I like the Morrowind-esque idea of great houses. Like, they could create a great house system in Skyrim or across Tamriel. Or a game of thrones-esque feudalism. E.g.

Windhelm-House Stark

Solitude-House Lannister

Whiterun-House Gardener/Tyrell

Winterhold (restored) House Arryn

Solstheim-House Greyjoy

Riften-House Tully

Markarth-House Baratheon

Obviously not given the same names, but similar characteristics.
