Clan Wodesome

"Patience Before Profit"

 

Brief History

 

The Wodesome family has its roots as a large one made up of
mostly craftsmen and traders. The family was able to start a small business
because of its size. Many of the Wodesomes were set to manufacturing materials
and good which the other Wodesomes would take to trade with Southron merchants.
The oldest records of the Wodesome family point to a man named Rolo Wodesome
who married into the Marsh family, a little known one at that time. Rolo
married Sarah Marsh and thus began  the
trading dynasty. Unfortunately the Wodesomes were then banished along with the
rest of the Adunians by King Owyn Godwinson. They were fortunate, however. Due
to their commercial roots, the Wodesomes were able to charter a ship to occupy
prime lands while in exile. A bad stroke hit the Wodesomes then, though as
Addawulf Wodesome and his children were stranded on an island with fewer
resources than they had first perceived. For generations, the Wodesomes and
several other families lived on that island biding their time, for they knew
that the dark times could not last forever. Through the ages, the unthinkable
happened, but the family still managed to hang onto that barren patch of rock.
One winter, however proved particularly fatal, as the remaining two other
families on the island died of starvation, leaving only the Wodesomes; Cenhelm
Wodesome and his three sons, Erik, Cenric and Aed. Knowing that another winter
could mean the end, the two older brothers set out for a homeland they had
never seen before in the hope of finding a restored Adunian society. What they
found was not what they had hoped for, they had expected utopia and gotten
reality, but nonetheless, the Adunians were returning to prominence, and the
two brothers set to finding their destiny in the service of the High King.

 

Clan Symbols

 

Clan Tartan

 

Clan Sigil

The wings represent our ships, as fast as hawks. The Saex is our one and most cherished heirloom, the saex of our great ancestor Rolo Wodesome. The colors of our sigil are very significant. The blue represents the sea on a fair day, or the sky on an even fairer. On the adverse, the silver represents stormy skies that can prove as much a blessing as a curse.

 

Traditions

 

One of the most prominent traditions of the Wodesome clan is it's mercantile heritage, though that is not to mistake the Wodesomes for cravens. It is one thing to pack goods onto a ship and sail it from port to port. Another thing entirely is it to protect said cargo from those who would wish to lazily reap rewards from the hard work of honest men. This upbringing, along with the spartan childhood of the Wodesome Brothers has gifted the Wodesomes with a certain steel as well as a knack for stewardship.

 

It should also be noted that the Wodesomes are no enemies of insubordination, in fact it often leads them to clearer decisions. In the most dire of circumstances, any member of the Wodesome may challenge his superior to a challenge of arms if they feel their superior is not performing to adequacy. This challenge of skill is rarely thrown down, so if the challenged refuses the contest, he will face dire shame and near certain demotion. 

 

The clan is also very pious, and while it is not a central focus of the family, it is vehemently opposed to not be a member of the Old Faith
