All can be yet not all are Claw. Character is a quality that one cannot fabricate and the deciding factor that makes one Claw. Ironically, it is the same factor that prevents one from being Claw.
Induction
Induction to The Claw is limited to ensure that the group has the opportunity to grow at a pace at which all members are comfortable with. Our restrictions are simple and are loosely based on the code of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table code of honor. The basic premise and foundation of our membership is summed up in one word -- respect.

The Threotine Council is the gate to The Claw. They are the keepers of the protectors of the code and teachers of the ways. They are mentors to the paths of honor, chivalry and pride chosen by the High Council for their outstanding displays of conduct and code.

The Claw bases their actions on a common code of honor derived and adapted from the days of the round table.

The Claw's Grasp
All entities of The Claw make us a family. Brothers and sisters who where brought together by the common love for faire. You will find us together in camps at faires. (More than likely in the pub) singing, dancing and sometimes crying . But we will be as one and welcome you to join our merriment.
The Claw members are inducted regularly without prejudice to race, religion or culture. If you would like to become a member of the claw contact a Threontine member. There are only a few stipulations and absolutely no mundanes, mandanes or Renaissance Trekkies (including Star Wars).
