The tribe is led by Blades of Aaramor Chief Rothgar, who must balance his loyalty to the Black Sovereign, the town's defense, the relationship between the townsfolk and tribe, and the fiscal demands of the Technic League. The result is a membership that includes dwarves and half-orcs. Membership to the Blades is a birthright, but the tribe allows for adoption of outsiders who pledge loyalty to the tribe above all other considerations, including race. In exchange, they collect tribute from residents of the fortress city and its surroundings.

The Blades continue to uphold their end of ancient pacts that charge them with defending Numeria from threats and invasions from their north. Īfter the opening of the Worldwound in 4606 AR, Aaramor became Numeria's first line of defense against the demonic hordes. In 1521 AR, Aaramor's ruler had its northern stone bridge replaced with a fragile wooden bridge to deter giants from crossing the West Sellen River. The city once defended the border against the giant-kin and barbarians of Sarkoris.

Aaramor's construction was ordered in 1305 AR by legendary Numerian kings and named after the Blades' founder.
