armours to the Household throughout the Heresy so that by the time of the Siege of Terra it came close to rivalling even the massive Knight Household of House Raven.
The Knights of Drăcul had a unique system of rankings, based on the old titles of their homeworld. The head of the Household was the Voivode, a direct descendent of the Lord Drăcul, mythic founder of the Household. Beneath him was the Boyars, who acted as both seneschals and governors of the local districts each Knight Detachment was assigned to. The line Knights were known as Druzhina, and were the sons and in some cases daughters of both the many minor nobles who served Drăcul and - in some cases on many of the subjugated worlds - local nobles who had proven themselves to the Household and had shown the ability to command a Knight. They were among those who most keenly felt the loss of the Drăcul Empire and who were the most willing to fight for it and in the end, accept damnation for it.
