NOTE: These pages are no longer being updated, as we move all of the material over to the website. Please double-check any information you find here against the CISes on the website, which are the most up-to-date.

Please click on any highlighted names for an individual page about the ancestor, containing links to art of them, or to stories in which they appear. Information about tribal ancestors is still under development; while some individual deceased characters (particularly the past chiefs of the tribe) will have character information sheets (CISs) in the club's webbase, many ancestors won't be detailed beyond their names, family relationships, and salient details.
