The Hafsdraumr Clan

Who are Clan Hafsdraumr?


Clan Hafsdraumr is one of two native fox tribes that inhabit the Starfall Archipelago. Unlike their red counterparts, they are short and stocky arctic foxes with an at times savage disposition, a love of brutality above honesty, and a strongly direct attitude towards the world and the people within. They have little care for tact, and even less for pleasantries, and are known in Starfall for their flaring tempers, their unyielding wills and the zealous dedication with which they throw themselves in battle.

Despite their savage brutality, they are considered a noble and honourable tribe, who possess a deep love of tradition and order, and tend to become the de facto protectors where guards are unavailable or otherwise not present. The clan itself is a strict democratic matriarchy. This means that leadership is not inherited and is determined by popular vote, most often when the current matriarch dies or steps down. Only women can be elected leader of the clan, and their tenure is in effect indefinite, barring unanimous vote from the clan to depose her.

Appearance
They are characteristically white-furred, with head manes in the white to silver or light blonde range, and they share the same mutated eyes as their Raudhurhali cousins, covered by a protective, coloured sheen. This membrane seems to occlude their iris and pupil, and does not share the same colour as the eyes they protect, and therefore it is impossible to know a Hafsdraumr or Raudhurhali's natural eye colour without surgical intervention. These membranes seem to both protect the eyes from the high light environment of summer, and reflect enough light to make seeing easier in the low light of winter.

The Hafsdraumr foxes have few dark patches on their fur, if any at all, and their noses are almost always dark brown or black in colour. Their paw pads tend to be in the dark grey to black range.
