To begin within the world of Aratheon, we should start with the characters that are present within the main story of the series Seasons of the Cycle. You can find book 1, Broken Souls here on Wattpad.
The Northern Clans of the human race within Coderon are made up of what some would consider, savages. However, they consider themselves free people of the north and have a rich history with as much depth as the Dead Sea. Their ancestors date back to the first human settlers in the north and some even have a mix of Giant in them.
The Northerners will always think of themselves as independent from the southern human kingdom. They refuse to bend their knees to any southern king and rarely do the 9 separate clans ever listen to each other. Some even hate each other. Among them is a bitter rivalry between the Wolf clan and the Kraken clan. Wars have broken out among them many times in the past and they can rarely ever see eye to eye. Only a few times have they ever put their differences aside to unite and once was under the leadership of King Teowulf who united the clans against the southern king Vandil in his conquest to unite the human realms and reclaim the throne.
The clans are listed as follows.
The Kraken Clan
Located in Stormfront.
The current leader is Beorcol Thorgrimsson
Their mostly known for their sea raiders called Vikings.
The Eagle Clan
Not much is known about them, not even their location.
The Wolf Clan
Located in Fenris Village
Current leader is Jarl Bjarni Vikarsson
Rumor has it, the Wolf Clan can talk to wolves and uses them as scouts to guard their forest and protect their village.
The Valkyrie Clan
Located in Forsa Village
Current Leaders
The Matriarch is Dasyra Ragnarsdottir
The Tribal Chieftess is Amalgunda
The War Chieftess is Amalasontha
Rumor has it that their village is made up completely of women. At least the free citizens are. The only men within the city are slaves. At least, that are what the rumors mention.
The Giant Clan
Located in High Mountain Village
The current leader is Chief Kveldulf
They are rumored to be the decedents of the Jotunn/Jotnar giants from lands north of the Dead Sea. Their enormous size gives credence to the rumor.
The Builder Clan
Located in Holmslatr Village
The current leader is Chief Trefor Treharne
The Builders have been known to be one of the only non-violent clans within the northern tribes/clans. They forsake violence and dedicate themselves to the act of building and craftsmanship.
The Ice Tribe
Located in Avala Village
Current Leadership:
The current Jarl is Kadal Bothvarsson, brother to the deceased King Teowulf Bothvarsson.
The current Raid Leader is Ealhstan Kadalsson
The current Spiritual Leader is Eawyn, widowed wife of the deceased King Teowulf Bothvarsson.
The Bone Eater Tribe
The only thing we really know about them is that they have been known to partake in cannibalism along with wearing the skins and heads of the people and beasts they kill. They’ve been ostracized from the other clans.
Not much is known about the ninth tribe, not even their name. Some think they no longer exist, and others proclaim they’re hidden within the mountains. Some claim they’re a clan of Yeti, but not much is known about the North in general, let alone each tribe individually. The Northerners only recently have taken to writing their history down on parchment and most of it was passed down orally which makes us question the validity of such tales spoken.
Earl Beorcol Thorgrimsson
