The House Renaissance was announced in 655 AF. In an effort to add clarity to its vision for houses, the Garden presented a refocused paradigm for these organisations. This new system proposed a more cohesive, symbolic relationship between houses and their respective cities. Implementing the system required closing the existing houses. This led to the rise of new houses established by adventurers. While each new house embraced a unique identity, its foundation exemplified its respective city's ideas as a whole.
