Clan Relations

From The Orthorbbae Library

With Nine Great Clans, many minor clans, and a population of merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and other commoners, the balance of power in Chel'el'sussoloth is a precarious thing. The drow are, if nothing else, a dynamic people and entire political situations can change in a few cycle's time; even overnight. It would be impossible to track every single individual's loyalty or bias, however, it's simple to follow what one Clan's attitude, as a whole, is towards another.

Clan Relations Table

Each Clan has a different relationship with one another. Alliances are made, wars are fought; yesterday's enemy could be tomorrow's ally. The following Clan Relations Table shows, in color, the current status of the clans. The columns display that Clan's views towards other Clans, while the rows indicate how that Clan is perceived.

A green box indicates friendly status. Exchanges are smooth and ambassadors may visit freely without invitation. Alliances are possible, and aggression between the Clans' individual members is suppressed.

A yellow box indicates neutral status. Relations are uneasy and invitations are required for members of the opposing Clan to enter the fortress walls. Diplomacy is handled case by case, and a Clan's army is not welcome on another Clan's turf.

A red box indicates hostile status. Diplomacy is, at best, an exchange of insults and anything is permitted; war can break out at any time. Friendly relations between individual members from opposed Clans is not recommended.
