What are the clans and how do they function?
As the old adage goes, there is safety in numbers. The Wildlands world is a rough place. The people who live there have banded together for mutual protection, and these groups are called “clans.” Wildlands clansmen are not necessarily related to each other by blood or binding familial relationships. Members of a clan will generally look out for one another, however. Player Characters are not required to declare membership in any clan, but most will probably want to. Clans offer a modicum of protection and guidance, but their most precious gifts are knowledge and training. Only those who have learned the rare and coveted skill of Instruction can pass their knowledge on to others in the Wildlands. Most clans have a variety of instructors who teach the most basic knowledge of weapons, magic, craft, dexterity and vision and some clans are known as masters of one or more realms of knowledge.
