  • Skullcrusher Traditions


    Clan Skullcrusher has a proud history and many traditions have arisen.

    Trial of Honor is the trial that all new clan members undergo. The Skullcrushers do not allow all who seek shelter to enter the Great Hall. First a member must prove they are worthy of the clan's trust and respect. First adopted by Chieftain Grulg as a way to eliminate the weak from the clan in the early days of the clan. 

    Oath of Honor is taken after the trial of honor to consummate the peons life withing the clan.  The peon must swear loyalty and partake of the pee tub.  A ritual that could only be dreamed up by Uglutz. 

    Oath of Blood must be taken by all Skullcrushers.  The clan blood is combined in a mystical ceremony.  After the ceremony, member are bonded spiritually and gain many new abilities.  Some of which are the ability to sense and communicate  with  the clan at will.

    Ritual of Bloodis a rite of passage that clan veterans must survive to be considered a clan champion. The ritual involves combat between a clan mates.  Literally, the veteran displays his blood before the clan.  The requirements of the conflict mystically bond him to the bloodline. The combat requires ceremonial weapons, vestments, and incantations designed not to be fatal but to open many wounds. In this way clan blood is mixed symbolically bonding the members as kin. First adopted by Volonazra after he developed the means of performing such magics.  Its purpose is to allow strange empathic communication to all bonded clan mates, further bonding the peoples of the clan.

    Ritual of Ascendance-it was the belief of Elder Uglutz that power could be passed on after death. A fallen clansman would be taken back to base camp and given a banquet. The climax of the event was when the fallen were consumed by the clan. Thereby the power they held was absorbed into those that feasted. This tradition was outlawed during the reign of Volonazra and therefore not in much practice today.

    There are more clan traditions.  Most are highly guarded secrets only told to trusted clan mates.
