A word about Clan philosophy:
Founding a Clan in the legendary beginnings of Ka El age of supremacy meant acquiring resources and attracting practical application of distinguishing knowledge. In short, the focus of a family might never be 100% any sort of knowledge, but the breakthrough ambition and success, including the continuation of that success for thousands of years, became the philosophy associated with the Clan.
A word about Rao philosophy:
Forst Rao was a man in the legendary beginnings of Ka El. He is most known for the tenets of Rao, and a life philosophy which holds that ‘life always finds a way’. There are extensive writings archived that are attributed to Rao. During the War of Will, the tide of the civil conflict turned when the supporters of construct sentience tied their goals to the teachings of Rao.
