World Facts
Clan Charsa (Miners)
What ancient prophesy of this clan (Charsa) is linked to the Shadow?
One day, we will unearth the Heart of the Mountain which light that banishes the Shadow.
Why do all the other clans respect the Charsa? Wealth.
Clan Dothas (Mystics)
What makes Clan Dothas indispensable to the others?
They perform marriages.
What tragedy was the Dothas in the forefront of? They sanctioned arranged weddings, thus taking away the woman's agency in forming the union.
Your clan was the only one that voted against dissolving the clans. Why did the rest of the clans vote against you, and why did you go along with them anyway? The Dothas believe in the sanctity of marriage, so they stuck to tradition. The rest of the clans voted against them because they saw what was happening. The Dothas eventually went along with the others because they feel that they cannot bring the other clans if they are outsiders.
Clan Molthas (Rugged Mountaineers)
Why is the Molthas clan so reclusive and how is this different from how they once were?
They believe that their bloodline holds a secret and are obsessed with maintaining the purity of their blood. They now engage in ritual infanticide to keep the purity of the line.
What ancient mountain fortress do the Molthas hold? The Aerie
Your clan is the one that first encountered the Shadow. How did you find out about it, and what happened? There were a group of hunters, including Tovy and her brother. They witnessed changes in the forest but didn't understand the scope of the threat. Some left to warn the clan but the others scouted. Those that left fell to the Shadow.
Why did that encounter leave a wound your clan can never recover from? Tovy's bother slew the old king - regicide
And which clan blames your clan for everything that happened after? Charsa blames them.
Most of the women in your clan revelled in the violence that occurred during the Shadow’s earliest incursions. What did they do that crossed the line? The Molthas should have retreated in the face of the Shadow, but didn't because of pride. As a result, their men fell to the Shadow and they know it.
Who outside the clan knows about it? The Charsa know about it.
Were you one of them? I (Lomo) reveled in the violence but now I feel sick about it.
What do Molthas look like? Fair skin, hair shaved back on the sides, pulled back, or braided, to keep it out of our faces all the time.
Clan Morsh (Traders)
What hero came from this clan and what were they famous for?
Syri of Morsh overthrew Janice because everything she did was too costly.
Why is this clan’s political position unassailable? The Clan's position is unassailable because they control trade.
Clan Richti (Nomads)
What sacred object is this clan reputed to possess?
The Sky Stone, a meteorite, from which they are able to make mystical weapons and artifacts.
Which clan did Richti split from? They split off from the Royshan
Clan Royshan (Warriors)
Why do all of the other clans fear their warriors?
They have advanced unit training (i.e., Spartans, Janissaries) as a cultural upbringing other clans view as taboo.
What secret knowledge does this clan possess that they have sworn never to use against the other clans? They know of basic explosives but won't ever use or share that knowledge.
Clan Sharn (Hunters & Gatherers)
What tyrant came from Clan Sharn and what small good came from their reign?
Janice the Unyielding developed a curriculum for training the hunters and gatherers so they're more prepared than they used to be.
What key area do the Sharn still control?
They still hold the Forest of Janice.
After the first attack by the Shadow, your clan was to play a vital role in the early response. What was your clan supposed to do, and why were you not able to do that? Yeli's clan was supposed to scout out the extent of the corruption. They failed because they were supposed to share the responsibilities with the Dothas but they didn't trust them and went another way.
What do you wish you could have done differently? Sucked up their pride and did the job as it was assigned to them.
Clan Thason (Herders & Equestrians)
What ancient transgression do people say this clan committed?
Moved freely over the old border.
What does this clan offer that no other can? Created kvass, offering inebriation! Maybe this gives them visions that upset the Dothas? Or maybe a concentrated form of Kvass is used by the Dothas oracles to see the answers?
'Clan Thedon (Builders and Masons)
Which important site built by this clan do they still hold?
They built and still hold Thelsten's Tor.
What unique physical trait do members of this clan share? Golden eyes.
Clan Toltho (Craftsfolk & Farmers)
What relic did the Toltho create and which clan currently holds it?
A multi-headed idol where each face is an animal is carved out of granite. It is 8" tall and 5" around. They still hold it but everyone, especially the Dothas clan, covets it.
What is unusual about the eyes from the Toltho clan? They are super dark, black like the night of a New Moon.
Your clan suffered the deepest losses, with only a few dozen survivors of the initial disaster. Which clan do you blame for your losses? The Toltho blames the Royshan because they could not defend them from the Shadow.
