Clan Macleod
The Macleod are a people as impassable and unconquerable as the dense swamplands that they call home. They have spent their tenure as masters of the lowlands acclimating to the waterlogged and dangerous undergrowth, both physically and stylistically. The domiciles of this clan are often found several stories over the flooded forest floor, connected by hempen rope and protected vigilantly by the Prowlers — a division of Macleod warriors who specialize in not being seen or heard. A separate division of these fighters, known as the Skulkers, patrol the canopy and alert the settlements of incumbent threats to their homeland. It is often said that none but the Prowlers can traverse the Lowlands without their presence being known to Clan Macleod.
The Macleod are elusive, conniving, and never address conflict in a straightforward manner. They fear the presence of outsiders, restrict the travel of adventurers and explorers through their territory, and share nothing but ambushes and swamp rot with ambassadors to the outside world.
Many claim that their chemical dependence on Kalfer, an elixir made by distilling swamp water with the extracts of Sponge Moss and Anuxo Root, has been the source of their irritability and bristliness. While there may be truth to this, it is known that there are many secrets, mystical and primeval, hidden in the sodden Macleod swamps.
