Sigil:

A depiction of Ónn "Hard Trunk" of Clan Deathweed smoking his pipe colored bronze, all on a green background with a simple bronze square border. Said to be designed in the idea of keeping to the family sigil of House Bronzebeard. Many onlookers are quick to note the similar runic design on Ónn's pipe that matchs the Bronzebeard Soul Crown.

Owner:

Uni "The Content" of Clan Deathweed is one of the few noteable leaders who has little to no want or so his nickname leads one to believe. Uni who has spent most his life beneath his fathers shadow would inherit the throne at the ripe old age of four hundred and fifty one. Now being four hundred and fifty five, Uni "The Content" is said to want for nothing but peace after he passes. Refusing to die without settling the clans inheritance. And dealing with the families disruption at the recognition of Þráinn "The Stubborn Threat" of Death's Grove legitmacy against his will. 

Founder:

Ónn "Hard Trunk" of Clan Deathweed was said to be the younger brother of House Bronzebeard's founder, Óri "The Insane". Having been gifted with the druidic arts and a love for studying the dead, Ónn "Hard Trunk" would be granted right to build a grove around his brothers city. Though with the expectation of any of his research being provided to House Bronzebeard for monetization. Ónn "Hard Trunk" would begin building his infamous deathweed plants that where said to come to life and kill any who came to close. Though not satisified with his new creation, Ónn "Hard Trunk" like his brother, would begin his insanity trip as the souls of the desert got to him. Slowly Ónn "Hard Trunk" would begin bringing the corpses of the fallen into his grove and feeding them to the plants. Creating a tree called "Hard Trunk" also known as "Dead Man's Tree". As they grow on top of corpses and seem to feed off the bodies to strengthen there trunks. Creating a natural thick barrier that allows for no creature to penetrate. The hard trunk trees would be gifted with the sentience to teach and speak, however like the old tale goes. "Awaken a powerful wizard after hes slumbered, and your gonna get a fireball to the face.". Similarly as the trees born of malice would gain intelligence, they would begin turning on there masters. Only to embalm the members of clan Deathweed within and use there bodies as mouth pieces for the trees knowledge. It is said that after Ónn "Hard Trunk" would be killed and taken within, the clan would begin a tradition for its old to follow the same path. Helping and serving the clan forever in death as they had in life.

Renown members:

Rekkr "Hero's Bane" of Clan Deathweed

Angry, betrayed and ready to fight to the end, these are the few things that describe the young druid prodigey Rekkr "Hero's Bane". Having at a young age distinguished himself on the battlefield,  Rekkr "Hero's Bane" would go on to participate in the Red Snow War where he would cut down the last of House Flame Shield. Killing the elder noble named Vitr "Wise Hero" of House Flame Shield and his younger brothers of Clan Frost Wall and Clan Flame Helm. Rekkr is one of the first of clan Deathweed to find himself both the capable druid and warrior. Now finding himself out ranked by his bastard brother and an individual less distinguished then himself. Rekkr would have probably let it go, however when Þráinn "The Stubborn Threat" stole Nali "Corpse Dealer" of House Bronzebeard from him. Things became personal, now the two find themselves seperated at all times and never being left alone with one another.

Sindri "The Good Natured" of Clan Deathweed

A kind necromancer if ever there was one, Sindri finds herself the youngest of the three Deathweed siblings. Known for her love of plants and animals, Sindri rarely finds herself outside of her lab where she is usually playing with her undead porcupine "Skully". Having a surprisingly strong magic affinity, Sindri finds herself the greatest necromancer that Deathweed has ever seen. Though her lack of interest in anything but cute snow beard young warriors or undead plans and animals. Has caused quite the stir amongst the clan, even more so, now that her eldest brother has been legitimized and recongized as the expected heir.

Þráinn "The Stubborn Threat" of Death's Grove

Born a bastard of clan Deathweed, now Þráinn finds himself married to the heir of House Bronzebeard. His ambitions for a grander throne and a easy life almost fulfilled. Having spent most of his life serving as a betepah to the House Bronzebeard. Þráinn rarely found himself relating to his siblings back home. However now that he found himself sweeping the young princess of house Bronzebeard off her feet, what could Þráinn do but enjoy life. A stubborn tower shield wielding, mountain plate wearing, spearman who specializes in large army combat. Þráinn is a respected betepah amongst betepah, having slain three generals and two known knights amongst the dragon armies of the north.

Tempting those of old age to there doom and to be devoured by the hard trunks. It is said that the clans grove smells of poison and death almost on a constant due to this.
