How the Hiording came into existance
Here is how the clan started out when they arrived in the vale: Fyrd: 65 fyrd-men, 7 huscarls, 2 noble. Old Hiord married Sofeela the Swan Maiden, who is a little goddess of the Swan Vale. His seven sons are the main bloodlines of his small clan. Sofeela has blessed them with much wealth and many new steads start to dot the Swan Vale.
Hiord was the founder of the Hiording Clan, an immigrant to the Quivini Hills from Heortland who stole the magical wrap of a swan maiden named Safeela. She stayed with Hiord for seven years, and their children head the main bloodlines of the clan. The two of them had 7 sons: Jarnolf the Priest, Fritholf the Lawspeaker, Angarorl the Chief, Jorasor, Aslandar, Dangmar and Penterest. Two other families have joined the Hiording, and now there are nine bloodlines in the clan.
The Hiording Clan joined the original 5 clans of the Colymar in order to seek protection from the enemy Vardani clan. Although originally very open and hospitable, the invasion by Lunar and Tarsh has made them more mistrustful, and a lot more effort is being made in order to be ready for war.
The Hiording were very much oriented towards farming, but in the latest decennia some of the families built new Steads in the southern hills. Although the ground is less rich there, a Stead in the hills provides much better protection. Also, the fact that some families focus on hunting more than farming, prepares the clan better for the cold winters. Since the Karanen and Jaarsten households joined, the Hiording also have a lot more herders. So more and more, the cult focuses on three economic strengths: farming, herding and hunting.
The clan spirit is the Swan, and whenever the Clan Stead is threatened, the elders of the Clan will try to summon the clan spirit to the aid of the Stead of Swan.
Open issues concerning the Colymar grounds
From RuneQuest Daily, by Sam
REDBIRD
-------
It seems to me that Redbird was Colymar until two of the Three-Tree clans were forced to join the Malani by the Lunars - Lysan and Namoldin(g) - in 1613.
But who owns it after 1613? There are a few options,
1) It has been taken over by the Lunar Army. Quite plausible this one but there is no proof anywhere.
2) It is still held by the Colymar. Well, the Antorling "Apple" Clan are still in the Arfritha vale and the birches of "over two ridges, from the place where birches grow" are only a mile(ish) west of Redbird which KoS claims is still owned by the Antorlings. Perhaps the Antorlings hold it. Possible, but I highly doubt that the Lunars would be into this. Also, Greg's map contradicts Kos on this, putting the extent of the Antorling lands a good few miles short of the birches.
3) The Malani hold it. Three sub possibilities;
i) The Lysan(g) hold it. Possible as they live to the north and west of Redbird around Larnste's Table. Unlikely as they probably still hold some loyalty to the Colymar.
ii) The Namoldin(g) hold it. Also possible as they hold the land to the west of Redbird. Unlikely for the same reasons.
iii) It has been given to the Malani, *but* the former Colymar tribes cannot be trusted to use it in the interest of the Malani and so has to be policed in some way, either by Lunars or other Malani or both. My favourite theory.
Of course, these theories seem to revolve around the fact that the Malani are in the Lunar Pocket. A fact I appear to have taken for granted, but now I come to think of it, I fear I have no proof for. Did I read it or did I make it up? The only reference I can find, somewhat hurriedly (If anyone could shed light on this I would be grateful) is that they were not among Starbrow's Rebellion. As this was concluded around Larnste's Table "with the Lunar army visible below" I would assume that the Lysan were involved making them less of a candidate for the Redbird holders *and* perhaps it was at Redbird that the Lunar's were camped at.
I could well be wrong in my assumption that the Malani were not great resisters of the Lunars, in which case many more of the above scenarios could be possible. I still doubt that it is Colymar though.
My campaign has Redbird Policed by the Lunars and ruled by an Orleving. My reasons are not really logic rather than story-preference. With the Orlevings holdin 2 forts around the Varmandi it makes them a real nasty enemy. Also as the Varmandi are the *most* warlike of the Colymar it would seem good politics for the Lunars to put their sworn enemies between them and the rest of Lunars in Boldhome and Jonstown.
Larnste's Table
---------------
Apart from being a big hill with a flat top, what *is* Larnste's table and what does it have to do with the affore mentioned God of mobility? Is this where Larnste stopped to chat with "the ancient one" perhaps the Ormthane in Ormthane vale? (if indeed Ormthane does mean Dragon King). Perhaps they shared a goblet or two apon this very spot?
Black Altar
-----------
What is this? It doesn't appear on Greg's maps other than being close to the grave of Iskell Varmandson where he was done-in by Orlev One-eye. Quite why this would justify a "black altar" I have no Idea. This is, I fear, a red herring. Why is there a road leading to it on the Apple Lane map? There isn't one on Greg's Colymar map. Are Black Altar and Tarndisi's grove the only two altar's in the Colymar lands? My advice would be to tippex them out of the Apple Lane map and forget them until someone comes up with something better.
Lunar Manors
------------
There are a two of these marked on Greg's map. One by the Swan River and the road south of Runegate. One just south of Old man in the Nymie Vale. There is a Lunar Rune drawn on the Runegate one. Does this signify some sort of temple? What is meant by a "manor"? A farm, a Roman style manor house, a semi military base?
Askander`s ridge
----------------
Haha! How Gregged can you get! This is mentioned in the WMFTM in Genertela:Player's book. It refers to "trolls ... that ate all the sheep on Askander's Ridge". I took this to mean that this ridge is probably somewhere around the Varmandi's lands.. Oh, but NO! It lies directly south of Boldhome, probably just west of Richberry Vale and Lookout and south of Ingan. Not even Colymar land, let alone Varmandi. This is also the place marked as where Barngradus, second Colymar King, fought Borngold the Usurper (c. 1350ish?).
Hound Knob
----------
A large hill directly 4-5 miles south of apple lane, just north of Tarndisi's Grove. It doesn't appear on the Apple Lane map. At least not the new one. There is two contenders on the old map. I recon this is what the large lump marked on Jon Quaife's map in TotRM5 is although I reckon his pen slipped when he named the dragon-newty-runey-thingy Hound Knob instead. The splodge next to it says "Agbor`s Stead" or "Asbor's" depending on how you read the handwriting.Queen Leika is killed at the Battle of Hound Knob c1638. If Larnste's Table looks like a table I wonder what this looks like?
Varmandi Tula
-------------
The main Varmandi settlement is at Oakton which is derictly between Swanton, Tarkalor keep and Rainbow Mounds. Solid Oak Stead is 2 milesish North east of Oakton. Both are on or around the swan river. Swan is on the Swan river; Apple lane is at least a mile south of the southern split. The Swan river serves as the south boundry for the Varmandi lands. Sadly, I had the whole lot in the Ormthane Vale. The Orlevings swamped the south Ormthane Vale in 1400.
Tarkalor Keep
-------------
It is unclear from Greg's map whether this is or isn't part of the Varmandi Lands. Minaryth Blue was born here in 1597 and he was a Hiording (Swanson). Greg's map puts it either within or just North of the Varmandi lands. The Orlevings came this way around 1400ish. It has 1572? written beside it. I wonder what that means.. Was this a look-out post againsed the Lunar king Phargentes of Tarsh and his army? Did Tarkalor ever stay here? He was married to the Feathered Horse Queen in 1575 so if he did he probably didn't stay long. Tarkalor Keep isn't mentioned in the Zin Letters either. I would assume that it *was* built by Tarkalor in 1572 who had been king for 3yrs. Who owns it now? The Lunars? Why would they leave a valuable keep to the Colymar? Being it is only 5 miles from Runegate, how did it escape being caught up in the Lunar Attack of 1602?
Apple Lane
----------
"..on the traditional boundry between the Colymar and the Malani". Greg's Colymar map would mark it out as well within the Hiording boundry. Is it independent? Which clan if any did Gringle represent on the high council?
Zarran & Taral Wars & Karandoli clan
------------------------------------
I think these started in 1400ish when the Orlevings moved south through the Ormthane Vale, forcing the Varmandi out. Earlier in the beginning of the 1300s the Varmandi had been forced out of the Afritha vale by the Namoldin, Lysan and Antorling(?) (or whoever they were before). With the advancing Orlevings the Varmandi saw this is a good opertunity to try to reclaim some of their old land and duly attacked the Karandoli(?). Venharl was king of the Colymar at this time and also a Karandoli. He died at the beginning of the Zarran Wars (c.1418). The Zarran wars ended with the destruction of the Karandoli tribe and the passing of the Malani tribe. This contradicts what is said in "Lost Clans" which says they arrived *after* the passing of the Malani and were destroyed by Jenstli clan magic. Also, if the Karandoli clan *were* destroyed around 1420 then where was Ortossi (Colymar king 1479-1491) from? The Varmandi also claim to have destroyed the Karandoli in the Taral War (supposedly before the Zarran Wars). Confused? You will be... in The Second Wave, the Zarran war is said to be over by 1360. If the Karandoli were in the Brambleberry Hills then they weren`t even the Varmandi's Neighbours.
