Verdish Clans

== Intro ==
Clans are powerful organizations and families within Verdish culture. It is important to note that this is the only reason for a Verditian to have a surname.
Having a surname shows allegiance to a powerful family/organization within the society, or a direct lineage to a famous/powerful Verditian. They usually take the name of the member who earned the right to start a clan (but not always).
Some Clans have interesting ways of attaching the clan title to a name. The most common is derived from the Residen Clan tradition of adding a clan title after your name. For example: This is why Safar isn't known as "Safar Residen" But instead as Safar the Residen.
However some clans such as the La'Kaiven put the title before the name such as La'Kere and La'Dor.
Not all clans have the same membership qualifications. For example the Residen clan is only for direct descendants of Safar and Loth, as well as the immediate married families. While the Vatagaskin clan derives its membership from a spiritual creed tied to the Kelm Knights.
Verdish clans are often the center-point of political movements and have been known to hold family rivalries, causing much turmoil in the political world.

=== Hecatoncheires ===
"The hundred arm clan." This clan is renowned for both spear and javelin mastery. Members of this clan have often become some of the greatest warriors within the Axith division of the army.
=== Madamar ===
The Madamar are a small clan mostly comprised of woodland peoples. The Madamar, alongside Kelm-Worship have a heavy reverence for the goddess of mystic: Bedievan. This, sometimes bizarre, shamanistic lifestyle is ill-suited for city life, so they remain in more isolate areas of southern Verdite.
