Clan Description

Settlements

A clan that has sided with Garios, of the Western Empire.

Sympathetic - Border guards - many sacrifices but much sense of entitlement
Ancestor was Asurai emir
Draw on Akritic ballads

Crotor's family, the house of Dionicos, has taken charge of the empire's northwestern defenses for generations. The clan's leaders are more likely to keep the company of border raiders and scouts than senators in the capital. Crotor has backed Garios in the civil war, largely due to his innate sense of loyalty to a fellow comrade-in-arms.
