Clan Dud

Clan Dud is a long lasting family that currently holds one government position with it's head of family ConDud being the mayor of Duragrad. The family is mostly unrecognized and fell from grace or a political scandal in Noxnorr.

The Crossing of the Three
Clan Dud's first known member is HakoDud, who is mentioned in a now lost book titled "The Crossing of the Three" where it recalls the tale of 3 adventures trying to survive in Rathnir after the Jagdas Time Warp. It is detailed in this that HakoDud and one of the other adventures has the child JahgDud. HakoDud and his family are betrayed by the 3rd adventurer but are able to defeat the traitor.

HakoDud's Death and JahgDud's Life
HakoDud would die at the age of 24, from what can be assumed is cancer. JahgDud would depart on a boat, bringing his mother with him. They would land in an unknown part of Syltör, but after a small journey would meet with the people of an unknown tribe. JahgDud would settle with this tribe and have three children. Two Sons and a Daughter. The name of one of his sons is the only one known: LihgDud. JahgDud's mother would be murdered by Bandits and JahgDud would seek them out, he never returned and it is thought he was killed by the bandits.

The Daughter's Journey
LihgDud and the other son would remain with the tribe, at least until as long as the daughter left. The Daughter says her name is Lillith Dudiumore but it is thought that this is unlikely the name she was actually given at birth. Lillith would leave the tribe in as she calls it in her chronicle "A Man not stupid enough to leave his family to die, or to slay another" there are depictions of Lillith drawn by herself depicting her with large deer antlers and an overly small nose with overly small eyes.

She meets the people of Noxnorr and settles at the city of Sovdal. She eventually marries into a richer family, although she does not recount which one, and apparently she went under a "Not entirely accurate name, and maybe told a lie or two while I was there" it is thought that the daughter was divorced after 5 children due to her cheating with several other men. She stops her recount after this. Going by her writings, Lillith was a very deceitful woman that would take advantage of men, and then blackmail them. Or as she calls it "Threaten to rightfully reveal the truth" whatever the case was, it is logged that a woman by the name of "LillithDud" was executed for blackmail, and fraud.

The Golden Generation
Lillith's only legitimate children (She reportedly had 34 with countless other men) were in order of oldest to youngest: A Son Named JaxDud, A Son Named UlDud, A Daughter named LillyDud, A Son Named GaDud, And a Daughter Named LillianDud. JaxDud would grow up and write books on many stories, systems, and legends of Noxism. JaxDud would give birth to a child by the name of GigaDud, he would also suffer from cancer and die when GigaDud was only 4. UlDud would be thrown out once he was 18, and would leave town. It is unknown where UlDud went. LillyDud would marry a man by the name of Harv, and have 3 children all of which's names are not known, none of these children did anything of note. GaDud would move back to Syltör and have at least 1 child, he most likely had more but there is only documentation of one. GaDud also met with the two sons of JahgDud, who had had many children. Meaning there is possibly many unknown Clan Duds in Syltör. LillianDud however is a mystery, as she wrote cryptic messages while in a terrible sickness. She then ran from home at age 16 and was never seen again.

A Note
From now on this history will not go over every generation, as these generations are not all interesting. Instead, we will go over stretches of time.

GigaDud's Leadership
GigaDud would be the formal founder of Clan Dud, being the first to actually declare the family. Under his leadership he would create a Council of Duds which would come together each decade, GigaDud himself would for a time serve as a mercenary but would stop after he was also found with a tumor in his head at age 78. GigaDud would die a year later with no funeral held as the family didn't have the money to host one. They turned to the town of Sovdal, but they would refuse due to Lillith's questionable activity. His grandson PeterDud would take over.

PeterDud's Leadership
PeterDud would be the height of the family's history. He was able to coach family member's lives in political directions, launching successful political careers. One branch of the family (The Yugs) were a specifically successful branch. PeterDud himself would go out on treasure hunts often, but eventually after experiencing serious burns in one trip. He became permanently disabled, and had to use a wheelchair. PeterDud after he stopped his treasure hunts would help map smaller lesser known parts of Rathnir, but eventually would contract a similar Tumor that many in Clan Dud experience around age 68-70. PeterDud however would die of a heart attack instead.

YugDud's Leadership
YugDud would take leadership due to his political success, sadly he was already old and would die soon after he took leadership.

RorianDud's Leadership
RorianDud was the son of YugDud and had a similarly successful political career. RorianDud however would be caught in a political scandal and would flee. Those in Clan Dud would renounce their partnership soon after, leaving RorianDud's family to be the last in the clan.
