A Milevic clan is a kinship group among Milevic people. They are based on a belief in a common ancestor or founder, often rooted in historical or legendary figures who sailed from the north. Clans are usually associated with a particular area, where many local rulers would belong to the same clan and recognise the authority of the clan chief.

The clan system is derived from similar traditions which existed in TBD, the Milevic homeland, at the time of the Milevic conquests. As such, in modern times the clan system is mostly confined to eastern Milevia, although some informal clan structures persist elsewhere and calls have been made for the system's resurgence.

Milevic Empire

The clan system was the basis of a system of sodality upon which the Milevic Empire was founded and organised.

Modern Day

Most Milevic countries still use clan names for individuals in legal documents, following a Family name - Clan name - Given name order.
