Scorpion clan

The Scorpian Clan are an industrious barbarian clan who are known for their complicated machinery and interactions with the Civilised. They live on the westernmost part of Barbarus bordering The Kalsean desert.

History
The Scorpian Clan have proven to be a very adaptive clan in many aspects. Due to their close proximity with the Civilised in the west, they have taken the opportunity to take features of culture, art, science and technology from the Civilised and other factions and adapting it to their own needs. This was most certianly the case during The Second Expansion by the Civilised when they intergrated spies from Kalsean into the scorpion clan. The scorpions who were eager to learn about the ways of The Civilised quckly began to form agreements from the Civilised and eventually once the Civilised expeditionary force was on the march to Barbarus, the Scorpions along with their neighbors the Viper Clan let the Civilsed pass through the borders of Barbarus unharmed.



Society and culture
"We have no need for bards, for our books and scrolls are our bards" - Izarnn Kaimokarn during talks with the Aardwolf Clan

Military
It showed that the Scorpion Clan were not so afraid of change and the adandonment of old traditions. When most of the clans of Barbarus still used bards and stories to pass their culture onto new generations, the Scorpion Clan started to write and document everything using the Civilised alphabet, along with teaching literacy in small academies for citizens to learn from.

The Scorpion Clan then based their form of rulership around a meritocracy (a form of government where offcials are elected because of their merits in a certain knowledge or skill). This meant that the clan would gain clan leaders who were considered intellectuals and experienced leaders.
