Champions of Piltover Clans

Lore

Mercantile Clans

The mercantile clans of Piltover each have their own unique sigil to identify their homes, workshops, shipments, warehouses, inventions, brands and places of business. Each sigil bears many meanings and interpretations; some obvious, some less so.

Among the leading families of Piltover, it is customary for one of the younger children to take up the mantle of the family's principal intelligencer, the sword and shield of their clan. Those chosen are tasked with operating in the best interest of a Piltover family, working with the clan master to secure the family's continued success by any means necessary. Clan Ferros, with its wealth of secrets, has always taken this position seriously, putting forward considerable resources to ensure its intelligencer was always the best.

The difference between a clan and a house is that clans are larger, do not necessarily have all of their members related by blood by direct family connections, and have larger political influence and income for their ventures. For instance in the Arcane universe, House Talis still requires funding for their hextech ventures, despite Jayce Talis being a councilor.

Clan	Members & Description	Sigil
Arvino	Adalbert, Sofia: Lady Sofia lived a cushy, trusting life in Bluewind Court until her father died and became the head of the clan. She then fell in love with Baron Volkage, a Zaunite chem-baron trying to gain power in Piltover. After some time they planned an engagement in a cultivar in Zaun, but Camille stopped the engagement, killing Baron Volkage. After that, Camille made a deal with the intelligencer of Clan Arvino, Adalbert to keep Sofia out of trouble.
Cadwalder	Uberti: the head artisan of the clan Cadwalder, Uberti designed the self-locomotor. Rumor has it that one of Clan Medarda's agents stole one of the schematics of this project, and this led to the creation of a self-locomotor in Clan Medarda's mansion. Clan Torek also tried to convince Uberti to join it, and it is unknown which clan she is in at this point.
Ferros	Elicia, Rhodri, Gemma, Camille, Stevan, 7 Albus, 2 Reggie, Jayce: "For family, will I give." Clan Ferros gained most of its wealth through a rare crystal harvested from the Brackern of Shurima. Utilizing certain shadow investments in chemtech and runic alchemy, the Ferros family brought to market the less powerful, but easier to procure, synthetic hex-crystals. Such power often comes with consequences, and the production of synthetic crystals is rumored to be a heavy contributor to the Zaun Gray. Clan color is blue.
Giopara	~~Jayce~~: Jayce earned the honor of being the youngest apprenta to ever be offered patronage by Clan Giopara, one of Piltover's most respected ruling clans. He spent most of his early years constructing potential hextech devices and designing transformable multi-tools for Piltover's working class. Ferros would later outbit Giopara and take Jayce as their apprenta.
