Source, as pointed out by tenebrouscandor-blog. Hebden Bridge is often cited as one of the early Madrian households, presumably before they all moved together to the An Droichead Beo, or more commonly (and infamously) known as St. Bride's School. This is incredibly interesting to see, given the many different incarnations of Aristasian schools that were formed over the years.

Houses also had different names in Aristasia. The iconic St. Bride's School was called "An Droichead Beo", or "The Living Bridge", during the Silver Sisterhood era before St. Bride's. The St. Bride's School was also advertised as Kincasslagh House in certain adult magazines, when it was offering more discipline oriented stays at the very same school. Perhaps looking to shed it's school house image, Kincasslagh House is also mentioned as the name of the house in The Romantic zines.

From the first Artemis zine, 1983. This would be when the the Silver Sisters were first active in Donegal, in the house that would later become St. Brides. Note that someone at the homestead is apparently named Rhennie, and how similar this is to the word "Rhennish" or "Rhiannë".

Before the building was St. Bride's School, it was An Droichead Beo, a Rhennish commuinty. Image from the Burton Heritage facebook community.
