Editing Herren Clan (section)

==History==
===Background===
[[Rune|Rune's]] parents succeeded in breaking away from the clan, but she returned to them in a fit of teenage rebellion. Her crimes with the clan and resulting imprisonment resulted in her [[trigger event]]. Eventually her parents were persuaded to return in exchange for financial support.<ref name="R1"/>

At some point a major meeting of the clan was attacked by some parahumans. One made it through to attack [[Othala]], who triggered. Someone, possibly an unpowered [[Victor]], knocked out the assailant.<ref name="R2">Othala's power grants powers. It does so by means of a striker venue (touch) and it's a ''positive'' relationship. She was being supported by a variety of powers when she triggered due to a pointed and immediate, in-her-face physical threat. The clan was attacked, possibly during a moot, a big meeting of multiple branches of the family/organization. Someone came after her, and despite everything, all the power around her, fighting off the other enemies, this guy wasn't stopped. He had a weapon or grabbed her and scared her. Good enough for a second generation trigger. I imagine that after that point, during the usual 'trigger visions' blackout, that someone (an unpowered Victor?) knocked out the assailant. - [https://redd.it/32wcj1 Othala's Trigger event]</ref>

According to [[Tattletale]], Victor was intending to marry a member of the clan in order to secure his place. He genuinely loved her, but something happened to the girl. Othala was the replacement.<ref name="15.3" />
===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
After E88 split into two groups, the clans maintained connections with [[the Chosen]].<ref name="II2.2">“Empire Eighty-Eight?  They sound familiar.”<br><br>“They had a presence for a while.  A few years back they broke up into two other groups.  The Pure and Fenrir’s Chosen.”<br><br>“Ah.  I know the Chosen.  They were linked to the Clans, I think?”<br><br>“Yes.  The Clans spread out across multiple cities, and would funnel anyone who got powers over to the Empire Eighty-Eight core group, back before Leviathan broke the group’s back.  They were a background element in my childhood and cape career.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/12/flare-2-2/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Running away from ever-collapsing [[Brockton Bay]], [[Victor]] and [[Rune]] return to the Clans. They are not welcomed there.<ref>You were ‘fine’ when we went back to the Clans and the new leadership treated us like dirt and blamed us for what happened in Empire Eighty-Eight.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/12/interlude-17-z-sundown/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.z]]</ref>

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
