"Evfan and Kone, then," the Carapace repeated as he looked at each Paragon when he repeated the names. "It's nice to meet some decent wild Paragon, for a chance," Sanjiv mused with a sheepish smile. "Usually the wilds we find aren't really... the most pleasant." More often than not, they were pretty primitive and often just came about because they were trying to find food. They were usually weak and unable to fight properly, especially compared to the Paragon here who had been specifically trained for battling. Meeting two Paragon who were seemingly independent and pleasant was a nice change.
"Ah, so you're familiar with clans?" Sanjiv questioned curiously, surprised that Evfan would know about such a thing. Most wilds had no real idea of a "clan" structure, so the concept of being on the Dragon Hive's territory often went right over their head. From Evfan's words, it seemed like the two had at least seen other clans before this one. That was a possibility; Sanjiv had heard stories of there being other clans, although they were apparently very, very far from the mountain. Still, if you had Paragon just traveling around, they were bound to come across herds of Paragon who had had the same idea to come together and form a pack, a clan, a family. "I guess that does make everything a little easier for you guys, then." They would still need to get the hang of the place while they stayed here and worked their fair share for the hospitality, but regardless, it would help the two greatly to have a clan mentality already in place.
In terms of this clan's history, Sanjiv paused for a minute. "The Dragon Hive is old," the Carapace replied simply for a start. "I'm honestly one of the youngest. I'm still a hatchling to some of these Paragon," he mentioned as he glanced up at the Paragon overhead that were flying and pulling stunts, some bigger and some smaller. "This clan's had a pretty rocky history so far. I was born a long time after the biggest crisis that happened to the Hive, but I did hear stories of it. It used to be lead by a tyrannic, power-hungry female Voidbringer named Jezebel. She slowly went mad from power and turned the Hive upside-down, killing Paragon and using others to her own goals. That was quite a long time ago, though. Right now, our leader is a male Frost who goes by the name of Izotz. He was one of the Paragon that forced Jezebel into exile. He's the complete opposite of her: understanding, benevolent, and involved. That's why I know he won't have anything against you guys staying here for a little while," the Carapace assured again, finishing the big picture of the clan's history. Of course, the starting point had been nothing exciting: some Paragon in the wild got together, and they managed to stick together in order to survive and make living just a little bit easier.
"What about you?" Sanjiv asked after his story was over. "Where do you guys come from? I don't remember seeing you around here." His guess was that they were either wilds that traveled a lot, or they were part of another clan that was far away. It was probably something along those lines; or at least, the Carapace hoped so. Learning about other faraway clans and their history and mentality would totally be a blast.
