Skaven Clans

Skaven have a clan based society. There are hundreds of Skaven clans, but only four have power in Skaven society. These four clans are Clan Eshin: The Assassins, Clan Moulder: The Beast Masters, Clan Pestilens: The Plague Lords, and Clan Skryre: The Engineers. These four clans hold 99% of the power in Skaven society, and therefore have the largest number of followers.

The clan social hierarchy is functionally the same for each clan, no clan would admit this however. Every clan views itself as superior to all the other clans. Because of this, each clan maintains its own naming scheme for the social ranks within the clan.

Each clan has a champion chosen within its ranks based on criteria unique to that clan.
