The High Clans
In the years after High King Ian's
departure, turmoil erupted, very similar to the Time of Chaos prior to the establishment of a High King. The
restless clans of Eyru began their struggle to fill the power
vacuum (an event known as The
Divide).
From these times of war, four clans emerged as leaders. Clan Faough,
Clan Steairn, Clan Tairan and Clan Erinin. Clan Tairan, the clan left
in charge by the lost High King who had no heir, stood by their duty.
Clan Steairn, hungry for power, challenged that claim. Those of Faough
left the world of men and war for the dark woods of the wolf. Finally,
Erinin tried to reunite them all and was betrayed, fighting in the end
for her own clan's survival. This section details the differences among
the clans; geographically, ideologically and societal.

*NOTE: Each page gives a
"general alignment" for each High Clan. It shouldn't be
assumed that each individual of any given clan must be of this
alignment. This is simply a commentary on who would feel most at
home in that High Clan's society.
