  The Island Clans

  Clan of the Strong Arm

  K’thar (Kuh-THARR) – Hunter, de-facto leader of Strong Arm, resonates to Lauren/Lo. Owner of Kki/Fat One.

  J’shel (Juh-SHELL) – Young hunter of Strong Arm, resonates to Hannah. Very cheerful. Long braid. Dirty talker.

  N’dek (Nuh-DECK) – Hunter of Strong Arm, recently lost a leg in a kaari attack. No longer depressed and sitting around the fire a lot. Resonated to Devi and has prosthetic leg.

  Vaza – adopted parent of Z’hren, older sa-khui male, once of Croatoan. Loves to give advice, most of it bad.

  Clan of the Tall Horn

  R’jaal (Arr-JAHL) – Clan leader of Tall Horn. Kinda lonely.

  T’chai (Tuh-SHY) – Hunter of Tall Horn, resonates to Marisol. He is attacked by skyclaw on the island and nearly killed. His wounds get infected and he nearly dies, so the healer stops his resonance.

  M’tok (Muh-TOCK) – Hunter of Tall Horn, resonates to Callie. Likes things neat and orderly. Bit of a sneak.

  S’bren (Suh-BRENN) – Hunter, brother to M’tok. He’s the brawn (the Pinky?) to M’tok’s brains. Goober around women. Steals Penny for himself and resonates to her.

  Clan of the Shadowed Cat

  I’rec (I WRECK) – Clan leader. Kind of a shit-stirrer. Also kinda hates S’bren now.

  O’jek (Oh-JECK) – Hunter. Quiet. Also not a fan of S’bren at the moment.

  A’tam (Uh-TAMM) – Hunter, said to be the handsomest on the island. Currently messed up over Bridget.

  U’dron (Ooh-DRONN) – Hunter. Fisher. All around sporty type. Plays a mean drum.
