With Clan and Covenant still a few months in the future, let's re-acquaint ourselves with it's featured clan. First up, Dramok Korkla, the man who would eventually become the indispensable aide to Crown Prince (later Emperor) Clajak.
Facts about Dramok Korkla:
- He's younger than his promised clanmates, Raxstad and Govi, but has a tendency to be paternalistic.
- As the son of a Royal Councilman, Korkla had the opportunity to meet the Imperial Family, which led to his first job as a Royal Home page.
- One of his teachers as a youth was his own Imdiko father, a prominent educator. That gentle influence leaned Korkla to being less of a "do it my way" Dramok, and more of a diplomatic personality with the great ability to compromise with strong-willed people like Raxstad and Clajak.
- His mother is a youth psychologist, and his Nobek father is the head coach of a champion kurble team.
- Raxstad's parent clan approached Korkla's parent clan about arranging an eventual clanship for the boys when Korkla was ten and Raxstad was fourteen. Raxstad's high-ranking parent clan, aware of how many more Nobeks there were than Dramoks and Imdikos, were eager to guarantee their son a match. The match was agreed on after three years worth of meetings, to be finalized when Korkla turned twenty-five. During supervised scheduled meetings over the years, Korkla and Raxstad got to know each other and became friends. After Korkla turned eighteen, they realized like had turned into love.
- Korkla first met Clajak at the age of fifteen (Clajak was nine). Korkla's first inclination was to feel sorry for the young prince, who was already being rigorously trained for his eventual reign. Korkla has always been understanding of the pressures Clajak faces.
- Korkla and Raxstad were separated for two years, during which Raxstad served a stint in Kalquor's ground forces. Clan and Covenant opens with his return and reunion with Korkla, who is now twenty-two.
