Clan Caerllyn
Clan Caerllyn is a tight-knit Greefolk clan renowned for their expertise in navigating the depths of The Boil to harvest rare resources from The Underboil. Known as daring deep-sea divers, they have perfected the dangerous craft of extracting gree and other valuable materials from the volatile undercurrents where few others dare to go. Members of Caerllyn are easily recognized by their ritual scars, and the haunted look of those who have stared into the deep. Proud, fiercely loyal, and known for a touch of madness, Caerllyn is also deeply superstitious, guided by ocean shamans who believe the Underboil holds echoes of a world before the sundering.
Culture
Clan Caerllyn’s culture is one of fierce loyalty, bravery, and a nearly spiritual connection to the treacherous waters of the Boil. Caerllyn members revere the ocean as both a life-giver and a harbinger of death, with rituals and superstitions tied to every dive. They hold clan symbols—often carved into charms or tattooed—as sacred protections against the Boil’s dangers. Storytelling is a central part of their culture, preserving tales of daring dives and lost ancestors, and binding younger generations to the clan’s history. Their scarification practices mark key life moments, and members often carry charms blessed by ocean shamans, believed to offer protection or insight during dangerous missions. Caerllyn values resilience and views scars as badges of honor, often using them to mark bravery and loyalty in the unforgiving world of gree harvesting.
History
Clan Caerllyn’s origins trace back to Awarth’s early settlement, when small, independent fishing families dared to brave the deadly depths of the Boil to secure valuable resources. Over generations, these families merged, forming Clan Caerllyn and developing techniques and traditions that transformed deep-sea diving into a dangerous but profitable craft. During times of conflict among the Greefolk, Caerllyn’s unrivaled expertise and courage in the Boil made them essential, and they became key negotiators in establishing the Bond of Blood & Brine—the pact that keeps the Greefolk united.
