Learnings: The Clan

The name of an aett would often be constructed by putting together the name of a notorious forefather (sometimes even a god) with the suffix 'ing(r)', which evoked a sense of social belonging. Some clans had as many as 100 individual members on whom they could rely in times of peace or way.

Pictured here is a "clan" made up of members of the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Development Team. They are feasting with the reenactors from the Lofotr Museum in Lofoten, Norway.
