Clan Engodor

The second largest of the Heil Clans, Clan Engodor is the polar opposite of Clan Mitragan. The two split apart almost five billion years ago during a civil war, retreating to opposite sides of the planet. Originally, Clan Engodor outnumbered Clan Mitragan, making it the dominant clan - for a time. Mitragan eventually surpassed Engodor, but by that time, neither side was willing to trigger a planetary war which could result in the decimation of their species. Furthermore, both sides were still relatively weak after the Gatekeeper war. Clan Engodor, unlike many Heil Clans, believes in peace and diplomacy, and acts as a refuge for others with similar beliefs.

Overview
Clan Engodor is a clan made up of diplomats, tradesmen, healers and explorers. They do have a military, but it is based solely around being able to call in aid from other clans they have assisted in the past. They have diplomatic ties to almost all other clans (except Illyich and Delques), making them a formidable opponent if attacked. Usually, Clan Engodor is defended by these allies, and do not need to engage in open hostility themselves. Unlike other Clans, Engodor specializes in training its members in the use of only the White Art, often to the point where it can be used offensively if the need arises (such as by forming spines or armor around the user, etc.)

Politics
Clan Engodor is the most diplomatic and peaceful of the clans, even above other pacifists like Clan Gelmond. They will try diplomacy again and again, varying their speakers and tactics, until all options have been exhausted. Usually, another clan intervenes to save them, as having Engodor around makes life easier for all of the other clans (with the obvious exception of Clan Delques and Clan Illyich, who have hated Engodor ever since the two clans were formed).

Territory
Engodor Territory covers a large swath of the eastern portion of Sovereingn. They also own several planets, most of which were given to them in peace treaties and trades, and therefore retain the names given to them by their original conquerors or founders. Although the Engodor Province is still considered the capital of the empire, and is located on Sovereign, the true heart of Engodor's diplomatic power is the rocky world of Dominion, which was given to them by Clan Mitragan.
