Tribe of Clemirosa

The **Tribe of Clemirosa** stands as one of the most storied and divided tribes within the frigid expanse of Avarshi, tracing its origins to the legendary founding sister, Clemirosa herself. This tribal confederation has been a cornerstone of resilience and diplomatic prowess in the North, marked by its leadership under the banner of a *Warmother* or *Scarfather*. For countless years, the tribe experienced the unwavering leadership of the late Ashe, a prominent Warmother who held the heart of her people together, despite the discord that plagued the Northern lands.

## Overview

Comprising loyalists devoted to Ashe and her bloodline, the Clemirosans hold the unique distinction of being a confederation of progressive tribes that are deeply inspired by the teachings of Clemirosa herself, particularly her lessons on diplomacy and peaceful coexistence. Spread across various regions, some of their settlements gravitate toward milder climes, embracing an agrarian way of life, while others choose to brave the biting cold of the far North. Despite her benevolent rule, Ashe commands the steadfast support of a formidable army and allies, counting upon the allegiance of numerous tribes and influential figures such as Magni Thomasarson, Ragkoul, Rufforson, and Arnasia.

Ashe's unwavering leadership not only preserved the vitality of the Clemirosan tribe but also set the standards for effective female leadership within Avarshi. While her efforts to reunite the Winter's Claw and Frostbringers ultimately faltered, her legacy endured through her daughter, Madeleine, who succeeded her as Warmother. Madeleine, with her remarkable vision and determination, successfully orchestrated the reunion of the three most influential tribes in Avarshi, forging an era of unity despite lurking threats from the remnants of Lissandra's Frostbringers.

### Culture

The Tribe of Clemirosa, has a unified culture and known for their code of unity, honour and benevolence. This made them more valued and recognisable in Iceborn and Avarshian history, as they clearly do lack any genocidal or evil qualities, minus the traitors who dismayed them for their own benefit.

#### Legacy

Under Ashe's reign, the Tribe of Clemirosa epitomized an outwardly hospitable and inclusive community, embodying the values of open-hearted acceptance for individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds and varying origins. Despite the staggering array of ethnicities within their ranks, the tribe united under a common belief - that Ashe was the living embodiment of Clemirosa, serving as the rightful leader destined to guide them through all challenges. Ashe harnessed her exceptional skills, resilience, unrelenting determination, and the formidable Bow of True Ice to forge a legacy of unparalleled success. Her leadership inspired unwavering loyalty and trust, enabling the tribe to thrive even in the face of adversity.

Despite her inability to unify all the tribes, Ashe's endeavors would later be reevaluated and ultimately vindicated through the actions of her daughter.

#### New Generation

The pivotal moment of revelation occurred when the tribe uncovered one of the most profound secrets concealed within their midst: the existence of Madeleine, Ashe's daughter. Amidst the fervor and uncertainty surrounding the prospect of Madeleine assuming the mantle of Warmother, Khalsa's steadfast assurances resonated deeply within the tribe, prompting them to place their faith in Madeleine's potential to lead. However, this newfound revelation also unveiled a divisive undercurrent within the tribe, with a segment holding doubt and skepticism regarding Madeleine's capabilities.

The ensuing period witnessed a tumultuous journey for Madeleine, characterized by derogatory remarks and the relentless scrutiny of her abilities by the skeptics within the tribe. Yet, in the face of adversity, Madeleine's unwavering determination and formidable leadership qualities shone brightly, exceeding all expectations. Her triumphant ascension to the role of Warmother silenced her critics and prompted sincere apologies from those who had doubted her. The collective realization that Madeleine was not merely capable but an exceptional leader akin to her mother engendered a profound unity within the reinvigorated tribe.

This consensus, firmly rooted in the conviction of Madeleine's leadership prowess, remains a cornerstone of strength among the Clemirosans. Furthermore, Madeleine's remarkable diplomacy and capacity to transform former adversaries into valuable allies underscored the tribe's evolving nature. She facilitated the redemption and integration of renegades, thereby effecting a transformation from terrorists to respected and legitimate warriors. In this way, the Tribe of Clemirosa adapted to the evolving landscape of Avarshi, embracing change, and upholding the legacy of Clemirosa, Ashe, and their formidable bloodline.

### Members

Contrary to common assumption, the tribe is not made up solely of Clemirosans. Ashe's intentions to unite the three largest tribes in Avarshi into a single, powerful tribe with a large army are supported by many tribal families as well. Usually, a woman with the title Warmother leads the tribe, but occasionally a man with the title Scarfather does take the charge through a majority vote.

In Avarshi, leadership roles within tribes are divided based on gender. The female leaders are bestowed with the title of *Warmother*, while their male counterparts are known as *Scarfathers*. These titles represent the enduring strength and cultural significance of both genders within the society.
