History
The are descended from one of the three champions of The Matron of Ravens named Clay. The three champions debated what to do with the body of a hero of a recent conflict, whose body could not be maintained within a city for unknown reasons. The Matron of Ravens told them to seek instruction from The Wildmother, saying she had taken what was hers already, and that she had no domain over what remained. The Wildmother instructed Clay to take the head of the hero to a spring deep in the Savalierwood, and a beautiful grove would grow as a gift to The Archeart. The other two champions toke parts of the body as gifts for the Changebringer and The Allhammer.

The descended from these heroes protect and care for their sacred locations to this day, occasionally making pilgrimages to the other families when the need is dire. All three families assist the families of those who have died with funeral rites, each burying the bodies in their own way, the Clay family does it with graves.

All members of the family have left the Blooming Grove in pursuit of the protection of the grove and have not returned. The last to leave was Caduceus who joined the Mighty Nein because he believes their arrival to be a sign from The Wildmother that he needs to leave to discover the source of the corruption. He left the grove to Nila, who promised that the her clan would look after the temple in absence of a Clay.
