History & Background (Dossier)

An Imperial non-industrial world, Denotam has about 300,000 residents and a naval base. The population is almost entirely clustered around the down-port. Both the downport and most of the useful land is on a single small continent. The remainder of the surface is covered by ice under which can be found highly saline oceans.

Denotam is under the government of the Seven Clans as well as multiple smaller tribes. The Seven Clans arose on the first Vilani colony vessel which came to Denotam. The seven sections of settlers were originally denoted as Ay, Bee, Cee, etc. For amusement, they took names of Old Earth’s Scottish clans and engaged in competitions. The Seven Clanheads of Denotam and their Clans are:

1. The Arnstruther, Head of Clan Arnstruther
2. The Bannatyne, Head of Clan Bannatyne
3. The Clelland, Head of Clan Clelland
4. The Durie, Head of Clan Durie
