The Clan of Ardon -- SlimeMage's Clan

== Structure ==
The Clan of Ardon is traditionally ruled by the Three-Handed Gear, who advise with the wider clan but keep all final decisions between the three of them. Roles in the Three-Handed Gear are generally inherited as per the history of the role. Beyond the Three-Handed Gear, there are also people who are heads of smaller groups. For example, every group scouting for good, battling Beastclans, or making improvements on the clans infrastructure has a leader. The leader may be a member of the Three-Handed Gear, but not necessarily.
=== The Three-Handed Gear ===
The Three-Handed Gear is the term for the three person ruling body of the clan of Ardon. Each iteration of the Three-Handed Gear must have three roles filled: The Ethics of the Three-Handed Gear, the Wisdom of the Three-Handed Gear, and the Meditation of the Three-Handed Gear.

=== Pre-founding ===
Little record remains of the history of the ancestors before the founding of the clan of Ardon. All that is known is that a couple by the name of Chacana and Aguamenti were, for reasons unknown, forced to flee their old clan in the Shrieking Wilds. They ran from their attackers and ended up making their last stand in the Lightning Farm. Near death, Chacana and Aguamenti told their three newly hatched children named Tereshka, Calanthe, and Erenell, "My children, we sought a new land, a safe land, and worked together to arrive here. Do not lose sight of what you came from, nor of each other." With his dying breath Aguamenti carried Chacana to the Tempest Spire to give themselves to the service of the Stormcatcher in exchange for protection for their children as they grew.
=== The Hungry Years ===
The Stormcatcher granted Chacana and Aguamenti's request for protection for their children, but life was still very hard for the three orphans. As they grew and saw the difficulty of life in the Shifting Expanse, they decided to band together to form the Three-Handed Gear. They named their clan Ardon because that was a word found on a shattered piece of rock where their parents spoke to them the last time.
During the Hungry Years, while training in the art of war, the clan was visited by
