Description: The first thing one will notice about the Skavnites is its presence of and love of showing off its military might. The second thing is  The bells that ring thirteen times at noon and midnight. The third thing is its cities are both above and below ground.

There are four great clans which the others follow to some degree or another, The Skavnites always follow the examples set by their heroes.    

Government: The empire runs mostly on its own. Each city, town, and community is well defended and guarded by warlords, so many mistake them for city states.

It is responsible for teaching the magic users of the empire as well as handling national matters.

These clans lord over many other smaller clans which form the armies of the empire.
