TEEbrown 348 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The dwarven clans or "familes" are blood related groups of dwarves. Clans MUST be made of blood related members, very rarely will you find a non blood related family friend in the clan. [so if you want to recruit for your clan, say that you found them in your old family records so they are of your bloodline.] These groups of blood related dwarves from the entirety of the Kingdom of dwarves. The Clans of the dwarves make up the foundation of dwarven society. Everything and all things are centered around the clans, the people. The clans are separated into three groups; noble clans, commoner clans, and elder clans.Elder clans are the most respected clans of the kingdom, descending directly from the sons of Urguan. These days, being of an elder clan holds little perks besides the wealth of the clan. Most power, in dwarven society, is gained through personal endeavours rather than being of blood-line, though members of Elder Clans are often considered to be amongst the nobility of the Kingdom, regardless of their title.Commoner clans are many throughout the kingdom of dwarves. Their numbers variety between different clans as well as holds the bulk of the population in the dwarven kingdom. In order for a commoner clan to respect, the lower clan must repeatedly prove itself to the kingdom and it's dwarves. This would take many years, possibly generations. Exiled clans are clans that have deemed unworthy and dishonorable to live within the halls of Kal'Azgoth or it's surrounding territories. These clans are forced to roam outside of dwarven lands. These members are not allowed to enter the dwarven lands until they either die or have their honor regained. Dead/Inactive clans are clans that were once Elder or Commoner clans but have lack of numbers or willing leaders to lead the clan. These clan threads will not be kept in this subforum but in the Great Library. If, at any time, a clan wishes to be resurrected, a new thread may be made and labeled as a Commoner clan. The old thread will be kept here as a template or reference in case the clan wishes to resurrect itself.To join a clan, approach a clan leader or respected kin, and request that they look into their records for your name. If the clan leader wants you in his clan, he will say that he had found you in his records and invite you to join his kin, sharing the same bloodline. That way, more proper blood related families can be formed that works out in the most convenient way possible.-=Elder Clans=- Goldhand Clan Irongut ClanGrandaxe Clan Starbreaker Clan Stormhammer Clan -=Commoner Clans=- Azaghul Clan Tunnelsmasher Clan Doomforge Clan Strongbrow Clan Irongrinder Clan Thunderfist Clan Grayhammer Clan Mossbeard Clan -=Rebel/Exiled Clans=- -=Dead/Inactive Clans=- Ironbeard Clan Blazebeard Clan Sternbrew Clan Forkbeard Clan Edgehand Clan *Frostbeard Clan* Dawnsworn Clan * = Previous Elder Clan The clan family tree dating back to the original dwarf, Urguan.http://www.familyecho.com/?p=YBKKD&c=urx1zze1s6&f=932061798954485187 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merkaken 516 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is it possible to make a new clan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEEbrown 348 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yes, either by gathering a group of dwarves OOCly and creating new characters all of the same clan, or create come realistic reason why the clan in the making has been spread apart for so long and how it is coming back together.

Merkaken 516 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Got it :) Thanks. --Edited-- Two more questions. So, for starters... Say there's a single descendant left of a clan... Would that be ok, or would that be too typical? Secondly, if that's acceptable, would said descendant be allowed to marry someone of another clan and continue the descendant's clan through children? (Assuming the majority of the children were males.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEEbrown 348 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Got it :) Thanks. --Edited-- Two more questions. So, for starters... Say there's a single descendant left of a clan... Would that be ok, or would that be too typical? Secondly, if that's acceptable, would said descendant be allowed to marry someone of another clan and continue the descendant's clan through children? (Assuming the majority of the children were males.) It is possible for clans to have one remaining member, as some families die out. Concerning the marriage of clans, the said clan's female dwarf would change her last name to the male of the clan that numbers are dwindling. Since clans are just families just more structured, the only thing that would require a clan would be at least two members of blood relation or through marriage.
