Hlaalu Kinhouse at Narsis

Kinhouses are a feature within the elven societies of the Dunmer and the Altmer.[1][UOL 1] Definitionally, the term kinhouse can be used in place of the terms 'clan' or 'house' when referring to a noble elven political faction or family (sometimes called a "Kinship").[UOL 2] A kinhouse may also refer to the central clan building(s) of an elven clan, whether the kinhouse is used for residence, administration, gathering place, or some mixture of the three.[UOL 1]

Notes[edit]

  • During the development of base game ESO, Summerset Isle was going to be included as a zone called Varyllis, which was meant to contain the southlands of the isle, from Alinor to Dusk. That zone was meant to feature a number of Altmeri noble kinhouses across its landscape, each headed by a kinlord or kinlady.[UOL 2]
