Every noble clan is a family that controls a small domain under the rule of the crown. The head lord or lady of the clan oversees the family, lands, and other wards on behalf of Oricalis. Clan Hermit was one of the ten major clans still standing at the end of the brutal Clan Culling, a war that narrowed the clans down from the original twenty—one clan for each Major Arcana, said to have been founded by the original acolytes of the Fool. Clan Hermit had survived countless ups and downs throughout the history of Oricalis. But they couldn’t survive Kaelis.
