Redoran settlements are designed in the Dunmer village style, built of local materials, with organic curves and undecorated exteriors inspired by the landscape and by the shells of giant native insects. A light, careless life is not worth living. Piety is respect for the gods, and the virtues they represent. Life is hard, and events must be judged, endured, and reflected upon with due care and earnestness. Gravity is the essential seriousness of life. Duty is to one's own honor, and to one's family and clan. The Redoran prize the virtues of duty, gravity, and piety. House Redoran is one of the three Dunmer Great Houses with holdings on Vvardenfell. Finding a councilor to sponsor an outlander often involves performing a great service for the prospective sponsor. Adoption and advancement to higher ranks in a Great House requires that a Great House councilor stand as sponsor for the candidate's character and loyalty. Later, after faithful service and advancement in lower ranks, an outlander may seek adoption into a Great House. Initially an outlander may gain status in a house as an oath-bonded hireling, pledging exclusive loyalty to a single house and forsaking ambitions with all other houses.
Dunmer Great House membership is largely a matter of birth and marriage, but Imperial colonists may also become retainers of a Great House, or may be adopted into a Great House. The Great Houses traditions derive from ancient Dunmer clan and tribes, but now function as political parties. Thus, members of House Hlaalu may be referred to collectively as Yellows. The three Great Houses on Vvardenfell identify themselves by their traditional colors: red for Redoran, yellow for Hlaalu, and brown for Telvanni. Only three of these Houses have interests in Vvardenfell.
In modern times Morrowind is ruled by five Great Houses: House Hlaalu, House Redoran, House Telvanni, House Indoril, and House Dres.
