The lowest members are Retainers, those who either reached the age where they can begin to influence and gain rank in their birth clan or who was allowed entry into the clan due to their feats or marriage to a House member. The House has its main seat of power on Helike, an island off the coast of the Sunbeam Ruins, but its members are not held to the island and many are wanderers that only return to the island once in a blue moon.

The town is home to many considering themselves outsiders and wild folk, and avoids retribution from House Aaldir by assisting in its more darker, unofficial affairs. - Livewire Lake: named after the colorful Livewire Endlers that live there, Aaldir sits on its southern bank. - Ruins of Sagas: a expanse of ruins dating back to the dawn of the Second Age.
