Clan Moyra

Sigil: Three Gilt Serpents
Colors: Black and Purple
Current PatriarchLady Ernmas 
Domain: Bianna Daern
Seat: The Nead, at Meadowton

Vassal of Clan Beth at Revelback   The Moyras are a clan of spellers and breyvs, often frowned upon by the other clans. They are seen as untrustworthy for their sigil, the three serpents, and often present a supercilious air. They are known for producing comely offspring, frequently sought after for matches, yet many view these offspring as poisoned gifts to be avoided. Because of this, Clan Moyra has often been forced to ally with lesser, more ambitious families, unperturbed by their reputation.

History

While most Revellian clans claim to have fought the Aernigh in ancient times, the Moyras go further to say they fought the Monsters of Aernigh myth. Their legendary founder, Moiraen Agmar, defeated three mighty sea serpents and flung them back into the oceans. This of course would have happened before the Norrish came south in Milos, making Moiraen Agmar one of the Aernigh. When pressed on this point, many of Clan Moyra will simply grin knowingly.   In nearer history, the Moyras provided many accomplished healers. Their people supposedly trained under the leachers of the New Orckid Empire before the collapse, and traded healing secrets with them. Today, the Moyraens still know more of herblore than most other clans. Famous Moyras include Eggart the Leach, one of their most celebrated healers; Adram Dragonrider, who supposedly tamed river wyrms in the Raathi swamps; and Wilma the Harper, who helped bring the Host Keeping faith to the Peninsula.
