Clan Origins

Nearly as old as Clan Gravenrail, legend has it that Clan Grizzlehorn was founded by a master blacksmith who was so gifted, that even Fenrir himself sought armor from him. Grizzlehorn was able to prosper over the years as its family business boomed with the onslaught of war and the endless need for their products and services. Over time, they have become masters of their craft and produce the finest weapons, armor, leatherwork, and other gratuitous adornments for all races (though their current product lines have focused primarily on Icewarg customers after the city was closed off). Wargs the world over would seek out their products, which are always officially branded with their Clan’s insignia to help identify them from their competitors and counterfeiters. Icewarg of Grizzlehorn are typically adorned with flashy trinkets (i.e., “bling”) displayed via piercings, braided into their manes, or worn as traditional jewelry (necklaces, rings, etc.) that work to identify them and their level of mastery. To join this Clan, one must apprentice under a master crafter and produce something worthy of the Clan’s insignia.

Clan Culture & Values

Clan Grizzlehorn places emphasis on the art of creation and the art of the sale - they are the craftsmen of the Icewarg, and thus, they take great pride in the artistic process, and it is through that process that the clan finds its values. Diligence, to always be aware and careful of the effort one is putting into their work and towards the customer. Harmony, for without it, separate ingredients and parts do not make a whole, and sales cannot be made. Discipline, for it takes a great deal of it to hone and master one’s craft, and one’s speech. Patience, for much the same reason. Focus, because it is out of focus that art can be born and profit made. And finally, Mastery, the true mark of an artisan and the legacy of the Grizzlehorn name. One must embody these values to truly count themselves amongst this Clan of Niflheim.

This Clan is the backbone of Niflheim’s economy, and they know it. Not only is legendary craftsmanship considered a staple for Clan Grizzlehorn, but over the generations, the drive and passion for making coin has also become a staple as well. They pride themselves on great customer service as well as being the crafters of legendary pieces. Some might observe that there are the occasional generational rights within the Clan; many embrace the love and respect for coin, while the more traditional members of Clan Grizzlehorn frown upon it, believing that the Clan ought to focus more on the art of creation than anything else.

The Grizzlehorn Guildcraft Faire

Summer

For five days of the year, Clan Grizzlehorn hosts a mighty guild fair in Iringard, the peak of which is the summer solstice. Grizzlehorn craftsmen from all over Niflheim are invited to gather to show off and sell their wares and compete in various competitions. Warg from other Clans are invited and encouraged to shop amongst the guilds, but only Clan Grizzlehorn members compete in the competitions, which consist of glassblowing, leatherworking, blacksmithing, and various other artisan crafts. On the summer solstice, other Clan members are welcome to watch and observe the actual competitions, at the end of which, winners are crowned and a great feast on their behalf is held at the center of the fair. Even the King of the Icewarg is usually in attendance at the feast. It’s a light and boisterous time, and much of Clan Grizzlehorn spends most of the year preparing for it.
