The Outlands Clan

The Outlands Clan is a shadow clan that has been around for at least 500 years (in-universe).
(write better summary later)
== History ==
It was created by a group of young dragons exiled from their clans, having decided to take in the unwanted, the lonely, and the "fodder".
The leader was a tundra named "Merine", with 2 protectors, a spiral named "Kezi", and a banescale named "Zeirin", and a soulkeeper by the name of "Reaper".
Because of the fact the leader of the time found exaltation absurd, which was the reason she was exiled, she forbade it, a practice that has been persistent even to this day.
The current leader, Index, came to power due to the fact that they were, in fact, a reincarnation of a previous leader(??????????????????????????????????????????? idk).
== Soulkeepers/Soulkeeper’s Curse ==
Soulkeepers are who supposedly help the souls of dead dragons in the Outlands clan move on to the afterlife, usually with but a single touch. This comes at a cost, however, as the Soulkeeper cannot touch any living being, lest they risk killing them. Usually, soulkeepers-to-be are named with names relating to souls or death (i.e Spirit or Soulblinker.).
There can only be one at a time, due to it being nigh-impossible to have multiple at the same time.
The ritual to transfer the soulkeeper abilities and roles onto a new soulkeeper goes as such:
# The current soulkeeper must be deceased.
# The new soulkeeper will touch the old one's corpse, thus, through a curse, transferring the title of soulkeeper onto the new dragon.
# The new soulkeeper will take the soul of an offering (almost always a small animal, not a familiar or dragon) to the shadowbinder.
# The new soulkeeper will be the official soulkeeper of the clan until death.
There is a small... caveat, to this.
The current Soulkeeper, Spirit, accidentally touched the corpse of the previous Soulkeeper, Soulblinker... thus bringing him back to life. This suggests that the souls don't move on, and instead stay with the soulkeeper until death.
Soulblinker does not appear to have retained the soulkeeper's curse.
