Poruporu Wae Clan

The Wae clan are dedicated farmers and hunters, devout to the nature goddess Waeji. They cultivate the land and ensure that the majority of the Alliance has a variety of foods from corn and potates to soybeans and wheat; most of their doctrine revolves around living off the earth and taking what Waeji blessings one with be it bountiful crop or vast hunting.

> "Food is the backbone of any army and so we are the backbone of the Concord. We do our due diligence to ensure that food is brought to the plates of soldiers and the plates of those who helm the effort." - Sidaeku Wae, 17th leader of the Wae Clan
