Medeir Clans

Usodori Clan

Deep in the lush forests and imposing mountains in the far eastern corner of the land of Nashana, nestled in a valley lies the Usodori clan. Their towns and cities are crafted from the stone of the great mountains that surround their lands, their houses are made out of the trees of the forest themselves. Fierce, strong, and proud they believe in the betterment of the clan as a whole. Therefore infighting is greatly frowned upon. Treachery results in banishment or execution.

Kaminari Clan

South of the Izanagi Clan is the Kaminari clan, located within the marshes of Nashana. Their architecture is made out of clay and wood. They have little natural protection and have to contend with the most amount of predators. They are the most battle-hardened of the clans, while they usually do not seek conflict, they have no reservations of war. Masters of stealth and covering their tracks. They too believe in the strength of the clan as a whole but for those that break clan laws, their fate is unknown.

Nichiren Clan

In the northern eternal frozen ice fields, Nashana lies the harsh ice fields that the Nichiren Clan calls home. Of all the clans, this clan is the most durable, tempered by the never-ending winter of the northern lands. They live in builds made of ice, the only abundant resource found in the frozen wasteland. Simple things such as wood are seen as precious. Their harsh lifestyle makes them harsh and angry. They do not believe in alliances, believing their clan is the only clan that deserves to survive. Merciless in battle and without pity.

Miyazu Clan

In the center of Nashana lies the Great Plains, home of the Miyazu clan. This clan uses wood for their buildings. This clan has the fiercest of fortifications, with large stone walls guarding its more valued settlements. Villages have little to offer for defense. This clan prefers trade and diplomacy as opposed to battle but will go to war if need be. This clan values honor and valor in battle, those that dishonor the clan are dealt with most harshly.

Kappa Clan

To the south of the Great Plains is a dense jungle of which few of who enter make it out again. In the midst of the near-impenetrable jungle lies the Kappa clan. The Kappa clan are even more secretive than the Kaminari. They excel in hiding and ambushing, knowing their way around the harsh wilderness of Nashana. So secretive are the Kappa that they kill any who threaten to leave, doing anything to protect their secrets.

Their settlements surround large bodies of water. They bravely fight off sea monsters to add to their reputations. The Tenjin prefer peace and avoid war at all costs.

Amanozako Clan

Thrown by the surface clans as a vile curse, the Amanozako climb the underground as their land. It is said they hate sunlight as much as they hate each other. They come to the surface world at night, hunting for victims. Not much is known of their world, just of their lack of morals. Known for their love of depravity, ambitious, and hate-driven they betray one another in the hopes of gaining power. This clan will allow any exiled warrior from another clan to join its ranks if they prove themself worthy but treat those that do as third-class citizens.
