R’Ikarth Clan History Among the lands that resided along the wide river near Helena, in arcas, between the swamps and peculiar creatures a lone ker was recruited with other hunters from Talhoffer to aid with the clearing of the area from the surrounding threats of his manor. This led to the founding of the original Esbec, the roots of the R’Ikarth clan and its traditions. In fact the clan takes lots of traditions, trials and customs from the past generations, its founder directly coming from a simple family of hunters: the R’enar family. The clan was officially recognized with the founding of Stygian Hollow, acquiring its first clan house and slowly making an influence in the Urguani lands, gaining another clan house in Huaven thanks to the good relations with clan Redfist. With the fall of Stygian Hollow the clan transferred its main clan house in the current dark elven settlement Nor’Asath. Culture The art of Hunting Before there were R’ikarths, there were R’enars. And with all R’enars, were their sabres and scimitars. A curious choice of armament for woodland hunters, and yet, it was tradition for members of their clan to wield such blades. While sabers and scimitars can be used in combat against fellow Descendants, the R’enars preferred to use them while hunting game, Dangerous game. In the best of circumstances, a hunter need only their bow to perform their task. To stalk the woods in search of their quarry, braving the wilderness and all the perils that come with it. And then, once their target is in sight, they are to line up a fatal shot, and let loose. And yet, not all hunts go quite as smoothly, especially when dealing with BEASTS and DEMONS. Why are woodland hunters fighting such creatures? I don’t know. Don’t ask. Either way, that is when the hunter’s sabers and scimitars come into play. The R’enars have developed a style of dual wielding for such a purpose, allowing them to fend off a ravenous foe, and unleash their own flurry of blows upon the creature. Though such a method of combat may be dealt with by a plated warrior’s retort, a R’enar’s sabers and scimitars were never meant to cross blades with another. The Crow and its significance According to R’ikarthi traditions the crow is an animal that carries luck and is a symbol of good change. The R’ikarth Clan is always changing and evolving as it goes forward with the generations. Its feathers are a symbol of luck and are gifted among the clan members as a sign of gratitude, trust and hope. Family and Unity The clan is known for having members that do not belong to to the founder’s bloodline. That reason is that the concept of family for the R’Ikarth clan is greatly different than most, while blood relation between family members may be highly respected it is not a means to outrank, distrust and exclude other members and leave them out of the family tree. A new family member will commonly be accepted into the family either through adoption, acceptance and acknowledgement from the clan members. So the thread that binds the member of the family surpasses the bindings of blood and creates a connection solely based upon the feeling of unity, acceptance and membership. Traditions The Crowfall Forged by the first head of the R’ikarths in a rite of initiation, the Crowfall was made in the image of his spiritual animal, and it embodies the clan founder’s wishes for prosperity, luck, and wisdom for his family. Rite of first blood A combined tradition with both R’enari and Maskarran influences. Owing to their extensive hunting tradition, it was a rite of passage in the clan of R’enar for young boys to track and hunt a stag all by themselves before they could be considered an adult. In both Old and New Esbec, which were monster hunting towns created with a great deal of Maskarran influences, it was required for a prospective Jaeger to prove their worth in combat against a dangerous beast or monster before they could be accepted into the fold. As an inheritor of these traditions, the R’ikarth family has a trial that incorporates both of their aspects. A prospective member of the family, or a boy who is ready to come of age, will be sent to track and hunt a dangerous beast or monster. They shall be followed by a member of the clan for safety precautions, but if all goes well, they shall carry out their task without help. Upon the completion of the rite, the remains of the slain creatures, usually being blood, will be sprinkled onto a hot ingot of slayersteel. The ingot will then be fashioned into a signet ring bearing the R’karth crest on top, and the name of its bearer at the bottom. The ring shall then be presented to its new owner, who may then use it to stamp the wax of their letters and documents. Clan Armor The clan armor is composed of light plated steel armor placed onto black steel chainmail, it lets the wearer keep great flexibility while having good protection upon vital parts and moderate protection into the gaps. The armor is decorated with golden details and a golden rope is wrapped onto the belt of the chest plate and holds a draping cloth that covers the leg gambeson in a skirt-like cut. Onto the belt there is a medium leather bag and two scabbard attachments at each side of the hips. The helmet resembles a Sutton Hoo helmet and its mask is unique for each member and personally forged by them, the helmet itself is secured by straps under the chin and is wrapped in a sash, making only the mask visible. The meaning of the mask The mask that every clan member carries proudly upon their helmet is a reflection of their soul, personality and mind forged onto the golden symbolic metal. It is forged by hand from the wearer after a vocation has been found as a rite of passage to symbolize one’s identity and personality, distinguishing oneself from others. The meaning of color GOLD Gold is the signature color of the clan, it symbolizes the bond between each member, membership to the family, unity and trust. Every member will wear something golden upon their clothing as in the clan’s beliefs it brings good luck and emphasizes the bond between them. RED Power, determination and passion, those are the traits of those that wear the color red and any of its shades and are affiliated with the role of leadership. Those that bring this color upon their clothing tend to be spontaneous, intuitive but reckless and violence may be the first option for them. Role: Leaders. GREEN The color of nature, force, security and health, those that bring green onto their clothes tend to be experts in medicine and herbalism and are experienced warriors that protect their kin. Those who have this color tend to be protective and do not trust outsiders easily. Role: Warriors, Medics, skilled Hunters. BLUE AND CYAN Control, wisdom, trust and stability, these are a handful of the traits of those that bring this color and its variants with pride. They are the ones that have great knowledge and teach their kin everything they know. They tend to be the voice of reason between the others. Role: Librarians, Archivers, Teachers. PURPLE AND PINK Creativity, Change, innovation and youth. Those that bring new things among their kin, they love to organize hunts, festivities and events of any kind. They are cheerful, active and inspiring individuals with a creative mind. Role: Event organizers, Recruiters. BLACK AND DARK GRAY black cloths will be used only on special occasions such as special operations and events as they hold a symbolic importance. WHITE AND GRAY Neutral colors, those who still have not found their vocation will wear such colors. Role: recruits, new members.
