Er, am I a big doofus for not being able to figure out where to join? I've been directed to both Crystal Lane and the Great Tower, and there doesn't seem to be anything doing. This is in Plat, in case something has vanished. :)

Update on Elothean Houses?

Which ones are released now? I read a post from back in August, but I think there have been one or two released since then. (Although the ones I want to join probably haven't been released yet.)

They are released the locations have not been rebult fully.
I am curious if there will be more events surrounding the houses in the near future. Specifically Waxen Moons is the one i'm most concerned about given the little information provided to date.

Liarew has been out and about a bit - more than any other house leader lately - and will likely be making more outings again soonish (yeah, there's that word...). Both Nhia and I are aware that certain houses will need more of their leaders' active presence than others (though it's not like we want to ignore any!).
So as far as events go, you can at least expect to see the house leaders active. Bigger events - such as perhaps replacing some of the missing leaders (such as Rowan Branch, currently only with one leader instead of the triad, or Floating Reed, currently missing its female leader) will come in time, especially as the houses get their physical structures.

I feel like a bad Elothean now. I've been avidly playing Ndin as my main for 5-7 years now, and I've never done a single piece of research on any of the houses. Does anyone have a website with some background info on all the houses (or as many as possible)?

To the best of my knowledge (which, admittedly, is several years out of date) Elothean Studies is the best source for information on the Houses.
You can find the book in game, or google it to find a copy online.

The one for Gilded Longleaf is outside the city to the northeast. It's very pretty. I raided the pantry.

Elothean Houses

Been spending some quality time exploring these, going to say it again, wow! Lots of work went into them and it's a pleasure to see everything!
Wanted to post a little bug though. I imagine that something just didn't get toggled in the Grey Storm towers after the release when everyone can explore. However, the bug is:
When you go into the west tower, and try to go up the stairs, you get the 'only house member' messaging. However, if you go in the east tower, you can go up the stairs just fine, go all the way to the top, take the sky bridge over and wreak havoc in the west tower un-checked.
Such nice work though, although the Gilded Longleaf one IS the best one, hands down...no bias there at all either. :P

There's currently no way to change your House, unfortunately. The reason for this is that most Elotheans are born into their house, and that you don't actually join the house. You just "register" what you already were. Sorry!

A number of them are out, but we still don't have Ivory Scroll, Silk Strings and Gentle Lion. And Glittering Diadem, but I didn't imagine they would make one for that House since you can't join it as a player.
