Loxidyyne Clan

Formation
Formed at circa 10 100 BCE by Cybella Loxidyyne, the Loxidyyne Clan started as a very small clan to house the quickly growing Loxidyyne family, and other Mxlynian families.

As more clans formed over time, the Loxidyyne Clan ensured they remained hidden from them, not wanting to communicate with other clans or be influenced by them.

Defeat
In 1496 CE, the Collett Clan attacked the Loxidyyne Clan, after the latter refused to join their ever-expanding empire. After almost complete extinction of the Mxlynian species, the Loxidyyne Clan was declared as destroyed after the leader, Kota Loxidyyne was killed. Their surviving children, as well as other some Mxlynians, were able to escape the clutches of the Collett Clan. Many, however, were forced into the Collett Clan, where in the present day a majority of the Mxlynian species reside.

Distaste for Love
What was considered 'essential' to most demonic species and sentient life-forms in general, was rejected by the Loxidyyne Clan. Romance was considered dishonourable, as was sex and marriage.

Individual Independence
Independence was a strong value in the Loxidyyne Clan. Their laws against romance and marriage reinforced this ideal.

Divine Beings
The Loxidyyne Clan worshipped one being, Mother Loxidyyne, believed to have been the very first Mxlynian to have come into existence.

Ranks

 * Clan Leader - The authority of the clan. As Mxlynians usually had four children at one time, the four eldest heirs would undergo various carefully monitored trials to decide which heir would rule the clan.
 * Advisor - An assistant to the leader. Usually unrelated to the Loxidyynes, though sometimes one or two of the siblings of the leader took the spot of advisor.
 * Heir - The offspring, siblings or cousins of the clan leader.
 * Royal Guard - Special soldiers dedicated to protecting the clan and specifically its leader and advisor.
 * General - Hand picked by the clan's leader and advisor, they are in charge of the different military sections of the clan (i.e. the foot soldiers, scouts, royal guard). They are also responsible for the training of their allocated sections.
 * Sorcerer - Specialists in magic that took part in complex rituals for the clan.
 * Foot Soldier - The typical military members of the clan. Those that didn't guard the clan on a daily basis often had a second occupation, as the Loxidyyne Clan didn't get involved in the affairs of or with other clans, meaning they rarely believed they needed a large military.
 * Scout - The 'spies' or long ranged soldiers of the clan. They were the only clan members allowed outside the confines of the Loxidyyne Clan's grounds. They also often had a second occupation.
 * Nurse - Highly trained specialists in medicine and certain areas in magic. As their title would suggest, they do not fight, but rather heal and rehabilitate the injured or ill within the clan.
 * Birthmother - The 'chosen one' who possessed a blood curse to allow them to bare more children than the average Mxlynian, that could possess different genetics to allow diversity within the clan. They were highly respected and sometimes, even had their own personal guards.
 * Shopkeeper - Almost anyone of any status that owned a shop that sold food or other goods for individual profit.
 * Farmer - One of the more numerous ranks within the Loxidyyne Clan, as with a rapidly growing population came high demand for food to feed the clan.
 * Servant - The lowest ranking in the clan. Roles can include as maids/butlers, blacksmiths, shop owners, farmers, etc.
