Ilkala

 

History

 

 A newly born clan, founded by the youngest sibling of the Ilkala brothers. A clan, hoping to prove itself in loyalty and efficiency, to the rest of the Ashen Folk, to forge a name for itself amongst the great clans who have preceded it.

 

Formed in 1698, the eldest of Valus Ilkala's offspring, Valus Ilkala II, took charge of the family of miners, the Ilkala. The Ilkala, although having a simple job, did it's best, hoping to thrive amongst the families of Vira'ker. Supplying and selling iron was a humble start, yet soon become a thriving industry for them. Yet Vira'ker fell, splitting the remaining members up, some fleeing to Sutica, others to Llyria. In the end, Valus Ilkala II became lost at sea, with the second in line, Vanautras Ilkala, missing. The last remaining brother, Ryo Ilkala, decided to take up the mantle and restore the family once more, starting in Asimu'lei, where the simple mining industry began to expand, reaching out towards other occupations, such as smithing and jeweling amongst other trades, slowly becoming a clan of no longer miners, but of merchants and traders, with nimble minds, and even nimbler fingers.

 

The Ilkala family, now a clan, set their eyes towards Renelia, using their honed skills as miners and artisans to aid in the construction of Renelia. Having established a place amongst the great clans, the Ilkala now turned their heads towards other business opportunities, such as tavern keeping, taking charge of the Renelian tavern.

 

 

 

Appearance

 

The Ilkala gaze with crimson and violet eyes, yet hues of blue are not uncommon. Manes of silvery white hair resting upon their heads. Being bulky in size due to the efforts of moving goods and swinging a pickaxe, they may seem intimidating, yet most wear a warm smile upon their gaze, a soft tone when speaking, being willing to risk their very lives for the good of their family, and the good of 'ker kind.

 

Workships

 

The Ilkala offer praise to Luara, spirit of the moon, as any ‘ker of good standing should, Bregthar, spirit of the earth, for their love of the underground is immense, and Kulthark, spirit of metal. If the Ilkala love one thing more than the underground, it’s its riches.
