The colors of House Saighan are red, yellow and silver. The sign of House Saighan is a silver diamond on a red and yellow checked field.[1] The High Seat of House Saighan was Colavaere Saighan who was crowned Queen of Cairhien after the death of King Galldrian Riatin, but after nine days of her reign, she was deposed by Rand al'Thor, who reduced her to the status of a commoner and sentenced her to live out the rest of her life on a farm. Colavaere committed suicide by hanging rather than face such a disgrace.

Colavaere was succeeded by her cousin Bertome Saighan as High Seat. He eventually supported Elayne Trakand as Queen of Cairhien on the condition that he was offered a portion of the Andoran estates of Arymilla Marne, Elenia Sarand and Naean Arawn.

Dairaine Saighan is another member of House Saighan. She was taken as gai'shain by the Shaido.
