Argan Argar among the Torkani. Ernalda or Maran Gor among some matriarchal clans. There are long ago mentions of Star Clans which imply Rigsdal and other stars held a leadership role. One could argue for a leadership role for Heler but
none of the extant subcults are suitable. Urox, Valind and Humakt are also likely
suspects.
