Clan Fawney
Clan Fawney is a shrewd and adaptable Greefolk clan known for its interests in both legitimate and black-market trade, operating on the fringes of Awarth’s economy with ease. Specialists in rare or experimental gree products, they navigate gray areas of legality and maintain a network of trusted smugglers and discreet contacts, giving them a significant edge in Awarth’s markets. Although sometimes regarded with suspicion by other clans, Clan Fawney’s resourcefulness and strategic acumen have earned them both respect and influence in Awarth’s cutthroat trade environment.
Culture
Clan Fawney’s culture values cunning, adaptability, and loyalty to the clan above all else. Fawney members are encouraged to take calculated risks, find opportunities in uncertainty, and seek profit in overlooked places. The clan’s informal code emphasizes honoring deals and respecting one’s word; a broken deal is one of the gravest offenses in Fawney culture. Fawney members wear subtle charms, symbols, or marks that identify their affiliation without drawing attention, and they’re trained from a young age in the nuances of bargaining and evading unwanted scrutiny. Practicality is woven into every aspect of Fawney life, and members see rules more as guidelines than absolutes, honoring clan loyalty and profit over rigid legality.
History
Clan Fawney began as a small group of independent traders and smugglers who banded together to survive Awarth’s harsh economic climate. Over time, they developed a reputation for cunning and efficiency, thriving in the gaps between formal trade laws and earning both respect and wariness from other clans. When the Bond of Blood & Brine was established, Clan Fawney joined reluctantly but quickly leveraged their position to defend the rights of smaller and more unconventional trade operators. Today, Fawney remains a major force within Awarth’s economy, blending legitimacy and shadow dealings to stay ahead, often skirting just outside the law but with enough influence to maintain their standing among the Greefolk.
