The Radiant Branch was held once every five years on the grounds of the Alderran Family, at the First Wing. This was a tradition because the Alderran Family was the first of the Twelve Branches.
Sure, every high noble family wielded great influence, but the Alderran Family stood out even among the Twelve Branches.
Their family was one of the oldest. They controlled the most elite part of the First Ring, and they had been amassing their power for many hundreds of years.
To some extent, the Alderran Family was the opposite of what was happening in the Ninth Ring, where the chaotic Noukx Family, which had the youngest leader of all the families, held sway.
The Alderran Family was one of the reasons why the Twelve Branches wielded so much influence, and one of the most important events took place on their territory.
