I'm struggling to pick a Sarkorian clan name to add to the character I'm making, Eirtor Parnknot-<insertclannamehere>. I can't decide out of the clans listed in Lost Kingdoms:

Allriver - No information in the books.

Balemoon - This clan runs Valahuv, a town of survivors, quietly offering troublemakers and strangers to a sangudaemon living in the tunnels under the town in exchange for protection.

Blackearth - This clanline is functionally extinct, their last clanliege committing suicide after his wife died. Famous for their ancestral artifact, the Crown of Feasting Ravens, which traps the souls of each clanliege who has ever worn it so they remain to advise future clanlieges rather than moving on. There is a pocket of inbred survivors living in the neighboring lands of Ustalav, hiding in the Graidmere swamps where they worship the black dragon that calls it home.

Bloodstone - No information in the books.

Clefthorn - This clan runs Gundrun, the largest settlement of Sarkorian survivors in the area, and is constantly looking for warriors to help defend their town.

Everhearth - No information in the books.

Everleaves - No information in the books.

Foundlast - Once one of the richest families in eastern Sarkoris, one of their last living scions runs the market in Gundrun.

Highbough - No information in the books.

Howlingblood - No information in the books.

Icelodge - No information in the books.

Laurelshield - No information in the books.

Meadbow - No information in the books.

Neverhome - A clan with a long history, famous for their god caller summoners whose eidolons were the dawn-feathered children of Sturovenen the Dragoneagle. Also apparently they accepted elves into their clan, as one elven clan-member now haunts her ruined pleasure barge as a banshee, as mentioned in Undead Unleashed.

Neverrun - No information in the books.

Riversoar - The only information in the books is that this clan's stronghold was burned to the ground. It's unclear whether the demons burned it to prevent the Clefthorns from using it as a military base, or if one of the Clefthorns did it, betraying their family in service to Deskari, the demon lord who made the Worldwound.

Stagheart - This clan also had prominent god callers, who communed with an eidolon called Alglenweis, who they believed to be a daughter of the demon lord Kostchtchie and a likely imaginary being called the Stag Mother of the Forest of Stones.

Stareye - No information in the books.

Stormheart - As you alerted me, this clan had a presence in Ustalav where they were driven out by its Varisian founders, who captured their sacred totem stone and wrapped it in chains. This stone has images of Stormhearts dancing in worship to a horrifying entity made up entirely of storms and eyes and apparently can influence the dreams of the residents of the city it now resides in.

Tamer - No information in the books.

Widowknife - The last scion of this clan, Alase Brinz Widowknife, lives in Gundrun and mostly keeps to herself with her wolf-like eidolon Tonbarse. She doesn't know if he's a god or not, and frankly doesn't care, as she's more concerned with helping people. He clanhold once had a large repository of mystical and arcane lore, which is why Areelu Vorlesh, the half-succubus witch who opened the Worldwound with Deskari's aid, now uses it as a stronghold and lab. Not too keen on using this one, as Alase plays a prominent role in King of Chaos.

Windstep - No information in the books.

Wintersun - This clan stayed behind after the Worldwound first opened to try and fight back against the demons, and when the demons finally came through in full force, they were broken and had to flee to Mendev, but not before a demonic taint entered their bloodline that causes deformities and other problems as they eke out a miserable existence as refugees. They play a prominent role in Wrath of the Righteous with Mahrevok in Demon's Heresy, who, if I do go with the Exposed to Awfulness trait like I'm intending right now, would be kin to my PC.

Youngbow - No information in the books.

Any one of these really stick out or make a good story? I'm leery of using the ones with ties to stuff already in the books, but a lot of the others feel like they don't roll off the tongue with Parnknot very well...
