SkekNa believed their essence had longevity-enhancing properties, and the port of Cera-Na was their capital. By reputation, the Sifa were known never to give advice or material away without payment, never forgot a slight, and were as dangerous as they were adventurous, with some Sifans practicing slavery. They worshiped the wind for dictating their fates on the Silver Seas, were experts on symbology, and were famed for their magical charms which they would sell to other clans. The Sifans were once homogeneous, but life as traders, mariners, fishermen, and travelers resulted in a racially heterogeneous clan that accepted many. Far above a cleft of rock lead to the surface, but at so great a distance that it typically appeared as a small moon when it was light outside. Rising east of the Dark Wood, north of the urRu valley, west of the grass lands and south of the silver sea the grot mountains were honeycombed with a complex cave network navigable only to the Grottan Clan, and at the center was Domrak village, the capital of the clan overlooking a completely still lake. SkekTek believed their essence to have sight-enhancing properties, but reaching their deep abodes was incredibly difficult. Grottans also had ears large enough to identify faint echoes, and despite their small numbers, their total longevity was roughly three or four times greater than other Gelfling.
The Drenchen were ruled by Maudra Laesid.Ī minuscule clan numbering no more than three dozen, the green-skinned Grottans lived underground for so long that their eyes became nearly solid black, so incredibly sensitive to light that they could see even in the darkest caves. The trek into their native swamps was so exhaustive that Skeksis frequently skipped the Drenchen during tithing ceremonies and censuses, and at the center of said swamp was the Great Smerth encircling a massive, identically named tree, serving as the capital. Like all Gelfling, female Drenchen had wings, but they were more suited to swimming underwater as fins. Being typically more rotund and hirsute than other Gelfling, the Drenchen nevertheless excelled at combat if they could be motivated to make the effort.
The Dousan Clan was ruled by Maudra Seethi.Īmphibious Gelfling living in the Swamp of Sog to the south, Drenchens had a greenish complexion and usually wore their hair in dreadlocks. Within the center of the Crystal Sea was the Wellspring, a hidden oasis where the clan congregated and served as a makeshift capital. They were viewed with suspicion by both Skeksis and other Gelflings alike, having a reputation for worshiping death, and were not permitted to serve as guards in the Castle of the Crystal. The Dousan also focused more of their attention on the afterlife than their current lives, abstaining from materialism. Culturally, the Dousan were unusually quiet in order to not "waste moisture", speaking more often with gestures than whispered word, although music was focal to their shamanic rituals, said to invoke the Song of Thra. They resided within mobile "sandships", bone-and-crystal constructs that travelled the desert like seafaring ships, while on foot their crystalweave cloaks made them nigh on invisible within the Crystal Sea. The Dousan Clan lived in the Crystal Desert, a sprawling desert comprised of tiny crystals rather than sand. The Seven Clans Dousan Main article: Dousan Clan
