The Five Clans of Vataanjunaar were a collection of clans after the death of Ysgramor and the division of the kingdom of which the clans are named. The clans were led by the five sons of Ysgramor; Yngol, Ylgar, Brangall, Solsgeild, and Jagnaskr, all of them led in a never-ending war to pick up the scraps after the former kingdom fell to pieces. After the division of Vataanjunaar, Alenveil went into an age known as Bokso, "The Age of Sorrow," where the former kingdom and royal family was fighting with each other, warring for supremacy and political power over the freedom that had been torn apart after the death of its leader.

Origins and The Clans

This split of the kingdom was caused by Ysgramor's own poor judgment. He believed that he would live for an incredibly long time, although he didn't expect to die as early as he did. This poor judgment and blind pride caused him to neglect plans for the future of Vataanjunaar after Ysgramor died. He had always said that he would give the kingdom to his son, but Ysgramor never specified which son. Yngol wished to be the new ruler for being the oldest. Ylgar wanted to be king for being the smartest. Brangall, for the most skilled in battle, Solsgeild for being the most diplomatic, and Jagnaskr for being the kindest.

Because of Ysgramor's sons being unsure, their confused political status caused familial infighting that grew to such proportions of all-out war, resulting in the massacre and madness that was the Bokso, which ended up lasting for 3 years. Until Brangall and his clan's unification of the former Vataanjunaar. The clans themselves were comprised of the former 500 men and women known as the Zeymahzin, led by the former sons of Ysgramor.

Yuvonbah

The clan of Yuvonbah was led by Ysgramor's eldest son, Yngol. Yngol's clan was the least popular of the former Vataanjunaar, but also the wealthiest. The Yuvonbah all believed that age was the most important, which seemed petty in the rest of the former kingdom's residency. They developed filial piety where the older were valued as wiser and of higher-class. Hints to where their location was, as mythology tells of the clan gaining the name Yuvonbah, translated to "Golden Wrath" from other clans as they were the richest of the clans, having gold donning most of their wealthier citizens. This hints to the clan being close to the gold deposits in the west. Yuvonbah was the first to fall to Brangall's forces, a prime target to many of the other clans because of their riches and low numbers. Their name was well-earned, as their pride and value for money was their downfall.

Keinnauzun

The clan of Keinnauzun was, by far, the most formidable of the Clans of Vataanjunaar. Keinnauzun had a large emphasis on battle, valor, and glory. Keinnauzun's leader, Brangall, was a very skilled tactician who, unlike his older brother Ylgar, loved to try out his tactical moves in scrimmages by only telling one side the plan, and then letting them fight with this new knowledge. This trial and error mindset helped to perfect his tactics and become an incredible military leader.

Keinnauzun's translated name, "War on Weapon," is a very fitting name for the most militant of the clans. However, unlike past leaders who would be described as militant, Brangall did not allow for this love of war to go to his head. Much like any other Vataan man, he too loved freedom and he shared it with those who followed the Keinnauzun way. The spirit of freedom, battle, and glory was what helped to lead the Keinnauzun to victory over Vataanjunaar. If not for this burning spirit and the competence of their leader, Keinnauzun would have just as easily been stamped out by a foreign power.
