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.

Clan Tairan, The Loyalists

Clan Steairn, The Heretic

Clan Faough, The Wolf-kin

Clan Erinin, The Peacemaker

*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.
