Perun Clade Liminal Proving Grounds

Description

Where Svarog take a very direct, violent approach to altering the universe to their liking, and Veles seem to favor more insidious methods, the Perun Clade almost gives an impression of studied indifference by comparison with its more active fellow clades. Those few members of the New Eden intelligence and diplomatic communities who have had repeated contact with the Perun have come to feel that this mask of inscrutability is calculated to convey vast and unknowable power, while cloaking a vaulting and ruthless ambition for control.

Whatever the true nature of Perun power and motivations may be, it is clear enough that this clade positions itself as a balancing factor within the Collective that seeks to exert leadership over the Triglavians. A key element of this program is its ability to demonstrate the worth of its positions in the unique form of argument, negotiation, and practical demonstration represented by "proving". The Perun Clade's commitment to the methods of proving has extended to the construction of an arena-like structure designated as a "Liminal Proving Grounds" in Pochven itself.
