Clawbrand Clan
The Clawbrand Clan is a clan of Kobolds that live in the low mountians in Vesper. They are the original Clan of Kobolds who inhabited the lands and carry a great deal of pride in that. While they can be ruthless, they are so out of self preservation.
Structure
The Clawbrand Clan has been lead by Clawbrand sons for generations. When the family patriarch dies the eldest born son will often try to rise for power, though traditionally he has been challenged by any number of siblings from either the same or different female. The Clawbrand's are like most Kobolds and cast a wide net as far as genetic lineage to keep up their pack numbers. Once a son has risen to power, his brothers and even sometimes sisters will act as their litenents and carry out leadership orders.
Culture
The Clawbrands for the most part act in peace towards each other, except in times where needs are not being met. They act as small packs, and move together in constant communication to ensure their sucess. They also know they are feared and hated by many outsiders so they keep to themselves often, and often only trade with highly vetted and trusted outsiders. They tend to be extremely cautious and protective of their dens.
Public Agenda
Outsiders see the Clawbrand Clan as greedy menaces who take advantage of traders. The Clawbrand Clan see's themselves as just trying to survive with the cards they have been dealt.
Territories
The Clawbrand clan mostly maintains the line where Amuel meets up with Iyan and Voqos, some of their mines are deep and long. They have abandonded all territory west of the Mirielle due to conflict with other clans.
Foreign Relations
The Clawbrands struggle to maintain positive relations with outside groups. Their relationship to the Flaskbasher Clan has led to a lot of misunderstandings. They do have a positive relationship to The Greyhorns in Voqos. They often barter with this ship building and ocean riding group of dwarves to get their goods on ships to be traded elsewhere in Tema. The also have some tentative peace with The White Owl Clan, who regularly buy the metals and minerals they mine to make fine weaponry and metal adornments.
Laws
The Clawbrand Clan has very little as far as set laws or regulations, but in general as long as the Clan's needs are being met they do not attack outsiders except in self defence and they release all prisoners caught in traps unless the prisioner is hostile.
Infrastructure
The entrances to the Clawbrand Tunnel systems are often heavily guarded with traps, their tunnels are decently complex networks creating areas for small packs and family groups, common areas, workshops, and storage areas.
From scale to scale and scrap to scrap we will prevail.
