Recently created house of Fae and mortals dedicated to living together as equals and upholding the tenents and lore of the Steppe Alliance Treaty.The House acts as the guardians of the Sacred Mountain Burkan Khaldun.

Drawn from Zuny Daichin and Ovliin Bu's ancient retinues, their old servants the Iluu orc clan or wandering mystics and nomadic warriors, they are dedicated to freedom, equality and knowledge.All races and cultures that swear to the Steppe Alliance Treaty, Tenents and Lore may join as, like the Clan of the Phoenix we also take in orphans and individuals but not limited to Mongols.Eyes flashed with Purple stripes identify those of the House as they wander the lands, decorating ovoos to bring the mountain with us in spirit. Those that travel with the factions and warhost seek knowledge and power to better protect the mountain and their Steppe siblings.

Gavanjeen

A tribe of hyena Beastkin who revere their holy spirits through song and dance. Appearing silly and crazy to those who don't know them, they are a deeply spiritual people who believe life is to be celebrated and laughter is good for the soul. But, in keeping with the balance, the Gavanjeen have a dark side and can be as ruthless as they can be light hearted.

Clan Luns

Clan Luns are a Mongol Clan that resides on the Silk Road, closest to the Tadzik Mountains. As a Clan we have seen many changes within the Steppe Warhost and have always prided ourselves on being a group for all people young and old. We always welcome the opportunity to give new members of the Steppe a chance to get their foot in the door and sink their teeth into all areas of the game. We are also known for being Yak herders and keepers of traditions within Steppe Mongol society, and are nomadic in lifestyle.

Our clothes are mainly furs and leathers, but people from all around the world have been a part of the Luns and have brought their style with them.

We have a tradition that we never change and always pride ourselves on - that of Steppe prayers (AKA Mongol prayers). This morning ceremony, that all Steppe are welcome to, allows everyone to come together but also is time for Mongols and followers of the Mongolian gods to pray together.

Our origins derive from the story of the White Tiger (Animal Ancestor sprit) which is a story of two clans that combined together when a member from each clan married, after the groom slayed the white tiger in an honour duel. Since that time the Luns have worn white tiger fur for spiritual and cultural reasons.

If you are interested in joining the Luns Clan please contact...
