The Clans of Krakonia
After The Unification Wars , The Kingdom of Krakonia was founded, but that did not remove all semblance of individualism from the country. As part of the negotiations, many rivals and enemies formed clans of their own within Krakonia's budding political structure, taking on specific problems for the betterment of the nation while maintaining their own cultural traditions. Typically, new members are born into their clan, but those who are not in any clan are generally allowed to apply to join one depending on prerequisite accomplishments, the details of which are different for each clan. In exchange for loyalty, including following clan traditions and valuing the needs of the clan over that of oneself or others, members of a clan gain access to special quests that normal adventurers are not licensed to take as well as other bonuses depending on the clan. However, as long as one clan member is present, they are allowed to invite allies from outside of the clan in order to boost productivity.
Throughout the year, there are "friendly" competitions between clans as a means of evaluating the strength of each clan. Winners get bonuses, prizes, and are more likely to be recruited for specific causes. These competitions vary in levels of danger, with some being simple team sport competitions, similar to the Olympics, and others are more deadly, such as gladiator fights or other such tests of courage and skill. In these deadlier competitions, neutral (in regards to clans, not alignment) clerics are stationed to both reduce the likelihood of death as well as referee the competitions, but since clerics are not always in the right place at the right time, or simply not skilled enough for specific injuries, some death is always inevitable in these competitions.
