Clan Ghloren
One of the many Nomadic Clans of the The Empire of the Rune Keepers, Clan Ghloren lives the traiditonal roaming lifestyle of the Elven people, wandering the Empire's forests and doing passing trade among their other Clan-kin.
Clan Ghloren is known to be on good terms with Clan Phalynthos, Clan Solistya, Clan Eclipsian and the Stormherder Tribe.
Akin to many of these Clans, Ghloren is made up of multiple families with differening family names, and subraces of the Elven people (moon, sun, wood, wild, drow), but function as one large family. They are all "Ghloren". They are at present one of the largest Nomadic Clans to house predominantly Half Elves, with very few of their number being full blooded.
Like many of the other Nomadic Clans, Clan Ghloren worshops the Seldarine fiercely, with many of the Rangers, Scouts, and Hunters following the path of Solonor Thelandira. Many of their healers are Clerics of Sehanine Moonbow and Hanali Celanil. Their Paladins often seek Oaths from Corellon Larethian; Shevarash and Fenmarel Mestarine. Their Druids say prayers of thanks to Rillifane Rallathil and Aerdrie Faenya.
It is one of their percieved duties as a Clan to travel to sites of religious importance within the forests, areas where protective talismans and shrines have been erected in centuries long past, ensuring their are kept cleansed and in good condition to promote the continued longevity and protection of the Empire and the Elven people.
Like all Nomadic Clans, Ghloren is guided and lead in times of hardship by a sole Keeper. The Keeper is the head of the Clan, the one who decides where they will travel to next; coordinates their trade with outsiders and decides how best to protect the entire Clan. It is a role of great responsibility and weight, and Keepers are looked up to with great respect for the role they play.
At present, the Keeper of Clan Ghloren is Xarith Inari.
