  Clans (BattleTech) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When the Clans were founded and their breeding program started, surnames were done away with (after the first generation of warriors), and an ordeal called a Trial of Bloodright was established to allow eligible warriors to win the surnames of the original warriors that founded the Clans.
When a clan takes a bondsman who is then reinstated as a warrior, the warrior is still eligible for competing for their bloodname, or may already have a bloodname.

BattleTech: The Return II BattleTech: the Return II As expected, my first essay and story about the future of BattleTech has created a lot of excitement.
BattleTech, as a property, has lasted sixteen years, which puts it ahead of a lot of things, from Masters of the Universe, to Power Rangers and even those Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Gaming is entertainment, and BattleTech is a commercial entertainment property, and both are well beyond the control of those who might set themselves up as a priesthood (and my choice of religious terminology here is not a shot at either the Church of BattleTech or the Ministry of BattleTech).

Obviously, the Mongols called their king/leader "Khan" as in Battletech, and they were divided into Clans just as in BT.
One of the most common symbols of the Mongols was the wolf, which is prevalent in BattleTech (Clan Wolf).

The Jags are drowned in their own blood and cruelty, the Clan Invasion has ended (at least as long as the Wolfs and Jade Falcons are busy) and the Inner Sphere has radically changed.
And anyone who didn't think the Clans were planned WELL in advance hasn't read the OUTSTANDING _Wolves On The Border_.

The Inner Sphere is suffering.
Due to long running contractual disputes, Michael A. Stackpole ceased writing for the Battletech Universe (and the Star Wars Uni, on a side note) after this novel.
Michael Stackpole has managed to maintain such a high level of tension and incredible surprises and changes throughout the entire storyline, I can hardly wait for the story to be contiuned!

Letýs just hope that we do not have to wait too long!

Good book, but BattleTech is not quite what it used to be.

Also, the Jade Phoenix series is excellent for learing what the Clans are all about.
