Carried by the winds, the agile explorers of Hraesvelg do not need to occupy a large territory, for they will readily venture outside to gather resources.
Their profound knowledge of the terrain and their ability to exploit it to its fullest allow them to survive in the most desolate areas.
They are led by Grif, the only survivor of an extinct clan.
Orphaned upon the fall of their parent’s clan, Grif was adopted at a young age by the followers of Hraesvelg.
This demonstration of adaptability made them a perfect leader for the Eagle clan.

Note
The clan is available in all game modes, and will be available in Ranked multiplayer in two weeks. A special channel is open on the Northgard server for you to provide feedback on the clan balancing so we can get the balance as close to perfect as possible for when the clan becomes available in ranked. 
The clan can use Swidden Field on its zones to temporarily increase production at the cost of a reduced production afterward.
The clan can copy knowledge of any clan they encounter.
Skirmishers
Skirmishers can be used to attack enemy territories but they do not decolonize zones on their own.
Signy
Age 16: Raised by Wolves
Signy gains Cloaked ability.
When units are Cloaked among wild creatures, they neutralize their aggressivity toward the clan, and increase their aggressivity toward enemy clans.
When an assault is launched by the creatures, they reveal the zone they attack.
Age 17: Shadow of the Wild
All military units gain Cloaked ability.

Kröwns.
The clan can trade even with Factions and Clans at war against them.
When Cloaked on a neutral faction zone, units degrade the relationship between the faction and enemy clans.

Attack Power by +1% (Max: 20%).
This bonus is doubled during the first 5 seconds of combat.
Shield Wall (Shield Bearer forge upgrade)
Unit 
defense is increased by 40% when receiving the first attack in combat (rather than when the combat engages in the zone).
Cloaked
Units cloaked among wild creatures consume 50% less
Food.
Marketplace
It is now possible to buy the smallest amount of each resource at the Marketplace.
Mines
Ore extraction now functions with a gauge system. Miners increase the gauge, when full, 1 Ore is extracted at once from deposit and added to the clan resources (This is to avoid the problem of 0,5 ore being extracted from deposits, and deposits giving 14 ores total instead of 15 for example).
Dwarves
Dwarves when in good relations with a clan now just give one type of Ores (Stone or Iron) - randomly selected at the start of each game - The ores they sent players are extracted from the deposits on their territory. Eliminating the faction will allow a clan to colonize the zone to exploit the remaining resources.
Scouting
There is now a maximum scouting time for a zone. On big and huge maps, time required to scout the farthest zones are thus decreased.
