Highlanders

Highlanders are the noble knights of the clan system, they are headstrong and savage on the battlefield and calm and collected on the courtroom floor. The title of highlander is considered the highest of ranks in a clan. Holding almost as much power as a Chieftan.

Culture
Highlanders are predominantly of clan culture in Clamund. Their name comes from the many highlands that are scattered throughout the Maol-Moirel region of Clamund, the highlands hold a sort of honour to any honest clanling as the highlands are a place of ritual and peace as there are many accounts of the highlands holding peace talks and ritual combat in their territory. It was only necessary to grant the title of highlander to the most devoted and strong men of a clan.

History
It is unknown when to exactly place the start of the title of highlander. Many claim that clanlings have used this title for many centuries as honour demands of it, the title can be used universally throughout the clans as they deem fit. Some clans might use the title highlander for a courtly member that only serves within their rapidly modifying feudal shift in politics while others might use the title for brutal warlords that are masters of everything death. The highlander throughout history remains to be a heroic and honourable title that many bards can sing songs of. In reality, it can be said that the highlander starts to be seen more as a barbaric warlord that commands a gang of his own soldiers that prowl the countryside to harass and sometimes battle with rival clans.
