Jai Clan Residence

Jai Clan Residence appears in Cradle.

The Jai Clan Residence serves as the ancestral stronghold of the Jai clan, a once-dominant sacred-artist family whose fortunes collapse over the course of the Cradle series. Initially a symbol of regional power and rigid hierarchy, the estate becomes the site of internal betrayal, external invasion, and ultimate ruin. By the later books, the once-impenetrable walls stand as a hollow reminder of the clan’s fall, its halls repurposed or abandoned as new powers reshape the Ashen Lake region.
