Five Clans of Vataanjunaar

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. 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,
