Thanic of Hammerstead
The united clans of the Hammerstead Mountains
Structure
Hammerstead is run by a Guild Republic, which is run by two councils - the Council of Chiefs, and the Guilds Council. The Council of Chiefs is made up of the Chiefs of every clan within Hammerstead, each of those Chiefs have a vote that is weighted base on how powerful the clans are within the bureaucracy of Hammerstead. In contrast, the Guild's Council is made up of a number of members from each Guild based on the number of workers that they have, and a number of other factors. Each of the Guilds goes through a thorough audit every 2 years. Each of the Guilds may choose who these members are. The Head Chief is chosen from the Chiefs to lead the two councils. They are the ones now who need to carry out all of the decisions of the councils. The Headd Chief only hold their power for 35 years.

- Every one of Hammerstead follows the old ways of their people. In the Old Ways, there is a set of lines about having a set of Core Beliefs that are all your own. There are not for others to tell you what there are but are for something that you hold in the highest and as proof of your self.
- One's Visual is held at their coming of age at the start of their 10 years within the Warband of their Clan. It is the mark of the last step into adulthood, if one does not hold their Visual is the great dishonor one can do.
- They hold to the core of the old ways of their people and follow the Code of Honor that is known as the Earthfather's Will. The Earthfather is one of the Old Gods that died in the wars at the end of the Third Age.
- Due to the death of the Earthfather, they know what kind of power that the dead can have. They have all of their Dead burned and put into a stone of the dead one's likeness. This is so that the dead cannot be brought back.
