[spclans.XML] The town of [[Poros]] sits near the northern shores of the Perassic Sea. The warm rolling hills of these parts are well suited to the raising of sheep and horses. The herdsmen have a reputation for being proud and violent, but the nobles of the [[Leonipardes]] clan who rule this land are careful to respect their autonomy. Livestock rustling and blood feuds are common here, and it is said that the [[Leonipardes]] will never interfere unless invited by both parties, but when they do, their judgments will be obeyed by all. | ![[pharon.png]] | [[Pharon]] !-- Self-consciously old-fashioned nobleman, but sided with the least conservative of any faction on his son's advice.
