If you’re at Comic-Con in San Diego, don’t forget to get your Klingon on. StarTrek.com will offer a quartet of exclusive postcards depicting four of the Great Houses of the Klingon Empire: Mogh, Kor, Duras and Martok. The Great Houses were a feudalistic social organization that ruled the Klingon Empire, with each house incorporating various holdings and properties, as well as commanding military forces. The houses were named after ruling families and most often led by that family's eldest male. The Klingon High Council was made up of the two dozen leaders of the most powerful Great Houses.
Members of The House of Duras included Duras, Toral, Lursa and B'Etor, while members of the House of Martok included Martok, Worf, Sirella, Ezri Dax, Jadzia Dax and Worf's son, Alexander. The House of Kor counted among its members Kor and Rynar, while the House of Mogh included Mogh, Worf, Kurn and Alexander. Worf initially belonged to the House of Mogh, which was stripped of its honor, and later was accepted by the House of Martok.
The availability and whereabouts of the postcards, created by Juan Ortiz, can be found by following StarTrek.com’s tweets via @StarTrek. Fans will also be able to purchase larger prints of the designs through the StarTrek.com Shop. And be sure to visit the CBS Interactive both (#4245) to snag an exclusive mini-poster featuring all four designs.
