The Ram Killers are a Rider clan in the Black Eel Valley. Ever since their entire clan circle was slaughtered by Rams on their migration south into the valley, and then adopted the last survivor of Elempur after its destruction by Rams, the Ram Killers have hated all Ram People.
Ride Like the Wind[]
One of the clans inside the valley is guaranteed to be the Ram Killers, though they are always known for something else besides. For example, they can also be the Pure Horse Clan. You can ally with the Ram Killers, but if you then ally with a Ram clan, the Ram Killers will be furious and end the alliance. It isn't known if you can talk them out of doing so.
If you have good relations with your Ram neighbors, the Ram Killers will naturally come to dislike you.
You may hear the following about the Ram Killers:
| “ | We've learned the <Ram Killers> clan engaged in a year long ritual, which ended with them just attacking the <Ram> clan. The <Ram Killers> were victorious, and gained magical benefits.
|
” |
Sometime later, you may hear the following continuation:
| “ | Once again the <Ram Killers> clan engaged in a ritual attack against Rams, hitting the <Ram> clan. Despite their preparation and passion, the <Ram>s drove them off, <deafening them with thunder/drenching them with rain> and <smiting them with lightning/hurling sparkling flints at them>.
