-The various families that make up the Carsokian Clans are spread far and wide.  The majority of their influence is in the Andelphracian River Valley, but they have representatives as far as the [[Evesque Valley]] and the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]].  Indeed, there are those who have speculated that they are purposely marrying off their daughters to particularly wealthy buffoons who are easily manipulated simply to expand their reach into heretofore unreachable spheres of influence.

 They also have notable enclaves in the Vale of Serdoch and [[Alezan]], with a particularly large population in [[Baleman|the Baleman neighborhood]]. Though their numbers remain small, they still seem to have inordinate control of certain commodities and political powers.  They claim that they have no particular clan head or chieftain, but it is well known that Sylvia Beth Panderlock is most often looked to as the steering senior member of the clan.

 * '''Gabson Foye''' - Another fine, upstanding member of the Carsokian Clan, though a bit, well, slow.  His mother, Adelaide Clementine Chimmlefut, who is the second cousin, twice-removed, of Sylvia Beth Panderlock, was initially quite pleased that he was to marry Siam Sinch, but quite put out later when it was discovered that she'd had an affair with [[Bethany Mboya]], who later turned out to be Spearholder Jan ver Daath (Retired) of the [[Tarkherk Corps]].  Luckily, the clan's fortunes do not rest on their male line alone!
-* '''[[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]]''' - The inventor of the [[ghoulwood viola]] and the [[supranatural luminescence meter]].  She spent an unfortunate portion of her life trying to explain the difference between supernatural and supranatural luminescence and not enough time puttering in her lab, according to her journals.

 * '''[[Captain Riquiras|Captain Tuta Riquiras]]''' - The Carsokian Clan claims the dread pirate as a member via his mother, Allison Clarinda Husslespear, who is the great, great, grandaunt of Aleksandra Mary Blackgold.  But, this has been disputed since the Captain was off at sea most of his life and was not much of a record-keeper.  Indeed, it has been often speculated that he didn't know his own mother at all.

	The '''Carsokian''' Clan has haunted the halls of history in Ghyll since at least -400 {{EC}} and have been quietly making things happen the entire time, rather like very determined dung lice. Always attempting to stay off center stage, they have turned up now and again in the most interesting historical records. Almost a kind of aristocracy, without all the pretty bows and ribbons, they are the most immensely diverse conglomeration of families in Ghyll.

 ==Clan History==
-Of course, the history of the Carsokian Clan is almost the history of Ghyll itself.  The Clan traces its lineage back to Sylvia Brunnhilda Carsokian who was the Grand Matriarch during the [[Battle of Barnum Stones]].  Indeed, there has been rumor that they were the original Exingians behind the entire conflict.  The Clan was known, even back in -400 {{EC}}, as quite violent traditionalists.  Of course, when they were soundly trounced by the [[Looliers]], Sylvia took her three sisters, whose names are lost to history, and her ten daughters and nieces, and fled their Cranee homeland.  It was a cold, cold Ablinth in -322 {{EC}} when they settled in the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]] and began gathering up husbands from the local stock.  All of this was directed by Sylvia herself, earning her the well deserved title of the Grand Old Bitch.  She was a hard woman for hard times and it is in her memory that the Clan began to trace its lineage through their daughters.

-The Clan then disappeared from view for quite some time, until roughly -183 {{EC}} when several of the Clan moved back from the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]] to Cranee, and shortly joined with several of the local families in forming the [[Cranee Historical Society]].  Since then, even the remotest Clan members have been considered members of the Society, even if they didn't know it.  It was several years later, in -175 {{EC}}, that the Society "discovered" the Clan was related to [[Captain Riquiras|Captain Tuta Riquiras]], before he'd turned pirate.  The very next year, when the Captain took his first merchanter, the Society "discovered" a mistake about that particular line of the Clan lineage and disowned him.  The Husslespear family has never quite regained their reputation.  However, all was not lost, for in -157 [[Encyclopedant Calendar|EC]], just a year after the removal of the [[Battle of Barnum Stones|Barnum Stones]] to Stindersgrough by Corvin Axehand, he was suddenly "related"!  Indeed, that year there were an extraordinary number of Moonbeam Meetings in celebrations of "Cousin" Axehand, the Cranee Patriot.

 It was into this high-point of the Clan's history that Mary Elizabeth Carsokian was born and groomed to be the clan head.  She rose to that position on a fine, warm Ulfsday in Gomin of -100 [[Encyclopedant Calendar|EC]], on her 57th birthday.  With her that day, according to the [[Cranee Historical Society]] records, was her young, freshly married daughter Aleksandra Mary Blackgold, and her young niece Sylvia Beth Panderlock, who would lead the clan into the modern age.  It is also in this year that the highly educated [[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]] made her great discoveries regarding [[ghoulwood viola|ghoulwood]] and the [[supranatural luminescence meter|supranatural luminescence]].
