THE CLANS
•Aeri Clan: (Iaireh Clan): the largest clan of the tamers, and three times as big as the largest minor clan, the Aeri inhabit the furthest southern part of the eastern mountains (a little over midway through Caeton). They occupy a large valley surrounded by small mountains and service the human kingdom as a highly mobile cavalry. Further history can be found below.
o Structure and Hierarchy: See Structure of Aeri/Camper/Ocea Clans thread. Shares similar hierarchy and structure with the Camper and Ocea Clan.
o Significant Figures: Commander Drustan Castile (m), Second Joel Reed (m), Lieutenant Elite Minu Vasilika (f), Elite Specialist Aria Makena (f).
o Dragons: The dragon classes of the Aeri Clan is the most diverse out of all the clans, but remains largely Western, at about ⅔ of the dragon populous.
• Nord Clan: (Noord Clan): the second largest clan, the Nord occupies the stark opposite part of the eastern mountains of their rivals and enemies, the Aeri. Their main base is one currently unknown in the depths of the very tall and constantly frigid and snowy mountains- nearl impossible to travel navigate without a dragon much less search the dangerous crevasses for the location of the Nord. The Nord also possess several outposts scattered along the northern mountains acting as military bases. The Nord are currently their own separate Clan and do not participate in Caetonite events, on top of being at war with the Aeri, the Campers and the Ocea Clans for the desire to remain their own Clan without the human kingdom’s influence and rigid control that they possess over the other Clans. The Nord are unwelcome in most of Caeton due to their conquering tendencies, but without any way to identify which Clan a tamer hails from besides uniform and vague guesses based on dragon type and clothing, the Nord can usually come and go where they like when they like.
o Structure and Hierarchy: x.
o Significant Figures: Megin Lepathe, leader (f), Otmar Adam, second in command (m), former leader [deceased] Aaron Dar (m).
•Camper Clan: (Calm-pehr Clan): the last major Clan, the Campers are actually the smallest of all tamer clans. However, due to their unique psyche, recent growth, military importance, and alliance with the Aeri Clan, the Campers are considered a major clan instead of a large minor one. The Campers possess a large area of land at the base of the Eastern Mountains and along the x River. What makes this clan unique is its extraordinary amount of flightless dragons and its dependence on land- driven fighting techniques and strategy. While many would think this is an advantage, the steadfast sturdiness of the Earthen Dragons is very difficult to beat. The Campers are a fearsome sight and force to behold, and their surrender, alongside the Aeri, several decades ago came as a shock to everyone. The Clan possesses a large amount of Earthen and Eastern Style dragons.
o Structure and Hierarchy: The Campers, Ocea and the Aeri possess a similar hierarchy, with different classes that were established at the end of the tamer war.
o Significant Figures: Commander Bayard Lauce (m), Second Cyrah Fox (f), Lieutenant Elite Bengt Pewd (m).
• Ocea Clan: (Ooh-saah Clan) the largest of the minor clans, Ocea is actually larger than the Camper Clan and the Tenya Clan combined. However, while the Ocea Clan is still considered to be fairly formidable as a group and completely unmatched when it comes to naval warfare, Ocea is thinly spread due to constant seafare patrols and balancing two wars (one, the Nords and their allies vs the Aeri and theirs, two, an underwater conflict to which the details are not well known). The Ocea are too small in retrospect to be considered one of the main three. Ocea is apart of the Camper-Aeri alliance, though the Ocea has always been a sort of outcast group amongst all the tamer clans due to their bonds being ‘stretched’ (see bonds). The main Ocea Clan resides on, plot twist, the edge of the ocean, though their clan, like their bonds, are stretched far-- from undersea cross-breeding with the merfolk, to the shipping patrols, to their actual origin home on the coast between Caeton’s major rivers o Structure and Hierarchy: The Campers, Ocean and the Aeri possess a similar hierarchy, with different classes that were established at the end of the tamer war.
o Significant Figures: Commander Clara Stanlias (f), Second Nikodemos Tarios (m), Lieutenant Elite Clovis Mantrafield (f).
• Tenya Clan: (Ten-yeh Clan): The Tenya are the second smallest clan of dragon tamers but their power is not overlooked. Riding large and magical Eastern Dragons, the strong powerful skills of the riders and dragons combined has kept the Tenyas free of militaristic rule (alongside its Nordish allies) for several decades. Like the Nords, the Tenya posses their own lifestyle in relative seclusion, proving less provocative adversaries than their Nordish brothers, but still powerful when threatened all the same. Tenya are typically held in higher regard than their aggressive and radical Nordish allies, but they are still hunted (if a little less) to be finally conquered.
o Structure and Hierarchy: The Tenyas have their own unique hierarchy.
o Significant Figures: Leader Iared Lucius (m), Second in Command, Mikalu Jada (f)
