Comprised of people of many races, the clans are very independent and often war amongst themselves. Some clans tend to be nomadic and are defined more by their activities and the terrain they prefer than the territories they frequent. Other clans have settled into a specific area and fight to defend the places they have claimed as their homes. Spread throughout the Wildlands, many clans are subdivided into smaller groups.
Clans typically number from 75 to several hundred (or more) members, and most are spread out across large areas, sometimes intermingling with other clans. The nomadic families tend to have high numbers of members because of their custom of taking in refugees. Each clan has a number of teachers that pass on their core knowledge and skills to members of that clan.
