Halfling Clans

Eóganachta
Rarely referred to as a clan, in preference of "Household" or "Royal Household", the Eóganachta are the descendants of the first High King; Eóghan.

In the aftermath of The Exodus, the High King and his household make Dun Duad, an old Thal hold turned fortified great hall, their home within the Dún Ail highlands behind a mighty waterfall.

Their colours are blue and silver, and the royal emblem is a silver crane.

Current head of the clan and reigning High King is Gawain.

Brigantes Clan (Clan Brigainh)
Taking their name from the goddess of fertility, Brigainh, they are the largest (by population) of all the clans, numbering many hundreds of bands. They are the clan most associated with the diaspora - those halflings who live a nomadic life away from the Dún Ail - such that humans often refer to halflings as Brigantes. Whilst many do still hold to halfling traditions and customs, the move away from their traditional name in favour of the humanised equivalent reflects a wider trend towards integration among their bands.

Their colours are green and yellow, and they adorn their banners and with the dandelion.

Clan Mac
They are perhaps the most prestigious clan outside of the royal household.

Clan Osraighe
Their colour is yellow, and their symbol a red half sun, as though on the horizon.

Clan Moglamór
Their colours are purple and red.

Clan Moynagh
Their name carries a reputation of disobedience amongst the wider halfling community - deserved or not. They were among the first to support the druidic prophecy of a new kingdom. Moreso than others, many of their bands actively seek such a home.

Their colours are blue and green, and their clan symbol is a 3 leaves stacked on top of one another.

Clan Ab Nach
They symbol is a sickle.

Smaller Clans
Clan Ab Gaal - One of the oldest halfling clans, they were decimated by their proximity to the volcano upon its eruption, and never truly recovered.

Clan Conn

Clan Finnel

Dal Rianh
Niamh's band (a Moynagh band) and her supporters have since formed a coalition around the formation of the Dal Rianh - the New Kingdom. Drawing the support of bands from various clans, it is often painted by the royal household as being a Moynagh subversion.
