	===The Festival of the Dead===		===The Festival of the Dead===

	Every decade since the end of the [[Undead War]], the Grot'karesh Hammer Clan holds the [[Grot'karesh Festival of the Dead]]. This is done to remember those that fell at the Battle of Maelshyve, to honor those who made it through the Time of Trial and came to be with the Grot'karesh, and those who lost their lives to it.		Every decade since the end of the [[Undead War]], the Grot'karesh Hammer Clan holds the [[Giantkin_History#The_Festival_of_the_Dead_at_Kilanirij\|Grot'karesh Festival of the Dead]]. This is done to remember those that fell at the Battle of Maelshyve, to honor those who made it through the Time of Trial and came to be with the Grot'karesh, and those who lost their lives to it.

	The Festival is a 3-day period of remembrance. During this time, all the members of the clan (even those away from the city) wear only a deep-cowled black robe. At the top of every hour, a hymn is sung to those that have passed on and reside on the other planes. At the end of each 24 hour period, there is a ceremony that the elder scholars perform. The ritual is led by the Arbiter (the city's leader) who directs the Preceptors (the magical instructors of the city) through the steps to send knowledge and wishes to their ancestors.

	Scholars aren't sure what to make of the origins of the Hammer Clan, or their founders. The current topic of debate is whether the mannerisms the giants possessed that started the chain of events was created by the battles (hearing banshee screams over and over, particularly), the demons that the Faendryl summoned, the magics the Faendryl used to destroy the keep, or a combination of the three.

	Each giantkin clan has an armband that is used to distinguish Kindred with a glance. The Grot'karesh use '''a crimson glaes armband''' which is completely covered in Saramar runes. In the center of a small parting of the runes is a pair of crossed battle hammers, and below them the words "Grot'karesh Hammer Clan" stand out. Clan armbands can be found for sale in the [[Giantman Village]].		Each giantkin clan has an armband that is used to distinguish Kindred with a glance.

	In 5120, a [[T'Kirem Bear Clan\|T'Kirem]] merchant known as [[Lyudmila]] began [[RWShop:The_Tartan_Cloth\|hawking tartan cloth]] designed for each of the [[giantkin]] clans. The [[The Tartan Cloth\|tartan]] presented to the Grot'karesh was called '''Dark Tartan''' and was constructed from heavyweight [[rolton]] [[wool]]. Set upon a background of brick red, there are no setts within the horizontal and vertical patterns of the cloth. Instead, there are eight narrow pivots of different colors that are evenly spaced on both the vertical and horizontal. They are, in order before repetition, ebon, dark brown, russet, winter white, canary yellow, flaxen, sage, and lilac. The merchant explained the symbolism in the colors chosen as such: brick red represents the blood of all the [[Giantkin Clans]] that was shed in [[Maelshyve]], ebon represents the darkness that followed the Grot'karesh out of Maelshyve, and each of the colors [[T'Kirem Bear Clan\|dark brown]], [[Grishknel Wolf Clan\|russet]], [[Wsalamir Arctic Clan\|winter white]], [[Issimir Ogre Clan\|canary yellow]], [[Araime Sun Clan\|flaxen]], [[Maeramil Wind Runner Clan\|sage]], and [[Vaikalimara Clan\|lilac]] represent the clans that have fed the ranks of the Hammer Clan over the centuries. Lyudmila also brought the traditional highlander garb of the T'Kirem Bear Clan females, [[the arisaid]], to the attention of the other clans. To pin the arisaid, she sold '''a crimson glaes fibula''' marked with a pair of crossed knotwork hammers to honor the Grot'karesh.
