Tower of God is one of the most recommended manhwa and it is my personal favorite. It is a South Korean manhwa written by S.I.U and serialized in Webtoon platform "Naver Webtoon" since June 30, 2010.
It even adapted to Anime just in this 2020. I like how they give a twist to a common manhwa plot especially the heirarchy in tower as well as the reign of mysterious king and the 10 great family. At first, I thought that it is just the mediocre manhwa plot of "Zero to Hero", and actually I'm not wrong (haha). It's uniqueness lies on the background story of the characters and although the main character is OP, he is not the strongest in tower. King Zahard is very mysterious. The irregulars like Urek Mazino and Enryu is a very interesting characters. But what got my curiosity the most is the 10 Great Family. They are like royalties in this story that climb the tower once together with King Zahard. Their leaders possess charisma and you can feel the greatness in them. Although it is not clear if they are allies or enemies. Just one thing is clear, they make the story more interesting.
And here is The 10 Great Family in Tower of God. They are not ranked by powers because it is very complex and some of their ability is unknown.
Khun Family
Family Head: Khun Eduan
The family of Khun Agueno Agnes. It is believed that they are second family with the most number of family member. It is because Khun Eduan is a womanizer. And because of their large family, the competition for power is intense that if the children reach 10 years old they have to fight with each other. The victor will be given a chance to weild the family crest while the loser will be abandoned. They are rival with the Arie Family in terms of power which makes them second strongest family in tower. They are good in physical combat despite of their role as Spearbearer. They are famous with their spearbearer ability that it is believed their family leader has the ability to cut the tower on half which gives him a nickname of "God of Spears". They mostly use Thunder and Ice element.
Arie Family
Family Leader: Arie Hon
They are the exact opposite of Khun Family. They are very meticulous in terms of bloodline thats why it is rare to encounter them in the tower. Famous for their swordmanship ability but only thought to few members of family. They hold the title as the strongest family. And despite of their rivalry between Khun and Ha family which mostly compared to their family, they remain in good terms. Even Khun family teach their children that if they fight someone in Arie Family, they must never dodge the attack but instead withstand it and return a much strongest attack.
Ha Family
Family Head: Ha Yurin
Have the strongest physical abilities among the families despite that most of them are females. They have a strange personality of "charge no matter what" that when it comes to battle you'll expect that the family leader is in the frontline. One example of that is Ha Yuri Zahard. They are not in good term to Khun Family, maybe because of the personality of Khun Eduan.
Yeon Family
Family Head: Yeon Hana
Most interesting family. Their descendants didn't come from family head but instead to their godmother because Yeon Hana is believed a virgin and a sexist. They mostly looked down to men. Yeon daughters are only born once every 100 years and an example of that is Yeon Yihwa. Despite of their bloodline not coming from the great family, they possess flame powers that if controled properly even the descendants of Khun family will be ashamed. They are really good at controlling fire that they are referred as fire itself.
Lo Po Bia Family
Family Head: Lo Po Bia Family Head
They are a famous for their ability as anima. They can control animal, shinhues and even humans. This type of ability is rare even for a ranker in tower. Even Baylord Yama (A Fug Slayer) will kneel before them just by their words. Their family are divided into 20 different branch depends on the type of animal they possess.
Eurasia Family
Family Head: Eurasia Blossom
Their family leader married the family leader of Po Bidau and their daughter Eurasia Enne Zahard once hailed as the strongest princess of Zahard. After their daughter was sealed sealed because of a certain incident the two family forbid marriage between their family and remain hostile towards each other. Their family is famous at controlling strong shinsu and is believed that they are the best in tower.
Po Bidau Family
Family Leader: Po Bidau Gustang
The family of genius. Their descendants were selected to work for Research Association and if they failed to be a member, they will be kicked out from the family. They are known for their proficiency in controlling shinsu. They can control it with higher accuracy. Their leader Po Bidau Gustang is the one who proposed the competition between princess of Zahard to Zahard himself. They are the most knowledgeable in the tower.
Ari Family
Family Head: Ari Han
They are related to Arie Family but instead of sword, they use needle. Among the great families, this family hates war the most and if possible they will prevent one to happen.
Tu Perie Family
Family Head: Tu Perie Tperie
Tu Perie is a brilliant light bearer users in the tower. Tu Perie Tperie himself is the first light bearer in the tower. He is also the strategist of King Zahard at the time when they're just an ordinary persons climbing the tower. There is no data available if Tu Perie Tperie have a family.
Hendo Lok Family
Family Head: Hendo Lok Bloodmadder
They are considered as the weakest and least influential in the tower among the great families. Except from Bloodmadder they are known to have shorter lifespan. But despite of this they have the most number of descendants in the tower even if Bloodmadder doesn't have many wives like Khun Eduan. They are good in their defender ability.
And here's the 10 great family in Tower of God. They have different family complex but they are the one who makes the story more interesting especially in manhwa.
