Origin
The Southwest Clan is an expansive nomadic group of venomous sirenians. In reality, these ocean dwellers are less of a united organization, but more a people group that share similar cultural values and genetic heritages. Their name comes from a sailor who discovered their ilk in the southwest of the sea of Esshar's coast; before then many of the sirenians did not have a name or solidified identity for themselves. Albeit, after discovering that land-dwellers seemed to take a seemingly united clan more seriously, the concept stuck as generations went on. Now, while there is increased communications among these sirenians, there is still yet to be any sort of leader or great unifier to emerge among them.

Unique Cultural Beliefs
The Southwest Clan, while not under any leader, does have a handful of common beliefs, one, in particular, is the Heal-Hurt Philosophy. This applies to the venomous nature of these sirenians, and how they should go about it. Survival comes before all else among the Clan, you look out after yourself, and your own life comes before another, but there are three paths that can be taken to achieve this.
The Path of Healing: These members of the clan focus on the healing aspects of their toxins, and believe that a healthy ally is better than a wounded enemy. Healing members will often use the venom in them for medicinal purposes, and will often go down the path of alchemy or learn a school of magic that embodies healing properties.
The Path of Hurting: These members of the clan focus on the hurting aspects of their toxins, and believe that a wounded enemy is better than a healed ally. Hurting members will often use the venom in them for combative purposes, and will often synergies their natural venom with poison magic. As the warriors of the Southwest Clan, these members can be more aggressive when compared to their kin.
The Path of Balance: These members of the clan find neither healing nor hurting another to be the true path, instead they see the merits in both. Balance focused members are the most pragmatic of the three. They may invest both in poison magic and healing magic, or they may seek completely different means. Balance members tend to be drifters; perhaps they will settle or perhaps they will move on, whichever seems best to a follower of this path is where they will go.
