That essentially put them at the mercy of the other Houses (Dzemael and Durendaire specifically). House Haillenarte doesn't quite have much funds, spreading themselves thin trying to bolster their Sea of Clouds outpost. Their youngest son, Francel, was friends with Haurchefant (Their story is in the Tales from the Dragonsong War). One of the sons died in the loss of Steel Vigil.Â
Is it Haillenarte that lost Stone Vigil? Almost all the flavor text for it I can find refers to House Durendaire.Â
The descriptions for Stone Vigil normal and HM respectively:
“One of four watchtowers built along the Sea of Clouds by the city-state of Ishgard, the Stone Vigil was overrun and occupied by the Dravanian Horde not long after the Calamity. The following years have seen the knights of House Durendaire make several attempts at reclaiming the fortress, but to no avail. What could it be that thwarts their every effort?â€
“Too long has the Stone Vigil been ravished by the Dravinians and their thralls; too long has House Durendaire suffered this infamy. Time has come for its dragoons to retake the fortress, ten hundred lances and a thousand dreams of vengeance strong. Though the knights of Ishgard breach the gate to find a lodgment within the Vigil, the enemy is well-defended and amply supplied. This deadlock must be broken─and who better than those who once made free of the fortress under the dragons' very noses, and lived to tell the tale?â€
This seems to suggest that Stone Vigil was lost by Durendaire. Where is it written that it was initially lost by Haillenarte?
