The Marsh-Hunt

If there was ever one clan that the entire race of Lukars didn’t trust, it would be the Marsh-Hunt. Dark, looming and often secretive, these wolves have earned that distrust through cunning trickery and frequent back-stabbing. These sly swamp wolves don’t seem to mind their place second to last of the pecking order, and often like to make jabs at the clans above them - calling them daft, weak or naive. No matter their place in the grand scheme of things, the Marsh-Hunts are content with where they stand, though that may be because they aren’t often interacting with other Lukars.

While the other clans struggle to get their footing in the mainland, the Marsh-Hunt are well established there. Unlike the Ice-Bloods who are attempting to sort out how the mainlanders live, these sly wolves have already embraced it and live comfortably among the Staeri. Even among the mainlanders they have gotten a reputation of being a bit deceitful, but the Marsh-Hunt thrive under pressure and wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Marsh-Hunts who remain in their homelands are very territorial, but mostly to the clan that ranks just below them. Perhaps not aiding with their reputation, these cunning dark furred wolves are clever in how they defend their land - often using traps and snares to do so.

Appearance
Standing slightly below average, the Marsh-Hunts top off at about 6’1” for both genders and are usually no shorter than 5’6”. They are the only clan where both genders can be the same height rather consistently. Their builds are very slender and sleek, intended to be able to move quickly and quietly as they traverse both the swamps and otherwise.

Like most wolves who live near water, these Lukars have water repellent fur and webbed paws. Their pelts are always dark, normally appearing as black or black with a very, very dull green hint. They can have an underbelly that is slightly lighter in color. They are not known to paint their fur but could if the occasion was right.

Their eyes are what often stands out the most about the Marsh-Hunts. Normally coming in the warm colors of a sunset, their eyes are often deep orange, deep pink-ish orange and rich shades of yellow. They will never have eyes that are red colored but can be red-orange.
