Angharad Clans
Description and listing of Angharad Clans. See Angharad page for additional details about the Angharad Clans.
The rulers of the Angharad are the noble Clan families and their leaders are the Clan Queens. An Angharad Clan is composed of groups of 10-20 families bound together by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Multiple Clans (usually 3-10) can gather together based on kinship, vassalage or alliance to form Houses. There are usually four major Clan Houses based on descent from the original four daughters of Prince Sinann (House Tiran, House Raetha, House Runiver and House Umirelle), but there may be other recognized Houses among the Clans. There are also rumors of a "Fifth House" descended from the male line of Prince Sinann. The House Queens are selected by a conclave of member Clan Queens. Occasionally two or more Clan Houses will join together in alliance or vassalage and form a Great Clan. The Great Clan Queen is selected by a conclave of the Clan and House Queens. Very rarely, the various Houses and Great Clans will join together and elect a High Queen of the Angharad called The Banrion [bon-reen].
Below is a listing of Angharad Clans arranged by House. Within each house they are listed generally by rank of power and influence. Some clans have additional details on pages linked in their name.
