GROUPS OF PEOPLE

Hiording Clan - This clan of about 800 people inhabits the upper Swanvale. They raise grain in the lowlands and herd cattle and sheep in the Thunder Hills. They were the first outside clan to join the Colymar tribe. The hamlet of Apple Lane—with its market, inn, and Uleria temple—is within their clan lands. Sometimes called the “Swansons” or “Swancloaks,” the members of this clan are descendants of Hiord and Safeela, a swan maiden. He stole her magical wrap, and so she stayed with him for seven years, and their children head the main bloodlines of the clan. The women of the clan receive a cloak of swan feathers at their initiation and wear it whenever they are to be seen by outsiders. The clan Earth priestess speaks to the clan wyter, which resides in a cloak of swan feathers worn by her. The chieftain is the clan’s Storm Voice and serves as warleader and judge.
