The purpose of the Seven Houses is to provide proper childhoods for children, similar to the Birthday Ceremony outsiders have.[1]

Houses

Migration

“ As the mind of the child matures, they and their parents travel upstream to the next House, where the kids become toddlers. After a year or two, the family travels to the third House, and so forth. This way, kids have a chance to have proper childhoods. It is a happy time for the families, and moving on to the next House is a big event for the children, akin to the Birthday Ceremony you Outsiders have. ”

― Ananke about the Seven Houses,
Chapter 1319 House of Youth

The city migrates upstream each generation, allowing young ones to have children of their own. It is also that their parents grow a little older with each migration. However, the longevity of Riverborns is long, and the future is more forgiving than the past. The eldest ones assume guidance roles in the Seven Houses.[1]

The city may reach a point where older populations cannot migrate anymore.[1]

Trivia

  • In Chapter 1320, the last three of the Seven Houses in Weave were nowhere to be found.
