The Bone Clan
Stalwart's faction, decapitated by its own conscripted war mages and stripped of its assets in a single system message.
Story so far
The chapter opens with the announcement that War Chief Stalwart of the Bone Clan has fallen, killed by three members of the War Mage Rebellion — mages the clan itself had conscripted from the Skull Empire's levy. Because the Rebellion is not an active team, the clan's assets are awarded to Team Retribution, which holds the throne room.
The clan's seat at King's Point has just exploded along with the surrounding castle, though the throne room itself survives as a capturable asset. Epitome Tagg appears to be abandoning the effort to retake it, fleeing with a small escort rather than fighting.
Role
The leaderless clan whose collapse redistributes territory and assets mid-battle.
