Founding Clans
The founding clans are the four familial groups which descended from four of the people who brought god-touched artifacts to Phasmatum. Although these clans originally settled in Port du Soleil, they later founded the City State of Sikel City. One of the reasons for this was so that they could practice Vodu without reserve, as tensions between the scientific and religious perspectives of Phasma increased.
The four founding clans each bear a totem name and symbol. They are as follows:
Rooster Clan
Leopard Clan
Bat Clan
White Ram Clan
Many people in Sikel City can claim to be part of one of the founding clans. However, only a select few are considered to be of the direct lineage. Many of those with the closest relations were killed during the Red Quake War, which wiped out the White Ram lineage.
Before the Red Quake War, the four clans each had an elder representative on the Council of Governers alongside the four elected governors. However, after the conclusion of the war, the Phasmatum Council appointed the elder of the Rooster Clan to act as the Paramount Chief. This appointment has increased the tension between the three remaining clans, especially after the Rooster Clan broke a treaty with the Bat Clan.
