Clan Macallan
Children who grow up in the Macallan Lowlands learn to hate all who steal and claim the property of others as their own. It is with steadfast permanence that the neighboring people of Clan Macleod are despised among the Macallan for their repeated and aggressive attempts to reclaim the Mouth of the Serpent, the river delta through which the descending salmon of the Blackspine funnel through in the vernal months.
That being said, the Macallan are as much known for their love of the harvest as they are for their vile bitterness. Twice a year, rain or shine, they celebrate The Reaping and The Sowing as a way to commemorate the passing of the agricultural seasons. These holidays bear an almost spiritual significance to the Macallan, and all wartime and political machinations cease for the celebration of the fruits of the Macallan farmers’ labors.
The Macallan must see value in all things they pursue. All motivations and decisions are weighed in turn against the Gods of Harvest, an assembled, partially fictitious and vaguely esoteric group of “divine powers” to which they attribute all of their agricultural and military successes.
