Clan History

Kal-Gar Clan started out as a small community of Halflings from Ferrell many moons ago. The adventurous community set sail for new opportunities. Like all classic explorers there is always a story behind how they ended up in the most unlikely of places. The short version of this tale was they were chased by pirates, to which they managed to evade but in the process took a lot of water and set sail to the nearest dry land. How they managed to settle in Tyedu without meeting a horrible fate? It's a combination of stories but one of the most likely of all was the Halflings being of a small stature, did not pose a threat to other local clans.

The small Halfling community released quickly that Tyedu lands were harsh, hard and dangerous. If they were going to survive the Halflings needed to learn quickly the ways of the land and its people. The community had various trade skills in carpentry, trapping, fishing, trading and negotiation, which aided them greatly over the coming months. A local Barbarian Tribe lead by a Chieftain called Frigar noticed how industrious and resourceful the Halflings were. The Frigar Clan kept their distance from the Halflings but watched over them for many months with curiosity. Soon after the Halflings settled on the coast of Tyedu, Frigar appeared one night to the Halflings wounded and covered with many battle wounds. Frigar had only that night defeated a challenger for leadership of the Clan but he had taken many serious wounds in the duel. It was highly unlikely he would survive the night. In an act of desperation for their clan Chieftain, the Frigar clan’s Eldar’s decided to drag Frigar by oxen down to the Halfling settlers, to see if they could help him. The Halflings took Frigar in and began to tend to his wounds and over time Frigar returned to full health. He owed them a life debt and in time began to love the Halflings as his brothers & sisters. Frigar decided to merge his clan with the Halfling community for both clans to be strong and prosperous. A Spirit-Kin had been watching this story unfold for a great length of time and had taken growing interest into the developments of these two races. She decided to watch over them and develop mantels of interest that the two races shared. The Spirit-Kin appeared to the Frigar’s tribe as a Grey Wolf and passed on knowledge of the Blood Rage and the other Spirit-Kin appeared to the Halflings as a White Ferret and passed the knowledge of the lands and trade. After the spirit god revealed itself, the Clan renamed itself in honour of their Spirit Gods, Clan Kal-Gar. Kal for the Grey Wolf and Gar for the White Ferret. As the generations passed the Halfling community began to evolve and adapt into more of a Tyeduian clan culture and traditions began to form. The tribe grow over the generations to a population just over a 1000 to date.

Clan Hierarchical System, Culture & Traditions

The tribe is led by a council of six elders and a Tribal Chief. When a Tribal Chief dies, the six elders we choose a champion each, who they believe should be the next Tribal Chief. There are a series of tests before finishing with a duel between the last two Champions.

The Humans and Halflings live side by side together and pretty much in harmony. They understand and respect each other’s strengths. Which they work together for the prosperity and protection of the clan.
