The High Council of Clans
The High Kingdom of Arduan is ruled by its High King, along with the Council of Clans. When a matter of importance arises, the High Council is called and each Great Clan will choose a representative to sit on the Council, usually the Clan Father. Within these council sessions, all clans hold an equal share of the vote, with a veto being available to the High King. In some cases the number of present clans in the council will be even, in the case of a tie, the decision rests with the High King. The High Councils are always held in Dar-ach Denur, and in ancient times, all the Clans traveled from their holds through the underground roads.
To become one of the Great Clans, the sitting Clans must vote to admit the aspiring Minor Clan into their ranks and onto the High Council. This can be done with a majority of the vote or the High King’s tiebreaker.

GREAT CLANS
Clan Starbreaker
Claiming shared blood with a distant relative of Arduan Starforged himself, the members of Clan Stabreaker fill the air with a feeling of arrogance and pride themselves upon their work even more than the average Denur. Their members pride themselves on their smithing prowess and their ability to lead. A Starbreaker is always trying to rise in station and garner riches while doing it. Their midnight black hair is a common feature among their ranks, and sometimes decorate themselves with red war paint.
Clan Emberthorn
Builders of reverence, the Emberthorn have had a hand in the creation of the many ancient holds, with Dar-ach Denur being the most known among them. Their masons and stoneworkers are unmatched, and it is said they match these skills with equal martial prowess. Their personal stronghold was Dar-Zenour before it was corrupted by the fiends of Lilith and drove them out.
Clan Whitebeard
The Denur of Clan Whitebeard share blood with its most notable Ancestor, Belegar Whitebeard. These hardy Mountainfolk originate from the hold of Dar-Azur and have a tendency to delve into the ways of magic due to their long vicinity to the Elrikar. A relatively young clan, but their legacy on the High Kingdom has been great, especially during the effort to reclaim Dar-ach Denur. As their name suggests, the Whitebeards proudly wear their white manes for all to see.
Clan Runefist
A true warrior’s clan, the Runefists have been a staple of martial culture within the High Kingdom. Their former hold, Dar-Nadrozz was said to have rivaled Dar-ach Denur in size and stature before the Urk hordes drove them from their home. Since then, the Runefists have sworn to make good on the grudges held against the Urkar. They sport fiery red manes and scruffy beards and often fight with two hand-axes, turning their frenzies of rage into a valuable asset for the High Kingdom.
