Briarhold
Thornrend family keep in Greywyn.
The Thornrend Clan is another ancient clan of Greywyn, one with a reputation that is both feared and respected. Known for their fierce fighters and mystical connection to the flora of the Heathlands, the Thornrends possess a unique bond with the land itself. While the Scarhides protect the land and the Duskmane rule it, the Thornrend Clan claims mastery over the hidden, tangled depths of the Heathlands, particularly the thorny, dangerous regions that other clans avoid. They have knowledge of herbalism, natural toxins, and ancient healing practices, as well as guerrilla tactics honed over centuries of warfare in the dense underbrush of Greywyn’s wilder lands.
Members of the Thornrend Clan are easily recognized by their tattoos of entwined thorns and vines, symbols of their connection to the land. Some say their ancestors made a pact with an ancient forest spirit, granting them the ability to manipulate the plants of the Heathlands in subtle ways. They use these skills in both healing and combat, setting snares made of thorny vines and crafting poisons from rare plants known only to their clan. The Thornrend Clan’s main stronghold, Briarhold, is a concealed village surrounded by thick briars and nettles that deter intruders. This hidden haven allows the Thornrends to remain secluded, protecting their secrets and cultivating their mysterious ways.
