THE BANE CLAN----
Located deep in the Black Mountains lies a small village. Secluded from the masses of civilization the teachings of the Bane Clan have been passed down for generation to generation for hundreds of years. When a child be it male or female reaches the age of seven they are sent away to live the the wise shamans and teachers. Here they are taught to write and read many languages. Besides this they are also taught to use a sword and are introduced to the art of earth and wind magic. As they learn and grow they are also taught to be respectful of others and not to use their teachings unless needed to help another or to defend themselves. At the age of 13 the lessons turn to finding and learning to summon a beast to fight along their side and to grow and develop with them. Most who learn this get a beast warrior that is humanoid in the way it stands and is usually heavily armored and wield a deadly weapon. By age 16 they are sent back to live with their families and finish their lessons from the family and others in the village. At age 20 they are considered an adult and have learned all that can be taught of the ways and traditions of their clan. At this point they can now preceed to learn other skills and knowledge
