Customs of the
Clan


Clan Elders



Since anyone can remember the Clan has been run by our Elders.
Teaching the children our ways, ensuring the welfare of the Clan and
making the important decisions to ensure are safety and survival.
In recent years Grand Ma has come to lead the Elders and rule the Clan.
Sternly when needs be. All major concerns must be run past her.
Minor decisions may be dealt with by one of the other elders or by
Grand Ma's voice who act's for her when the factions meet.
			
Work


Work and Career is an important factor in Clan life.
All members are encouraged to take a vocation in life to bring
home food for the table or the money to buy it with.
With the current number of Clans folk active in national and
international affairs Grand Ma has opened this up to include
bringing favor and good will to the Clan.
Some Clan members have taken on the role of Journey Man to seek
far and wide the skills that will take them through life. 
			
Meals


Meal time is of great importance to the whole Clan, not just the Ogres.
A time to come together and discuss our day to day lives with our kin.
Grand Ma takes particular attention a these times to make sure all her
children (as she views the Clan) are well fed and happy. Each with there
own bibs marked with their first initial.
Even when the Clan travels abroad it will make the effort to sit down and
share at least one meal together each day.
			
Midwinter's
Festival

Once a year the Clan gets together as a whole to share news of what
has passed, celebrate births and mourn those departed. Marquees are laid
out and heated. Traditional decorations are hung and Grand Ma cooks for
all of us. Even those on guard have a fair feast taken out to them.
It is during this festival that a census is taken of the Clan and to keep
the records up to date.
