I used this in the background for the neighbouring clan in my game. The clan's founding chief and his retainers were slaughtered in their feasting hall, and the clan fled and never dared return. No-one remembers where Iskan's old feasting hall was now, but it's somewhere in the woods, haunted by the old wyter. Though, back then, I didn't know it was a *wyter*, I thought it was a ghost. ;) Fortunately for the PCs, it seemed to take a liking to them when they visited.

Funnily enough, in next week's session of my game, the job in hand is
going to be finding a safe place to hide the clan regalia in the
aftermath of the Dundealos rebellion.
Then, away to Heortland or Prax to hide, sulk and plot terrible
revenge against the Lunars.
The *real* adventure with the clan regalia will be getting it back again, of course...
