Silvanas is a clan comes from a Valmasian ancestry known for being extremist fel hunters, willing to do almost anything within the boundries of morality to establish balance in the world. While some were hunters, others were researchers, dedicated to developing specific techniques and technological advancements throughout the ages. Result of their actions weight wise constantly changes yet always stayed the same at the same time.  

Some known them as generational hemomancers while some known them as mere hunters. 




Each member of the clan start off as a denizen or simply trainee. From young age each member would be thought to be brave and unwavering against those of Fel. Demons, witches, necromancers, undead or anything similar to degree. Yet also been thought to be capable of granting mercy and provide them a path of redemption. If that person truly can be saved that is. In addition to mental training, which begins at age five, each trainee is taken to the Shadowlands with an assigned hunter guide who provides teachings and meets their social needs. In the past, trainees were often left to learn on their own, but this method was eventually deemed unorthodox. Rued Silvanas reformed the training process to ensure better education for future generations

After reaching the age of nine or ten, trainees are brought back to the mainlands to complete the final steps of their training. Their approval as a first-rank Silvanas Hunter is overseen by the head figure of the clan; without this endorsement, the process is considered null. Upon completing their training, each trainee swears an oath to uphold while serving their clan and people.

Till even the weak find peace."

Upon doing so. Newly assigned hunter receive their Clan crest and officaly starts their duty for the clan as whole. Such oaths for the most part used within the older times of Valmasia yet brought back upon learning more through the historical records that is been provided by the founder brothers of the clan.




Silvanas culture can be defined through many things. Sometimes through the inventions they created or sometimes through the circumstance they comes to face. Yet among those changes there was always some things remained the same within it's culture. Each trainee during the day of their offical promotion, would receive a celebration involving the entire clan. This usualy start through the sharing off blood. 

During the celebration. Each member make a small cut upon their palms and so is the promoted trainee. Doing so, each would shake their hands together and share their blood one to another. Indicating the connection between one to another as family. Such way, was always the case with the clan itself. Clan is not just a mere group or anything. 

It is one big family. 

They hunt together. Kill Together. Eat Together and most importantly progress together. 



[BLOOD PACTS] 
During the very early years of the clan. Amai Silvanas invented a method goes by the name of "Blood Pacts", spiritualy infused ritualistic techniques that is capable of forging bonds between one person to another.  

Quote:[Ritual of Love] 
A pact of love and responsibility. Within the clan one of the most important thing kept close by each member was the fact that concept of love treated as a sacred way of expressing. A responsibility of two person give to each other. One that shouldn't be broken in any way.   Upon doing the this version of the pact. Two person would create a spiritual and magical bond between the two. Sealing their relationship forever. However, in any case. If one side attempt on breaking the pact or simply betray their loved one. 

One of the most common things triggered by the effects of this pact would be "Death." or "Heavy crippling."

[Ritual of Connection] 
A pact that involve a singular promise between two people. Length of this promise can change quite often depending on the individual.  Yet similar to any other types of the blood pacts. Upon breaking the promise one side would receive a punishment through the pact itself. 

This can range from a minor injuries to crippling ones.

[Ritual of Cleansing] 
Some would also refer this one as "Ritual of Self", a pact that is capable of cleansing almost anything. By the right price of the blood. Either of the one that initate it or simply those of others. Usualy used under very dire circumstances in order to change the course entirely.

These are some of the pacts on the list commonly used by those of the clan. While rest kept as a secret. Though notably regular blood pacts done without the knowledge of the Silvanas. Also do not carry the mentioned effects yet also still carry the cultural importance.


[ANTI-FELTOLOGY] 

For thousands of years, the Silvanas clan has created numerous artifacts to combat the forces of Fel. Their creations ranged from specially designed poisons capable of deconstructing a demon's cellular structure to weapons that could nullify occultic mana with a single strike. This inventive drive was integral to their culture.

Each clan member focused on creating something capable of fighting back against Fel in some way or another. While some were more efficient than others, this tradition allowed members to prove themselves, especially if combat was not their primary interest. This innovation cycle was simply part of the clan's duty. Allowed each invidiual to be free and wise in their own rights.


[COMPANIONSHIP]

Most members of the clan known to choose themselves a guardian animal sort of.  Such desire for companion started when Leo Silvanas first adopted the great lion Osamodas as his guardian for the Silvanas Fort within Valmasia. Later on this expanded and every hunter seems to be having some sort of connection to animals as their partners and guardians.

Even now during this age and time. It can be seen by the current living generation. This culture stayed quite intact.  It was way of relaxing even for those stay under constant stress.




Most members of the clan usualy do not follow a very spesific religion for themselves and rather seek to earn favor of the gods and spirits through their sheer will and actions. Some notably worshipped gods such as Mestra, Nemea, Caius, Alacritas and even Ualdir. Compare to grand scale of the members of the clan. It was fairly low. 

Though such worships were not frowned upon or anything. Instead depending on the thing even encouraged for the sake of the hunter. After all, stagnacy is a killer. Even a mere worship capable of breaking such cycle.
