OK, fine. We'll carry inventing them, then, and not worry too much if some of them end up wearing red uniforms and dying in Scene 1.

???
"Remember" implies I'd ever known this. That's a *lot*.

Er... But they're at WW?

That lot all being pro-Broyan, 'cos he's their High King? And liable to send him supplies, lend him warbands and so on? 100 clans in that lot?

4K in Whitewall???? I thought we'd decided that it was almost unpopulated due to being so impractical?

Most of these names mean very little to me - what impact will they have on WW support?

I'm getting lost here. That was "until" about 50 years ago. To what extent is it relevant in the "now" of 1620? Does it make them actively pro-Broyan, actively anti-Lunar, or what?
