The Black Ice Stronghold

(note: this is a Fallen Clan. There are no members of it alive or wandering around Sornieth, for they have all passed away. Descendants could be wandering around or living elsewhere, perhaps, though most born in the Stronghold stayed until the end.)
The Black Ice Stronghold was a medium-sized Ice clan located near the border of the Cloudscrape Crags and The Fortress of Ends. It's not easy to find, due to it not having a single structure above ground. All of it, buildings, nesting grounds, stables, all of it was hidden beneath the surface, within a large crack gouged into the icy ground. They were a secretive clan, hardly going above ground. Only huntings and meetings with other clans, for the most part, brought any members up above, and only a handful of them at most.
They were blessed by the Icewarden for an act they helped Him with long ago, the act that formed the clan to begin with. The original members were blessed with immortality, regeneration, and, most important of all, a general immunity to the Shade. The immunity would pass down to children they had, though as years passed and more hatchlings were born, it started passing less, diluting with each generation. Each Shade-immune child was considered to be a blessing as the Stronghold lived on, and the clan would eventually find a special way to figure out who was immune and who wasn't, since it wasn't visible in the appearance.
The majority of the clan members had a distinctive appearance in their Bipedal form that they would take to interact with clans who also used said form. Always dark-skinned, usually dark-haired, with the sclera of their eyes often matching the colour of their tertiary due to Capsule being one of most common genes among them. This made their blood the colour of their capsule tertiary as well, making scars usually stand out against the dark skin. There were light-skinned members in the clan, usually either originally outsiders or children of outsiders that joined the clan after it started up. There were a good number with tinted skin and uncoloured sclera due to the Stained gene, often descendants of the original founder.
And they were Shade Hunters, through and through. That was their purpose. They weren't nomadic, and some dragons didn't leave the caves at all, but commonly, multiple members would be out and away, on the hunt to take down more Shade creatures.

=== The Initiation ===
One thing that was kept completely secret from the outside world, was their Initiation practice, also known as a Rite of Passage of sorts. This was how they determined if children born in the clan were Shade-Immune or not.

== History ==
The clan was founded in the early Modern age, some years after the Gaolers went into hiding. It was long enough after the other breeds were created so they had spread out more along the territories, though large mixed groups were not very common as of yet. The dragons who would begin the clan were such a group, lead by a Wildclaw, followed by mostly Tundra members along with a couple of Skydancers. They were a tough group who lived on their own, with no permanent home as of yet.
