Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 5431404" data-attributes="member: 92305">FINN'S CHILDREN There are three life paths that are regarded as necessary to the survival of the Blue Fox clan, and although Cimmerians have little concern for status among their peers, warriors who follow one of these three life paths do garner more respect from their clansmen than do those who follow other paths. As it stands, the three Duncohr brothers each travel down one of these different life paths. Let me remind you that the number three is a sacred number. Seven Stones Ridge is quite prosperous, as far as Cimmerian villages go, and that success is directly tied to the quality of work produced by the Duncohr forge. Trade is strong with the Blue Foxmen not only because of the clanholm's location, but mainly for steel produced by the master smiths Finn and Dael Duncohr. Recently it has been announced that the two have taken on an apprentice, Finn's son, Caelis. Defense of the clan is always of paramount importance, and Clan Urrough (the Cimmerian word for "Blue Fox") stands a few men whose vocation is war and only war. Every Blue Foxman is a warrior, having survived the tests at early age, but a select few have no other life path than the martial protection of the clan and its territory. The third Duncohr elder, Eanbotha, is the current clan war chief (second to the clan elder, Finn Duncohr). Finn's first son, older twin to Caelis, is Branoc, and he has announced his life path to follow his uncle Ean along the path of the true Urrogh warrior. Every new day, one task is supersedes all others--that of keeping the clan fed. Food is always a primary concern, and it is the clan's hunters that fulfill that need each and every day. It is a solitary life, occasionally, out in the wild, sometimes alone for days, tracking beasts so that their meat can be brought back to the clanholm to feed those who support the clan through tanning, and weaving, and leatherworking, and other ways. These hunters also serve as the eyes and ears of the war chief, serving as far scouts and reporting any discoveries that are out of the norm. Thrallan, Finn's last son, has chosen this path, learning the work of a hunter from his older sister, Drachena. Caelis is apprenticed as a weapon smith to his father, Finn, and uncle, Dael. Branoc will become an Urrogh warrior, serving under his uncle, the war chief Eanbotha, once he is accepted by the clan as a man. Thrallan is primarily mentored by Drachena, his older sister, learning the ways of far hunter and scout.</blockquote>
