            Ashwood Clan

 

   

            Introduction to the Clan

Have you ever heard the vallah phrase? “All is fair in love and war?”  Across years of living between humans and elves, It is difficult to find another dark elf kin within Atlas. When you find your kin it is an experience that you can't miss. An ideal that forever bonds you.  Ashwood clan is a clan of elves, Primarily dark, to ensure our race will never die out and prevail through the world of vallahs. The White ashwood tree stands for with the blending of the past, present, and future. The ash tree stands for strength, which it gets from its strong roots.The wood of the ash burns with intense heat, even when green. Ashwood symbolises Mastership, power and awareness.

“Talonnii Stands proud like a tree and hears the whispers of the world.”-Wren Ashwood

                    History:

A history forged between two lovers, loss and a new home. History may be the present that once a little bird left the enclave watching it turn to ash, as another  wolf watched his friends die in front of him. Somewhere along the way the two met and married under the vows to Velulaei. It is the past that forges us and the present that helps us pave the word to the future. A history forged with others is better than one left in solitude.

An older ker’ would look upon this newly formed clan as he ask himself “ A clan about family and defending ones people, isn't that definition of a clan? None of the less, history will tell  if these people rise or just fade out of memory” (Great post!)
