For the people that have openly wanted to play the blast from the past games involving Marzi and Edel, here is the information on the three big clans from where they came from. You may feel free to make up your own clan so long as you don’t state them as being a major big family like these three. Feel free to send questions through ask if stumped or need something to be made clear.

THE THREE BIG ALCHEMIST FAMILY CLANS IN PRAGUE

Kropiko Clan: One of the oldest clans and arguably the most recognized due to their rose symbol, their necromantic golem family head, and their golem format.  They specialize in Metal alloys, rose horticulture, Jewelry making as their cover, and Golem crafting supplies. They have a rather violent rivalry and history with the Slunce Clan for the last five hundred years. Due to the violent aggressions from the rivaling clan, the Kropiko clan golems all have razor sharp teeth for self defense reasons. The golems in this clan are all sorts of cats along with mythical cat hybrids that are usually around one foot in size. Best way to identify a Kropiko clan golem is their round, pupiless eyes and their teeth, older golems (Ones that have reached ninety eight years in age) having oval shaped lockets with enamel roses on it. The Male golems have the golden lockets while the Female golems get Silver as part of tradition. When created, the golems are assigned a specific colored rose to represent them (Example: Marzipan’s Rose is Blue while Edelweiss’ Rose is Red.) The origin of that tradition is still a mystery.  If Twins are made, they must come from the same mold to save money and time in golem creation as an age-old rule, however, they may have different fur and coloration to tell them apart.

Slunce Clan: The Clan is a century or two younger than the Kropiko Clan, making them the second oldest Alchemist Clan in Prague.  How the bloody rivalry between this two clans is a mystery, but, the rumor is that the Slunce Clan caused it by the assassination of the Kropiko family head at the time. The things that is a clear fact and things known about this clan is they are a surviving Apollo Cult (amongst Alchemists anyways), They are also a Jewelry making family specializing in Gold and rubies for their cover, Alchemiac golden alloys for golem crafting, cultivation of golden yellow roses with their Roman inspired garden motif, Artificial stones manufacturing, and Their own personal Vineyard. The Clan symbol is a stylized sun with Laurels on the sides. The golems in this clan are either golden-blonde colored wolves (They are nicknamed sundogs) or Gryphons, the only one that isn’t a wolf or a gryphon is a Hellhound based golem named Mephistopheles created around soon after Alchemiac golems came to be and is viewed as the head golem of this clan. The ‘sundog’ golems are the ones often seen around in the golem underground or patrolling the rose garden or vineyard, as they are the bigger golems while the gryphon golems are usually assistants in the labs due to their smaller size.

Loew Clan: This clan is well known for the wrong reasons of the Golem of Prague incident. They are more or less the guards of where the Golem of Prague is in laying in its eternal slumber to prevent it being wakened once more. Asides from the golem of Prague, the clan is also known for its unusually high population count of soft golems, one of the first clans to have made a formed set of rules within their clan, Being a clan living completely underground, Potters as their first cover, Musical Instrument making as their other cover, and their specialized Alchemiac clays. Their clan symbol is the dual F hole. This clan has no rivals and is considered rather peaceful compared to the others. Their golems have the duel F holes on the back of their shell bodies or right on their clay bodies if they don’t have a shell.  The Golems from this clan do not have a specific form to be unified with the clan, but, they are however themed to specific musical pieces (Such as one could be inspired from Moonlight Sonata or Requiem for a Dream) As mentioned before, they have an unusually high count of soft golems as it makes up for 98% of the golem population in the Loew Clan, but, the other 2% can be regular Alchemiac Golems.
