2---Paxia::
1--) Nautica ---Water
Nautica was among The Original Clans -Aerodu, Geoto and Nautica- and the smallest of the three. Nautica have gained a reputation of being peaceful and to be a place for mages and enlightened people.
As the very first clan, Nautica had no form of governmental body –and therefore may seem to be a bit more unorganised compared to other clans- and is ruled by the majority of the people. Nautica is and was a place of art poem and intelligent debate -which can be noted by the Canu’r Delyn-
In the First War Nautica stayed passive and took no side in the conflict between Aerodu and Geoto, but when the Second War started Nautica launched attacks against Geoto –with the help from Aerodu- in an attempt to stop Jaques –or the Fisherman- from gaining power from Geoto itself. Nautica was the “victor” of that war –though in war no one is victorious-.
2--) The Seven Clans
Aerodu—Wind
Aerodu was the first one to found a CC -Council Coalition- and more or less founded the idea of government, and quickly grew larger and developed a culture of its own.
In the First Clan War Aerodu fought against Geoto in a bitter conflict of strength, Aerodu won and a mutual dislike emerged between the two clans. In the Second War, Aerodu was the first clan to be eliminated –by the continued invasion of Geoto-.
But now Aerodu and Geoto is in a state of friendly competition
Dynami—Energy
Dynami is the smallest clan with small 77.000 members. It adopted the Nautican way of letting the majority control the actions of the clan. Dynami is one of the 5 Later Clans –the 5 Clans that came after the Three Months War (The Second Clan War).
Geoto---Earth
Geoto was the largest clan during the early days of Paxia. The main reason of why Geoto lost the First war was because of it’s numerous members that was inactive –making them deadweight-, the other reason is that the GCC –Geoto Council Coalition- had no real status among the members of the clan and was quite unorganised. Geoto was able to beat Aerodu during the Second War because of it strengthened its dicipline and made well coordinated attacks against the Aerodu HQ.
Even though Aerodu and Geoto had their misunderstandings they are now rivals in a chivalric way.
Glacius---Ice
Glacius is one of the 5 Late clans and is ruled by the GHC –Glacius High Council-. Many Nautica members left their clan to join Glacius –considered to be “sister” clan by some members-.
Igneus---Fire
Igneus is by far the largest of the clans with its +390.000 clan members -almost 100.000 more than the second largest clan-. Igneus is ruled by the ICC –Igneus Clan Council- and is more relaxed than most other clans. Igneus is mostly known for its damn good looking clan leader –ingame- the fire fox, quite popular among many newbie members in Paxia.
Lucian---Light
Lucian is the third largest clan but is also one of the most inactive clans both in the Lucian board and in their own forum. Noticeable is that the Lucian leader –ingame- express that all clan heads –ingame- had agreed on Unity.
Nocturu---Darkness
Nocturu is a clan that focuses on their military strength and their own culture more than any other clan. Was once the second largest clan but have since been surpassed by Aerodu and therefore Nocturu is #3 at the moment. The governmental body of Nocturu is the NHC –Nocturu High Council-.
3--) The Unity
Here is the official description:
"Clan Unity- A movement consisting of members from all clans to unite against the coming of Devourer, who wants to destroy all of Lore. It is also a movement to help support a more friendly atmosphere when we are competing. It is not a giant peace/alliance ploy to stop all fighting in Paxia. You do not need to be 'friends' with anyone for it, as long as you try to maintain a positive atmosphere with all clans. Example: Aerodu and Geoto have a friendly rivalry towards each other, ever since the start of the Second Clan war. Friendly competition is encouraged between all clans, as long as there is nothing personal."
4--) The Disgruntiles
The describtion on the first page is:
"This is merely a way to make a liston who does not agree with Unity." This quotation might not be the full explanation of what The Disgruntiles are, since it’s only a small part of the text so if you’re not satisfied then you should look at the actual thread on the Paxia board.
5--) Devourer Saga
The Devourer Saga is a story that that will influence all of Lore and Paxia highly. It is believed by many that the only mean to survive the Devourer –or The’Galin as it is his other name-, since the Devourer is a god and can’t be killed.
Here is a good source of getting information on what it is at large:

FAQ
This part of this thread will be dedicated to the Frequently Asked Questions and also some important ones.
Q: Where is the Clan Council ?
A: Well… It happens that Nautica doesn’t have a council at all. Nautica decides what the majority decides and therefore is kinda a full fleshed democracy. However you should note that there is a discussion thread of whether we should have a Council or not, I recommend you check the thread and tell your opinion.
Q: Does Nautica have an alliance ?
A: Nautica once had a temporary alliance with Aerodu to fight against Jaques that was at Geoto (and therefore was the target). Now Nautica is neutral because of all clans have more or less adopted Clan Neutrality.
Q: Should we unite against the greatest enemy of Lore ?
A: Yes we should… uniting against The’Galin is crucial to our survival; Unity is our best shot at getting alive out of this. But the choice is yours and if you don’t want then you don’t wanto do it.
Q: Should we stay out of battle ?
A: It’s a good thing to fight in the clan events but if a war started between the clans then Nautica should only attack when attacked.
Q: Is there some sort of person I can contact within the clan if I have a problem with someone or if I see someone that breaks the rules ?
A: Yes, there is a Clan Head (which isn’t a leader but just a contact person between you and the staff) you can PM, that person is birdy so if you see any rulebreaker then you can PM her.
Q: What do we do for fun in the forum ?
A: There are not as many as there once was but a few’s still here and there is more interesting threads than listed here! First there is the Mentor & Student thread where you can enlighten others or get a mentor (it get’s fun when working with someone). This is one of the oldest threads in Nautica, Salty have been here almost since day one and we are gonna keep him for as long as we’re here: Salty the Highly Amused Sea Turtle!, he's our mascot and he's hungwy! The lv. Tracking thread II is a place where you can post when you lv. up, and also to see what lv. the others are.
Q: What do I get if I join your clan.
A: you get a community of people who are Great! We have scholars, bards, wise warriors, and peaceful mages, even the occasional ranger and a group of people who stick together and actively support peace.
Q: Are there some threads I should pay attention to ?
A: Well... can't really say that you have to pay attention but some threads are worth looking at: It is highly recomended that you see the Amphitheatre since it's a place to discuss about the current state of Nautica and if there can be done somenthing about it. There's also the The Nautican Welcoming Comittee: Thread II where you can greet new members or be met with flowers if you are new here, the Nautican C-C thread where other people from other clans can post (and a thread we use as a Nautican OOC), last of all there is the
Nautican National Symbols where we make our more or less National Everything. This is the Squid Ink and Sea Pens, which is a good way to learn how to become an Approved Author if you wish to do so. The Nautican Rating Center got locked, see this thread to see how we can reopen it (among other things). There is also a seperate thread where you can apply if you want to be a rater!
Updated! Minor tweeks made.
