While it is unknown if there are other banthi clans out in the thick wilderness with different owners and a totally different lifestyle, you cannot deny the possibility. Clans are run with a wolf-like order of society, there being one to five alphas that run one clan. The alphas of the clan keep order in their own particular way. Some will rule like a dictator, others with more of a democratic approach. Others will lean towards a violent path, ordering their clan to go and capture another territory while still some prefer to keep the peace and stay within their own society.
However, there is one thing that alphas have that none others do... a physical representation of their status. For example, Amon and Faizah have wings to symbolize their more calm and yet powerful approach to ruling their clan. When a banthi becomes an alpha of his own clan he will undergo a transformation, growing a new feature that he or she alone will possess.
Clans
The Feral Clan
The Feral clan is named for the majority of banthi inside the clan have animal-like and naturally coloured pelts, with the occasional exception. Run by none other than Amon and his sister Faizah, the two of them were the first to be awakened in the cold, dark cavern they called home and thus were automatically gifted with the strength and power to be alphas from the day they were awakened. The older sibling, Amon, is a large and powerful banthi... but a softy at heart. He would rather make jokes and nap all day than fight. His sister Faizah however is a different story. While still kind and gentle to her clanmates and family, there is a coldness about her that bores into you every time her light blue eyes cast a mean stare. She is regal and proper, often seen patrolling the boarder of her territory or settling disputes among her clanmates.

The Ahnleh Clan
Ahnleh, which means "Snakecharm" in the ancient language, was decided to be the name of the clan. As such, it helps to demonstrate that the majority of the members have some snake aspect. With the old clan long since gone, Raajmuat decided to take the challenge of reviving this once strong and proud clan. The clan has taken up residency in the mountains of the south, where a series of caves all connect to form the basis of their home in the mountains. In the center of all this is the temple where the statues stand. What sets this clan apart is that they worship three important deities: Kiesha'Ra, Nikhil, and Danuta. Besides their religion, the Ahnleh clan has customs, celebrations and values in which they try to uphold and to help set them apart from everyone else.
How to Become an Alpha
Becoming an alpha is hard work and takes a lot of dedication. Take it to heart when I say it takes a lot of roleplay to get your banthi the alpha status of his own clan. Banthi are born into an already existing clan and would leave for a number of reasons - but a novice banthi won't survive long on his own unless he knows what he's doing. I have no set amount of roleplay it takes for alpha status just yet, but if you think you've done enough then shoot the mule a PM with links to all related roleplays and a request. I'll look them over and if you have enough, then your banthi will be able to create it's own clan. Keep in mind your banthi will need proof that at least five other banthi are joining as well.
For the alpha mutation and it's own subforum in the guild however, it will include a fee. After reading all of your roleplay, I'll be able to determine how your banthi will run their clan enough to suggest a couple of mutations they could receive and the prices for each. From that you'll be able to pick which mutation you would like for you banthi.
Why do I give you a list to choose from instead of letting you pick your own, you ask? It's to keep things original. If you plan on wanting wings, or a mutation that has already been done then forget about it. It's to keep people from getting the same thing over and over. Don't worry though, we can think up some awesome mutations. twisted
Another way to become alpha is also to defeat a current one in battle after you've challenged them. An alpha challenge isn't the same as a spar battle, as the current alpha has to agree to step down before hand. If they loose... then they have no choice to step down. However, this will only give the new alpha the territory, and the rein of the clan's activities and how it's run. They do not acquire mutations and cannot rename the clan.
(Your banthi will only be added to a clan if it has made a journal in the guild. If you do not have a journal but wish to be part of a certain clan, feel free to PM this account stating so and which clan you want your banthi to join along with their certed image. All banthi not roleplayed at all are simply considered to not exist in the RP-world.)
How to Claim & Expand Territory
Now, once you're in an alpha status, you need some territory right? Not a problem! Once it's been made official and your banthi has it's mutation and subforum in the guild, you'll need to pick out a place on the map where your clan will reside. Now at first you'll get little to no territory since your clan is still small, but as your clan increases in size your territory will as well! To put in a request for your territory to increase, all you have to do is PM this account and give me proof that 10 or more NEW banthi have joined since the initial starting, or the last time you increased your territory. As for banthi who beat out an existing alpha, they are automatically given the territory... however, it's not that as easy to maintain as it sounds.
