The caste structure is usually led by the Grung Clan's Orange/Golden Grung. With all other grung following orders. The Grung of Renstrom have seperated themselves into various Grung Clans. The clan that can produce the the most powerful grung they will then receive the honor of being the highest caste of the clans. The winning Grung Clan gets to host the next clan rumble and rule over the other clans similarly like the golden grung rules over their verious clans. The Grung of Vincrial are of one Clan. They live among the various islands to the southwest of the continent. Each caste coloring of grung live on their own seperate but close island. Each island has a represenative with a golden tatoo that reports directly to the Golden Grung.

The grung were able to freely pass the coasts of the Impassable Mountains after a ship crashed on the wrong side of the coast line. This set off the very first omen of the Vow Tangible. This ship had inhabitants of Renstrom that were never to set foot on the west side of the Continent of Vincrial. This is also were the original caste of grung live. The grung of the Continent of Vincrial live on the souther isles and tend to roam the coast lines but will never traverse a river.
