			=== Silin Manse ===
			"Asaniefa’s viridian carpets and creamy marble walls, the bronze busts and the fresh flower arrangements." The manse is 'well inland' and offers "hunting lodges and fine horses and the promise of ships at the coast" as entertainment for males.

			==== Post-Coup ====
	Asaniefa was disbanded after the coup, and the nobles that weren't killed were demoted to the tenantry and scattered into other Houses' lands. "Scattering Asaniefa shocked the remaining Houses antagonistic to Liolesa’s aims into wary retreat, but did not dissuade them from their views. Hirianthial thought that a few decades would accustom them sufficiently to the conveniences of the Alliance to prevent any uprising as obvious as the one Surela had spearheaded, but Liolesa remained unconvinced." <ref name="lais-epi">''[[Laisrathera (Fiction) \| Laisrathera]]'', Epilogue</ref>		Asaniefa was disbanded after the coup, and the nobles that weren't killed were demoted to the tenantry and scattered into other Houses' lands.

			Fassiana offered the Asaniefa nobles settled in Galare the choice of joining the family to work toward Liolesa's aims or to join the tenants, and twenty took her up on it. “Asaniefa’s noble families numbered some three hundred fifty people,” Lili said. “Of those, Galare absorbed all but fifty. Mathanith is our sole remaining ally and they are far less populous than we are. My mother offered to see to the settling of Asaniefa amid all the Galare families since she heads the northern branch… the Empress, as the head of the western, cannot afford to put her hand on it, as you can imagine.”<ref>''[[Farmer's Crown (Fiction)\|Farmer's Crown]],'' Chapter 4</ref>

			Later, Lisinthir makes the case for folding the tenant villages that remained in Asaniefa under Imthereli's flag (with the land split between Imthereli and Laisrathera to give Liolesa's enemies more than one target for their ire). "He'd wanted those towns for Imthereli since Sediryl’s visits had acquainted him with them. How could he not respond to the obstinacy that had inspired them to refuse to be deprived of their homes because of the acts of nobles they couldn’t control? Those Eldritch belonged to his future, the one he wanted to forge with his House. He wanted to reward their spirit, and see what they would do if he gave them a path out of meaninglessness."<ref>[[Dragons' Fealty (Fiction)\|''Dragons' Fealty'']], Chapter 5</ref>

All rose high in their respective hierarchies, which started a tradition of Asaniefa giving children to the church.

	Asaniefa is interesting that many of its families were created by males in the House who wanted to establish family names of their own. Sometimes this worked out well, as when Harathiel Nila's son Coralan started Osin, which would become the second most successful family in Asaniefa; sometimes it works out horribly, as when his son started Irys, and then drove it into the ground within a generation, impoverishing the family.		Asaniefa is interesting that many of its families were created by males in the House who wanted to establish family names of their own. Sometimes this worked out well, as when Harathiel Nila's son Coralan started Osin, which would become the second most successful family in Asaniefa; sometimes it works out horribly, as when his son started Irys, and then drove it into the ground within a generation, impoverishing the family. Silin's fecundity guaranteed that it would end up the premier family in Asaniefa, something that Nila might have been resigned to had they not been overtaken by their own scion's creation; when Coralan offered to take over the management of the coastline from Nila (whose lands used to extend from central Asaniefa to the coast), it was assumed that it would remain a difficult proposition, particularly since it was hard to find the monsters amid the terrain. But Coralan waged a successful war against the monsters, and his management skills were so good that he made a going concern of what was assumed to be a uselessly rocky coast. He ended up taking over more and more of Nila until he'd pushed his parents' family into central Asaniefa.

			Feelings were mixed about this; Harathiel, Coralan's father, was proud of him, as might be expected of the male of the pair. His mother was angry, since territory translated into power at court, where she spent most of her time.

	Asaniefa was disbanded after the coup, and the nobles that weren't killed were demoted to the tenantry and scattered into other Houses' lands. "Scattering Asaniefa shocked the remaining Houses antagonistic to Liolesa’s aims into wary retreat, but did not dissuade them from their views. Hirianthial thought that a few decades would accustom them sufficiently to the conveniences of the Alliance to prevent any uprising as obvious as the one Surela had spearheaded, but Liolesa remained unconvinced." <ref name="lais-epi">''[[Laisrathera (Fiction) \| Laisrathera]]'', Epilogue</ref>		Asaniefa was disbanded after the coup, and the nobles that weren't killed were demoted to the tenantry and scattered into other Houses' lands.
