			== [[Allye/Logs/20240724 Sunfall Hub Munan Visit\|Spirit-Guards]] ==
			Aspect of the [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Eu]]. Spirit-guards embody the interconnectedness of Prydaen spiritual and physical realms. They served not only as defenders but also as caretakers of the clan's spiritual legacy, ensuring that their traditions and beliefs remained alive. They stood against the undead horde until their last.

			== [[Allye/Logs/20240724 Sunfall Hub Munan Visit\|Shadow-Stalkers]] ==
			Aspect of the [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Eu]]. Shadow-stalkers embody Prydaen ideals of stealth, agility, and resourcefulness. They played a crucial role in protecting their clan, gathering intelligence, and maintaining secrecy and skill in the face of outside threats. They did not fail when the monster Lyras swept their lands, and they saved countless, guiding through peril and foiling the things that pursued.

			== [[Allye/Logs/20240724 Sunfall Hub Munan Visit\|Wild-Callers]] ==
			Aspect of the [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Eu]]. Wild-callers embody Prydaen reverence for nature, spiritual harmony, and order. They functioned in maintaining Prydaen's place, their balance in the greater lands that they once inhabited. They were guides, healers, and protectors. They fought bravely, their corpses defiled and turned against the Prydaen.

	== Claw of Azca ==		== [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Azca]] ==
	The Claw of Azca specializes in communications and trade with other races. The founding member, [[Azca]] Fauran, saw that there could be benefits to interaction with the Rakash. Upon their first meetings, she found that the language barrier posed quite a problem, and appealed to the Three for assistance. Demrris gave Azca an artifact that allowed her to understand foreign tongues. Many Prydaen are skeptical of the Claw of Azca, believing them "tainted" by their long association with the furless, and many of their workings are still a mystery. It is rumored that Azca's artifact still exists, and may be shared among members of the Claw.		The Claw of Azca specializes in communications and trade with other races.

	The oldest and most influential of the Claws.

They are the teachers of the people. [[Ra'trel]] was one of the first of these Priests and it is because of him that "Ra" is used in the naming of the members of the Claw of Eu. Any Prydaen who falsely claims to be of the Claw of Eu can be declared Cemsiat.		The oldest and most influential of the Claws.

	== Claw of Demrris ==		== [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Demrris]] ==
	In the beginning when it first became apparent that an organized system of living would be necessary for Prydaen survival, Demrris instructed the first Pride on the creation of Hubs. A Council of Elders was established to oversee the running of the Hub, gatherings of the people, and education of the kits. The oldest of these Elders was Soru Krotaya, and to him Demrris passed the knowledge of Cizayu. The Claw of Demrris ensures that the Hubs are a safehaven for all Prydaen.

	== Claw of Tenemlor ==		== [[Prydaen Claws\|Claw of Tenemlor]] ==
	With the coming of [[Lyras]] and her army of undead to the Prydaen lands, the people found themselves at a loss as to how to combat this new enemy. [[Tiatra]] and her group of followers began to study these creatures, and prayed to Tenemlor for guidance. Tenemlor taught them the ways of the undead, and gave them special weapons with which to fight them. The weapons were bonded to this group, and although they were effective, the group was too small to decimate the undead hoarde. In exchange for the knowledge to fight the undead, the Claw of Tenemlor agreed to worship Tenemlor and Tenemlor alone. At last count there were about twenty members of the Claw left, fifteen on the eastern side of the [[Great Barrier]] and five left in the west to keep watch over the undead.

	The Prydaen "coming of age" ritual, Cizayu symbolizes the transformation from kit to hunter. The knowledge of this ritual was first passed from Demrris to Soru, of the Claw of Demrris. The ritual involves testimony before the Elders from the kits teachers, and a hunt where the kit must prove their worth to the Hub. The last person to undergo the ritual of Cizayu was Vhadin, before the Prydaen fled eastward.		The Prydaen "coming of age" ritual, Cizayu symbolizes the transformation from kit to hunter.
