5 Clans of Arken Wood

These are some of the most ruthless enemies of man. And
they all have a hierarchy amongst themselves. The 5 clans are
as follows, Abenaki, Dakelh , Onandowagar, Vilkelar, and
Umon'hon. The most powerful and feared of all the clans are
the Vilkelar Clan. They are the ones in charge of keeping the
western borders of the Arken Wood free of human
encrochment.
Brief Description of Each Clan and
their roles
Abenaki Clan- Lowest In the Hierarchy, they are the most

Ishticar Barbarians
The tribesmen of the Ishticar Barbarians are a proud people,
and devout in their belief in their gods. They speak stories of
conquest and glory. That's what they hold dear in their hearts
and minds. With that, they are pillagers of others riches. They
terrorize the settlements of the north and take what they
believe is theirs. They will stop at nothing to take over the
civilized lands to enslave the children and kill the rest. Their
main goals are expansion. Not only are they proud but they're
pragmatic, they have forged alliances with the giant lords in
hopes to swell their ranks.

Magi i.e. Malificar

In the recent year, magic has been pronounce an evil act, one
that can only be cured only by death. It is now fully associated
with demons and the malevolent gnomes. Magi have been
blamed for the recent plagues that's been raping the land and
people. Any person thought to be using magic is immediately
detained and tried by a High Court but typically one is
handled by a swift blade to the throat.
Great and old... and Dead
Some of the most powerful Magi to ever walk the land were
the ones who were recently killed or fled, thousands of years
of combined arcane knowledge lost. Thousands of books
