House of the Gilded Longleaf

One of the clans of the Elothean nation.

Dedicated to nature and the outdoors, this House has no permanent residence and is the most likely to allow itself to be called a "clan". The leaders rotate every ten years, so it is difficult to ascertain whether the House leans toward male or female, and, in fact there is a saying in the House of the Gilded Longleaf that, "All the members, at some point, will be a leader." Rangers, Empaths, and Traders tend to spring from this House, and the children have ginger to blonde hair, green and sometimes gold eyes. Initiation (when you can find the House) is to cup a butterfly in one's hands without bruising the wings. Betrayal is followed by a swift death and a burial beside an oak tree, where the House members weep for the lost soul of the House member.
