#narsis in particular is a hotbed which is why all the rano siblings ultimately left

I love your writing and thoughts on the world! like fourth era Morrowind, it really comes to life. what do you think happened with high ranking Hlaalu like councillors, nobles and their families? if they're still nobles and have their family name, marriage and business deals, maybe joining other great houses since Hlaalu isn't one anymore. and what do you think about the origins of house Sadras?

aw thank you! <3

i think that many of the more overtly pro-empire hlaalu nobles were banished or executed when their house fell from grace. house redoran needed money and manpower fast in order to fend off the an-xileel (and to keep the east empire company from taking too many liberties) and was in a hurry to consolidate however possible the wealth and assets of what had been, under the imperial thumb, the most prosperous group of families in the country. i doubt that many high-ranking hlaalu were quick to heap even more disgrace on their heads by denouncing their ties to their house—it's possible for the nerevarine to "join" a great house because they're an outlander with no connections to any of morrowind's established families, but most dunmer of morrowind are born into their houses and would consider betraying their house a dishonorable act akin to betraying one's family and ancestral values. so in the fourth era hlaalu still exists, but as an impoverished and vilified house struggling to reestablish a foothold in velothi politics and trade with many of its leaders and elders either dead or in exile

i've posted in more depth about house sadras before...i'm going to try to find those posts for you. the gist of it is that house sadras was a hlaalu vassal-house that threw its lot in with house redoran and was richly rewarded for it when the redorans took power. now it's a redoran catspaw struggling to keep a lid on insurrection in deshaan and suffering the brunt of hlaalu loyalists' rage against house redoran
