The Retreat of the Scorpion Clan

 When the Fall began the Scorpion Clan fell pray to the Blood Rage first.  Mired by deceit and misdirection their were few in the empire who believe that the Blood Rage was a natural phenomenon.  They were outcast from the rest of the world and banished from their Tier City by a combined army of Lion and Crab soldiers.  The Scorpion alone could see the Fall as it began and choose to continue their struggle from the shadows as they have always done.  They resigned control of their Tier City and fled into what would become the beginning of the poisonous swamps.  There they adapted and learned to live in a world that seems to expunge life.  The Fall came and the Scorpion clan endured.  The cost was great even though they have now built up immunity to the toxins of the swamps it has taken its toll on their bodies.   

The Scorpion clan was assumed to be a clan of blackmail and lies.  To the outside it was thought the scorpion will use any tactic to discredit his enemies, draw them into dishonor, and use their shame to destroy them. However, they do it as part of their duty. The last emperor charged the Scorpion Clan with protecting the Empire from the threats the other Clans cannot see or foresee conspiracies, cults, and plots against those who remain on the blasted world of Talinar.  The Scorpion’s do their duty with ruthless efficiency. Their shadow wars against the unseen forces of evil have afforded them the ability to spy on the other clans and even the Blood Raged, and use their knowledge as weapon against potential rivals.  If you carry a shameful secret, there is likely at least one Scorpion who already knows it.  Now the time has come for them to rejoin the world that outcast them so long ago.  The Swarm is on the move and the venture to rejoin humanity in its darkest hour.

-Mind of the Fallen

The Scorpion value information above all for it is their trade.  The cycle of birth has changed for the scorpion clan.  All born who mother and father were each scorpion clan gain ancestral memory.  This allows them to remember and recall in near exact detail the life and memories of past generations.  Though sorting though all the memories can take time its provides the Clan a way for their minds to endure where the body has become frail.
