The Elemental Clans

The Elemental Clans are ten separate clans throughout Mobius who serve The Elemental Remnants. Each clan is tied to a particular god or goddess.
While the Remnants themselves typically get along (due to all of them technically being siblings), the clans themselves don't always see eye-to-eye. The biggest conflicts happen between the two clans who serve the opposite element; for example, the Light Clan often fights with the Dark Clan. However, some of the Clans do get along with each other, such as with the Water and Ice Clan being allies.

==History==
The Elemental Clans were first established a very long time ago, but rather than ten separate Clans, they were ten separate Mobians, each gifted with one of the ten main Elements, and each of them were said to be spiritually connected to the God or Goddess they worshiped. They consisted of;
#Archon Ghriosai Pyrestorm (a Blazebear); master of Fire and worshiper of Fiamme
#Archon Nivalis Frostwind (a Borealynx); master of Ice and worshiper of Kyanos
#Archon Zacchera Riverspell (a Rainseal); master of Water and worshiper of Neso
#Archon Kaminari Thunderborn (a Fulgurfox); master of Electricity and worshiper of Haeos
#Archon Szelvihar Stormcaller (an Airbat); master of Wind and worshiper of Khazri
#Archon Leriga Stoneclaw (a Geochidna); master of Earth and worshiper of Temblor
#Archon Radieux Lightbringer (a Suncat); master of Light and worshiper of Celeritas
#Archon Iluntasun Blackspire (a Duskwolf); master of Darkness and worshiper of Voidstar
#Archon Goedwig Evergreen (a Grassdeer); master of Nature and worshiper of Mokuhana
#Archon Tigedus Fellsting (a Venorat); master of Poison and worshiper of Dantamu
The ten founders lived together in peace, until they began to wonder; who's Element was the superior one? They began to argue over who was the strongest. The arguments soon escalated into combat, and the ten former friends moved far away from each other. 
*Ghriosai Pyrestorm moved to the Scorching Plains of Northamer, building a settlement at the base of the dormant volcano known as Infernum Volcus.
*Nivalis Frostwind moved to the Gelid Forest of Artika, building a settlement within the Gelid Forest.
*Zacchera Riverspell moved to the Emerald Enclave of Soumerca, and settled in what would come to be known as the Golden Cove.
*Kaminari Thunderborn moved to the Guardian Plains of Yurashia, building their settlement atop Stormy Ridge.
*Szelvihar Stormcaller moved to the Emerald Haven Zone of Soumerca, building their settlement within the Windy Valley.
*Leriga Stoneclaw moved to the Cobalt Jungle of Efrika, settling within the Ruins of Sephazer.
*Radieux Lightbringer moved to the Whitewood Zone of Eurish, and eventually erected Hope Tower.
*Iluntasun Blackspire moved to the Dusklight Forest of Eurish, settling within the Fearful Caverns.
*Goedwig Evergreen moved to the Great Forest of Northamer, building a settlement there.
*Tigedus Fellsting moved to the Stone Stormlands Zone of Northamer, building a settlement there. Many, many years down the line, the Poison Clan's village was attacked by the Eggman Empire, and they were forced to relocate. A younger Sonic the Hedgehog helped the Poison Clan reclaim their home, tearing down the factory that had been built there and using the remains to rebuild.

===Clan Code===
All ten of the Clans follow a specific code. Even the most ingrained xenophobia must give way to the Clan Code, exemplified with Rule #2.
#One will not strike down a surrendering foe, regardless of their alliance and species (I.E a Dark Clan soldier is not allowed to slay a Light Clan soldier who has surrendered and no longer wishes to fight). This does not pertain to malicious Trolls.
#Surrendering enemies must be allowed to retreat. The only exception is if they are unable to travel due to wounds, therefore see Rule #4.
#One will absolutely not harm a child or senior, or one who is visibly impaired.
#One will give shelter to those in need.
#One will be respectful to their fellow Clanspeople, regardless of their status, gender, species, etc. This applies to the archon and their apostle as much as everyone else.
#At least 5 soldiers, battle mages and/or knights are required to accompany a trader's caravan if they are traveling through a known danger zone.
==Species Found==
Unlike the Nihlic Clan of Nihlus, where membership is merit-based (thus all kinds of species and beings have been seen among their ranks); the Elemental Clans have only allowed Mobian (including their related kin in the Elemobians, Chimerians, and Mythians) and non-human Celestials and Demons. Trolls, Overlanders and robots are not permitted due to a deeply ingrained mistrust of the former, and the latter being almost exclusively Eggman Empire fodder.
The only exception to this rule is the Poison Clan of Dantamu, who are far more likely to allow Robians to join than other Clans due to the fact that many Robians still hide out in Old Robotropolis, where the Poison Clan is currently located.
==The Clans==
The current Clan leader is known as the Archon, with their chosen second-in-command being known as their Apostle. The title of Archon is passed down through the family, and depending on the current age of the current Apostle, they may move on to advise the new Archon (retirement of both roles is typically at the age of 60).
