Originally established in Riverholm, Abington on Atamara, the family also currently has members in Ibladesh (on the East Continent), Toren (on the South-East Island) and an adventurer in the Far East. The family's name "Arete", is derived from the Greek word ἀρετή, meaning "virtue," or more specifically, "the excellence that makes anything an outstanding specimen of its kind, especially well fitted to its ends". The family motto is
kratestho logon logoi kratousin humon
which translates from Greek as "Master your words, or your words will master you". The family's reputation has grown very quickly, and most believe that it is their adherence to their motto that has brought about their success.

The family also suffers the name of Aaliyah Arete, who was disowned by the family for having relations with a commoner. She was subsequently sent to the Far East "to be the commoner she pretends to be." At first Aaliyah was defiant, but she has learned to appreciate her noble heritage and strives to regain her honour and her family's respect. Alendru is sympathetic towards Aaliyah's circumstances, as he himself would prefer a life beyond "the petty etiquette of nobility." Averyll is disdainful towards Aaliyah, as she believes that "nothing is more important than serving the realm." Aeryn is indifferent towards Aaliyah, as she is concerned only for "the general good and welfare of the people of Abington."
