 The current residents of this rugged land arrived many centuries ago, possibly towards the end of the Degenerate Era.  They are mostly human, but do not closely resemble their neighbors to the south, east, or west.  As most of the history of Lallybroch is related by Bards instead of scribes, details get vague more than a few centuries back. The current residents of this rugged land arrived many centuries ago, possibly towards the end of the Degenerate Era.  They are mostly human, but do not closely resemble their neighbors to the south, east, or west.  As most of the history of Lallybroch is related by Bards instead of scribes, details get vague more than a few centuries back.

-There are a __lot__ of clans in Lallybroch, more than their enemies in Tildane, Vjorn, or raiding out of the Karrack region really comprehend.  The twelve great clans would be considered small nations in the [[Anube River]] areas, but prefer a less formal governing arrangement.  The population is almost entirely human, with some goblin and hobgoblin communities tucked in here and there.  Elves are almost unheard of, though dwarven merchants visit often enough to be respected and welcomed.  There is a known, but highly elusive population of Keshanti living in the Enchanted Forest who are allied, but not one of, the clans.+There are a __lot__ of clans in Lallybroch, more than their enemies in Tildane, Vjorn, or raiders out of the Karrack region really comprehend.  The twelve great clans would be considered small nations in the [[Anube River]] areas, but prefer a less formal governing arrangement.  The population is almost entirely human, with some goblin and hobgoblin communities tucked in here and there.  Elves are almost unheard of, though dwarven merchants visit often enough to be respected and welcomed.  There is a known, but highly elusive population of Keshanti living in the Enchanted Forest who are allied with, but not one of, the clans.

   *Campbell: Dark Green & Blue tartan.  Nothern moors, edging into the loch country.  Clan Campbell has one of the higher populations, with at least four sub-clans under their direct control.  They also have a checkered past, purported to have switched sides in any number of clan disputes.   *Campbell: Dark Green & Blue tartan.  Nothern moors, edging into the loch country.  Clan Campbell has one of the higher populations, with at least four sub-clans under their direct control.  They also have a checkered past, purported to have switched sides in any number of clan disputes.
   *Christine: Pink & Black tartan.  Western highlands and up into the mountains.  The head of the clan always female, and as a group, almost as stubborn as MacRiley.  Known for having the best hunters, and arbalesteers.   *Christine: Pink & Black tartan.  Western highlands and up into the mountains.  The head of the clan always female, and as a group, almost as stubborn as MacRiley.  Known for having the best hunters, and arbalesteers.

   *Bholcàno Fire: A cavern in the Redfang mountains west of Findlady territory, more than merely challenging to reach, filled with volcanic basalt columns.  Shamanic types revere it as possibly the **only** site north of the [[Ebon Gulf]] where one stands a chance of calling and contracting with Ifrit.   *Bholcàno Fire: A cavern in the Redfang mountains west of Findlady territory, more than merely challenging to reach, filled with volcanic basalt columns.  Shamanic types revere it as possibly the **only** site north of the [[Ebon Gulf]] where one stands a chance of calling and contracting with Ifrit.
   *Castle In The Clouds: Legend tells of a dark coven of witches who dwelt in a fortress somewhere near the [[Woden]] border who were a plague upon the clans, and led the unwary to heretical acts.  Two centuries ago, a hero stood against them, and supported by a divine advisor, drove them into their stronghold and then severed the castle from time itself.  In the early spring, if the conditions are just right (or horribly wrong), one might find the castle, and tread the bridge of Nebula Crossing to seek their fortune... or never bee seen again.   *Castle In The Clouds: Legend tells of a dark coven of witches who dwelt in a fortress somewhere near the [[Woden]] border who were a plague upon the clans, and led the unwary to heretical acts.  Two centuries ago, a hero stood against them, and supported by a divine advisor, drove them into their stronghold and then severed the castle from time itself.  In the early spring, if the conditions are just right (or horribly wrong), one might find the castle, and tread the bridge of Nebula Crossing to seek their fortune... or never bee seen again.
