dandylion's Clan

The clan ＩＵＢＡＲＩＳ resides in a massive acropolis overlooking the seas at the edges of the Sunbeam Ruins. The entire territory maintained by the clan spans from south of the Beacon of the Radiant Eye to the eastern reaches of the Hewn City. While the majority of the clan inhabits the acropolis, a number of volunteers and appointed dragons have begun to populate the derelict structures of the Hewn City in an effort to restore and study them as several notable Light clans already have done.

Referred to by the clan as the Elysian Sea, the unending fields of tall golden grasses beneath the acropolis are the source of most the clan's resources, with the exception of the ocean providing all seafood. Anything the clan cannot generate on its own territory they trade for in the large markets held on the Sundial Terrace or Mirrorlight Promenade.

A heretic sect known as the House of the Amaranthine ........

Justiciar: Proxy of the monarch, also acts as an adviser and mediator between the leader(s) and clan in the event of conflict or any difficult issue the leader(s) cannot settle on their own. Organizes border patrols, scouting parties, hunting/gathering parties, etc. Can only ever be one.
Oracle: Vessel to the Lightweaver, seer to the clan. Seldom leaves the lair, save to make regular journeys to The Beacon of the Radiant Eye for guidance in the clan's decisions. Presents all oracles before the monarch and acolytes. Rarely takes up apprentices to become acolytes. Can only ever be one.
Warmaster: Chief of combat operations, second to the monarch and justiciar, and skilled in both physical and magic battle disciplines. Oversees the training of warrior and mage apprentices.
Magistrate: Appointed by the monarch and justiciar to regulate the public. Handles minor transgressions and brings larger crimes to the attention of their superiors.
