Clan Winnekin

Clan Winnekin, also called Clan Trydgis and the Trydgisian Clan, was a Hanarrian clan made up predominantly of members and kin of the Winnekin family of the Mid-Isles. The clan was officially recognized under Trydgis Winnekin with the sponsoring of King Auberda Andrunicus in late 4201, although it can be traced further back through earlier generations of the Winnekin family's leadership. Trydgis' service as chieftain of the clan was short lived due to his migration to Radorah and involvement in the Askeldian Wars. After the end of the Askeldian Empire, Trydgis, now a powerful king, gave much support to his old clan and visited often. Although he never tried to regain his status as the chieftain of the clan, he was always welcomed and treated with honors of such position.

The clan gained status as a royal family clan when Trydgis was crowned King of the Free People of Radorah by Master Ainebrus Alustacrus in the year 4212, and was furthered recognized throughout Radorah with the establishment of its own kingdom -Trydgisia, two years later. For the entire duration of the existence of the Kingdom of Trydgisia, every monarch has had direct relation to the lineage of the Winnekin family, and therefore the clan as well.

Like most clans of the Hanarikar Lands, Clan Winnekin was heavily military-based, and although various non-combatant roles were included, every member of the clan held a rank and could be promoted or demoted based on merit and actions.
