This clan of about 800 people is one of the original settlements descended from the original Black Spear clan of Chief Colymar Black Spear, being founded by the second son of Colymar. The clan is closely linked by marriage, cult, and tradition to the other Black Spear clans. They herd cattle and sheep on the Starfire Ridges, and grow grain and grapes in the lowland valley.
Their main settlement is Old Man Village, near their border with the Ernaldori clan. The Orlmarth are often called the “Woodpecker clan.” As with all the original clans, the red-headed woodpecker is sacred to them and their wyter is bound to one of the woodpeckers in the clan lands. The chief Storm Voice leads the clan and speaks with the wyter. This clan is sometimes also called the “Starfires,” because of where they live; and the Keeper of Secrets, presumably of the place where they live.
This clan has a long-standing rivalry with the Greydog clan of the Lismelder tribe, who live on the other side of the Starfire Ridge.
The current chief is Savan Kenstrelsson, a Storm Voice and the younger brother of the previous chief. He is a passionate supporter of the House of Sartar.
