I'm surprised to read in here that Caldera is a Hlaalu town. Before I read any of this thread I would say
(Note italics which denote I WOULD have said this) It is true that of the three houses, the Hlaalu get along best with the Imperials, and this is evidenced by the fact that in Balmora, the Mages and Fighter's Guilds are smack in the middle of town and the Thieves' guild at a competely different location, whereas in Ald'ruhn all Imperial guilds are rounded up at the extremity of the city, and in Sadrith Mora they're practically banished and huddle outside the city in or around Wolverine Hall. It's also stated in the game that Hlaalu get along best with the Imperials...
But Caldera, like Pelagiad, Seyda Neen, Gnisis, and Ebonheart are Imperial cities. It is true that house Hlaalu have agents in Caldera and in Ebonheart, but that doesn't make them into a Hlaalu city. The giveaway is the town guard. Look at a city or village and you'll see the guards on the streets and in the shops will be Imperial, Ordinator, or aligned with one of the houses. That's your clue! Hlaalu cities are Gnaar Mok, Balmora, Suran, and Hla Oad. Tromping about Ebonheart are Imperial guards, not Hlaalu, so there's no way Caldera is a Hlaalu town!
But you all seem so convinced that Caldera is Hlaalu... where are you getting this from? Don't tell me you think Ebonheart is Hlaalu too because Duke Vedam Dren is there...?
