I loved the recent discussion on tribes and clans and lineages and lunar names, etc etc etc etc, and it prompted a few ideas on Carmanian noble houses. Here is the first result. One of the initial questions I had to ask was this. Will I keep the House as the inclusive measurement, and have a House contain many lineages? Or, will I have the Clan as the inclusive measurement, and include many Houses within a Clan? I have chosen the second. This will require some changes in my other Carmanian material.

The Clans

The clans and their populations according to the tax census of 1610, which is also used to apportion votes in the Young Council (so presumably it is accurate), are as follows. Note that each clan other than the Magi will also be broken up by house, into somewhere between 3 and 30 houses.

   1.Halai 15,352 
   2.Milauz 13,596 
   3.Peg 12,054
