Dasmafear Clan

The standard of the Clan.

***Dasmafear*** (Dass-ma-fear), or the ***Dasmafear Clan***, was a military dictatorship established on the 23rd of Dynikure, 11 PR.

## History:

### The Great Journey:

After the Resurgence, many began to flee the Realm of Nordin and head to new lands in hopes of finding peace and prosperity. For the Dragonborn, this event was known as the Great Journey, where their people journeyed across the Endless Sea to the North of the Freldan Isles. Arriving in the Isles, the mountains were soon named the Dragon Peaks, and soon five clans were established.

The five clans were Dasmafear Clan, Eratian Clan, Edhaz-Mullu Clan, Tucan Clan, and the Hidnai Clan.

### War Against the Undead:

By the time of the *First Exiled-Freldan War*, many of the Draconic Clans refused to join the war, with only the Hidnai Clan fighting against the *Cult of the Exiled*. Soon, this would change with the South Monastery Conference, where the Knights of the Round Table tried to convince the Clans to join the war.

This conference was the first notable act of Dasmafear Clan, where they completely sided with the *Freldan Kingdom* and implored the others to join as well. This demonstrated the authority of Dasmafear Clan had over the other Clans, with it even gaining a phrase in Draconic which translates to "The Eldest speaks for All."

Dasmafear Clan would then participate in the *Battle of the Southern Monastery*, securing the battle for the Freldans with it being the first battle the Kingdom won in some time.

### A Brother's Jealousy:

In truth, Dasmafear Clan's finest hour would only come after an era of darkness.

On the 14th of Terriuskure, 1045 PR, *Xolkeir Dasmafear* would be born and proclaimed as the heir to the High Chief. Xolkeir's brother, Xolocke, was angered by this as he wanted to be both the High Chief and the War Chief of the Clan. So later that year, while the Chief's family was on a trip to the Eratian Clan, Xolocke hired a group of assassins to kill his family.

With them gone, Xolocke became both the High Chief and War Chief of the Clan, fusing the two roles into one.

### Xenophobia On the Rise:

Now in control of the Clan, High Chief Xolocke would begin to conquer the other clans, spreading the influence of Dasmafear Clan across the Dragon Peaks.

This time also saw the rise of xenophobia within the clans, with Dasmafear Clan spreading propaganda that the *Kingdom of Central Frelda* and any non-Dragonborn would rise up against them and destroy them. This led to the Draconic Clans becoming isolated from the rest of the Freldan Isles, refusing to trade or speak with the other nations.

The *Burning of the Eastern Monastery* would also take place during this time, with *Xolocke Dasmafear* tricking his brother, who had been saved by the Eastern Monastery and renamed to Lubo, into killing all those who had lived within it.

### Return of the Dead:

By the start of the *Second Exiled-Freldan War*, Dasmafear Clan refused to join in the war, leaving the Hidnai Clan to fend for themselves.

This soon saw Dasmefear Clan isolating itself from the other clans as well, causing paranoia to flood throughout the clan. Soon the entire clan believed that everyone was their enemies, which then led to the rich and powerful of the Clan to fear the poor. The poor of the Clan, like those in the Orin Slums would soon be imprisoned and beaten just for existing. This eventually led to the creation of the group known as the *Orin Rebellion*, which fought to overthrow Xolocke from power.

When the *Lady's Arms* arrived in the city of Orin, they soon met up with the Rebellion and joined their cause leading to the start of the *Orin Uprising*. After the *Battle at the Orin Arena*, Xolocke Dasmafear would be killed by *Ixlilan Nevardy*, ending the Uprising and crowning *Lubo Dasmafear* as the new High Chief.

### A Greater Purpose:

After the end of the *Second Exiled War,* Lubo would return to the Clan and begin to revert the steps taken by his brother.

This started with the formation of the *Alliance of Grand Frelda*, a more official alliance forged between the *Kingdom of Central Frelda* and Dasmafear Clan than its predecessor. Soon, Dasmafear Clan would bring in the rest of the Draconic Clans into the Alliance, leading to an era of peace in the North. As the *Twilight Cycle* began to form once again, Lubo would make Bulatros Xadrom the acting chief.

### Unifiying the Draconic Clans:

With the *Twilight Cycle* over and High Chief Lubo dead, High Chief Bulatros would continue in Lubo's footsteps. On the 6th of Curtikure, 1080 PR, Dasmafear Clan and the rest of the Draconic Clans would be reformed into the *Chiefdom of the Dragon Peaks*.

## Government:

The government of the Clan is a military dictatorship, where the High Chief holds all the power which they enforce through their military.

### Executive Branch:

The executive branch of the Clan is the Chief's War Council. While the Chief's War Council holds the title of the executive, it is merely an advisory body for the High Chief of the Clan. It is made up of those the Chief finds necessary for advising them and their actions.

### Legislative/Judicial Branch:

The legislative branch and judicial branch of the Clan is the Great Tribunal. The Great Tribunal is responsible for creating, proposing, and amending laws for the Chief. The Tribunal is made up of representatives elected throughout the Clan, with it mostly being made up of the rich and powerful.
