@part(brightwind, root = "/mit/abstract/Characters/sheet.format") @subsection(The Brightwind Clans) The Brightwind territories are a barren and desolate land, a dry and parched desert where few plants grow, few beasts live, and no life thrives, not even humans. It was in that land that you grew to manhood, in that desert that your strength was tried and found sufficient. It is that desert that is your home, and your uncles and aunts, sisters and brothers, all are fighters by birth and by breeding. Historically, the Brightwind Clan has been among the least influential in the Clanlands. In normal times, the weak and the soft prefer their comforts -- their filagreed metals and exotic foods, their well-trained and well-bred animals -- to the services that your nomadic fighter tribes can provide. But when comes the time of war, ah, @i(then) you are needed. @i(Then) you are praised. @i(Then) your services are granted worth. You are a Brightwind, first and foremost. And this proposed peace treaty is more than a threat to your Clan, it is an insult to you. You are represented here by your Head, Marshall Oasis; here shall you ensure the prosperity of your nieces and your nephews.
