  :Chiekage Family  
  <B>                            '.|.`                       <B>                         -=Chiekage=-(pronounced 'Chi-ay-ka-gey')----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------      At the beginning era of King Mhul's 50th reign, a family known as 'Wisdom Shade' or 'Sagacious Shadow' was collectively formed. Initially the idea was discussed between a young ambitious man named Dei and the son of a strong barbarian nam-ed Livey. Several others soon joined in and a unified bond was formed. The Chiekage has ties to many other types of families, including the Nomads and the K'urimja bloodline, as well as Koguryian and Buyan royal bloodlines. The family's "multicult-ural crossings" have taken the old world's definition of 'who is socially acceptable for you to talk to' and thrown itfrom its original margin.     The family has accomplished much throughout its shortunion and proves to be a very devoted and thoroughly producti-ve group -- woodcutters, gemcutters, smiths, tailors, chefs,and merchants all line the band of Chiekage. All sorts of different walks of life revolve around and stroll through it's wake -- The diligent walkers of the eightfold, the druidsof Awen, and the occasionally passive-aggressive yet evertrue Barbarians. However, rangers are usually not one to find or associate themselves among the Chiekage, as they are usually less than savvy in the ways of 'the figurative tongue.' Aside from that, they are usually too caught up in their own wilderness games to bother with the Chiekage. Many of the Chongun have shared and discussed ideas with the Chiek-age countless times, as well as many recipes have beenexchanged between the Chongun and the Chiekage. The Do willnot usually find themselves among the Chiekage as they arealso very secluded from the rest of the kingdom, but therehave been occasional positive encounters with these type forsome of the family. The Muse have helped to establish many great ideas, as well as song and poem amongst members of the family. Diviners of the Light, Grey, and Dark orders areall very welcome sights to the Chiekage, these folk areusually very knowledgeable in the problems of the age.   There have been a few incidents where one will discredit the family for our fairly open ties but with time it generally becomes nothing but a long forgotten passing scuffle. The geomancers of the elements are generally welcome, but usually they choose to exclude themselves from the family. Many of the family are visited by past visions, many more by terrible physical mishaps and spirits. The Shaman can relate to us and us to them because of what many of the Chiekage have seen.    The family has always upheld the value of truth, wisdom,and creativity as the 3 main values. Truth, in a closer look, by knowing when to speak it and knowing when to seize the opp-ortunity for it. The value of wisdom is important not onlyfor the value of truth but is quite possibly the mostimportant, because it heavilly weighs on how we perceive andare perceived by the world around us. Our desire to grow and to be constantly learning should be innate in the heart of a true Chiekage. Finally, creativity -- to be successful herein this realm, this trait is very important for a member ofthis family as it will show what one is able to give and dis-play back to the community, whatever it may be, great ideascome from great minds may the heritage ever be true.      The experiences within the family are that of a socialand strong bond. Very few conflicts ever stir within the fam-ily all have a very good sense of knowing how to joke around and in the rare cases where the joking has gone too far, the Chiekage know how to bring eachother back full circle and pick eachother up. To conclude and revamp, our heritage was a chanced and diverse meeting through exchanges and compilations of work, which later became a strong bond.
