Thulekin Clans

Structure

The Thulekin Clans are not a unified state in the traditional sense but rather a confederation of powerful clans that collectively govern their territories. Each major clan controls its own holdings, and is led by a Jarl or equivalent leader. These clans maintain their own military forces, trade networks, and traditions, but they are bound by a shared cultural and political framework. At the highest level, a Clan Assembly serves as a forum where major clans negotiate alliances, settle disputes, and decide on matters of war or expansion. The Assembly does not operate as a centralized government but rather as an arena where influence is asserted through diplomacy, honor, and power plays. Lesser clans and warrior bands either align themselves with greater clans for protection or operate independently, sometimes as mercenaries or privateers.
