Summary:
Earth
Name: Earth Clan
Other names:
Race : Grey Folk x human descendant
Live: Southernmost edge of the island (Carrick Gob )Only part of island accessible by boat.
Alliances: Most peaceful and open of Grey Folk clans. Open to all Baarlagh except those of violence.
Leaders/hierarchy: Village council (of about 5). Religious official has influence but only minor.
Birthplace: N/A
Longevity (Avg.): Around 100 years for a Grey Folk x human descendant. The more Grey Folk blood the longer-lived. - Very hard to tell age of Grey folk. Ageless faces.
Identifying features: Generally all grey folk are born with red hair (varies in shade) but in Earth Clan this often darkens to brown/black in first five years.
Av height: Just under human average.
Av weight: Just over human average (do not look it).
Magic users: Yes, but this is uncommon and they are mostly unaware of the ability. Due to Grey Folk blood being diluted their magic is weaker then that of other Clans, however they are still able. Generally only manifests as talents with horticulture, brewing, animal breeding/ training etc. Not obvious - they do it unconciously.
Strengths: Those that can use magic have great skill in a practical task (E.g smithing, horticulture, animal training, singing/arts etc).
Look weaker than they are- about strength of a half-elf; are also much heavier than they appear.
Weaknessess: Do not conciously use magic. Ability to use magic is very rare. Not very good with physical violence. Skill with magic isn't strong and is simple.
Preffered weapons?: Not often fighters but where necessary will use farming tools.
Personality: Calm, peaceful. Very much a farming village community. Live around the crop, celebrate coming of spring and summer and prepare for winter each year.
Generally do not with other clans, but will help those in need.
