The Elenya Clan
The Elenya clan is a family group built upon trust and peace. Founded by Attikias Elenya, his adoption of various younger beings and welcoming of others into his camp has become a large group over time, supplemented by his own children that accompany him in his day to day activities. While nobody is obligated to stay close, anyone is encouraged to join or keep the Elenya name if they want to have a family to come back home to in the lonely nights.
Beings in the clan are encouraged to follow their own path. Nobody is obligated to do anything for the family, and they will always be welcome in Attikias's eyes. Typically harassing other members of the caves without reason is frowned upon, along with thievery and attacks, as the clan is not set out to antagonize anyone. While it's not a set rule, it's encouraged to try and keep others safe, to build alliances and friendships where you can.
Even if they're far apart, all members of the Elenya family remain family if they wish to, whether they're in the group itself or not.
Locations
Main Camp
The Elenya clan's camp is developed and busy, with its sandy dirt showing evidence of a lot of foot traffic. What started as a natural clearing has grown due to the expansion of new homes- the original shack with space to fit around five humanoids lays in front of a small copse of trees. Directly in front of it is a firepit, circled by small stones and dry logs to seat one’s self at. Urns with various powders and dried spices are found, and two bent metal rods poke out of the ground to hold a grill or spit.
If the first hut is east, then the second is to the south-east, nearby and larger than the first. While the first only has a sloping roof making up its lone back wall, the other is more of a tarp on sticks, creating a roof that protects open urns and pelts from the rain.
Further along this direction is a large workbench. Broken tools and projects lay strewn about it, and many wooden figures dot on and around it, carefully made to stand or perch. Notably in this area is an extremely lifelike figurine of a deer. Though, it seems almost hidden by a few leather straps, and pointedly turned away from the camp. Very rarely, faint deer-like cries can be heard from the object.
Between the table and rain-shed is a well-beaten path to a nearby river that can be heard faintly in the quiet of the night. To the table’s right, however, is a more hidden path, leading towards the nearby Eyes. It doesn’t seem to get much travel. By its entrance is a large, lumpy stone statue, decorated with silvery and blue flowers at its base.
Past this is a large nest, the area recently carved out of the pushed-back treeline. Carja’s personal, portable hoard is located here, as well as her saddle when she’s not donning it.
Running along back towards the main hut is sizable kiln beside a mix of urns and weapons that have been strewn about the area. Almost all of these have been seemingly scavenged from the tunnel before Monoceros- most are broken and unusable at this point. Near this, as well, is a secondary smoke-pit, designed to cure leather over it.

History
It began with
Attikias developing a home for himself within Eridanus.
Astéri was his first child, picked up from Polaris and adopted into his midst, and soon followed
Vivilene,
Hunter,
Angela, and
Volta out of a night of comradery between Attikias,
Fisher,
Azizos, and
Nameless.
Thalia had come about after
Pride had learned of the family, willing to bring in more peaceful beings into the caves, while
Selenite was created with
Alpha as a way to (supposedly) keep the beast happy with them.
Carja and
Lyra have followed soon after, as Attikias welcomed them in Eridanus and having a child with the latter, who came to be known as
Anastasia. Crafting was exchanged for a stone from
Null, who grew to be
Erebos, and a gem from
Titanite and Attikias had grown to be x.
With so many people milling about, the group has officially formed with the beginnings of a feast. All friends of the family are invited.
