The clan ring acts as an advisory body to the chief serving to keep
him in touch with the people's mood and desires. Actually there are two rings, an outer
and an inner one. The outer ring is made up of pretty much all the notables in the
clan, especially any specialists that may exist in the clan. The inner ring is made
up of individuals who hold special positions within the clan and have traditional mythical
roles to fill. These positions are usually appointed by the chief. The Amberi
follow one of the traditional ring forms which has seven seats. These are normally
Orlanth the Chief, three gods and three goddesses. Typically these may include any
of the following :
| Gods |
