Hallharn#

The Hallharn were one of the original clans, formed centuries ago, and their primary settlement, Hallwik, rests in the Bay of Sighs. Traditionally they often take a leadership role when the völv convene the Drifthall for the Gathering. The Hallharn are primarily humans.

Lutan#

Also one of the original clans, the Lutans themselves have never exerted as much influence as either the Tvar or the Hallharn. Many of the Lutan are dragonborn.

Tvar#

Another of the original clans, the Tvar, are a practical folk, used to long days working their fields to produce the bountiful food they are known for all over the world. They are a multiracial clan with elves, dragonborn, and humans.

Knattle#

The Knattle inhabit some of the coldest, and most extreme, regions of Grimnir. There is sparse lumber for the building of their ships so they tend to rely more on the materials they can extract from the great riverwhales they hunt. They are primarily peopled by dwarves and humans.

Örn#

The Örn see the beauty in all things, even those that are imperfect. These people are considered the most talented of smiths and artisans and most agree that they build the finest ships, weapons, and tools. They are peopled by elves, halflings, and humans.

Risa#

This clan is composed primarily of the giant-like tallfolk. Most are brown skinned though a few have skin tinted an icy blue. They are a newer clan and still feel they must earn the respect of the others. Though they worship the God of Battle, Vani, they search for ways to prove themselves, beyond just their physical strength.

Whar#

A generation ago the Whar were merely another minor clan, though one reputed to worship the Lady of the Dead rather than any god or goddess of the Stone Court. But over the past few years they have made a name for themselves with several bold raids on both rival raiders and Baendur villages. They are a multiracial clan with dwarves, elves, halflings, and humans.

Varang#

This is a disparate group, with no leader. The word “varang” refers to longship crews or villages that are not part of any of the major clans.
