===== Nine Great Clans =====

==== Background ====
The Nine Great Clans is a group of clans of [[geography:settlement:rudiana|]] that are considered the greatest. Each clan holds mastery over a different branch of creation — from traditional metalwork to arcane engineering, from experimental alloys to living constructs.

Every eight years, the Grand Tournament in the [[geography:rudiana_colosseum|Rudiana Colosseum]] determines which clan stands foremost. From among their ranks, a sage is chosen — judged by Craft, Leadership, and Wisdom — to guide the city and serve as arbiter among the clans.


==== Goals =====
Their primary goal is to push the boundaries of innovation within Rudiana forward. Their secondary goal is to ensure that this boundary remains under control.
