Though the Reborn Night is just one of the clans in the Collective, the Collective is one of the most influential. As Zenon’s own clan, they have run into every other clan on the planet at some point or another in his journey to create unity. As a result they tend to have a higher than usual level of skill, power, and wealth, then most other clans. Since the full unification however they have mostly stayed in their own residences except on individual matters.
* Notable Assets:
The main occupants of Dathomir City
Rancor cave
Like most clans have put in and recieved from Venas Mor the official company of Dathomir.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
* Hierarchy: [ Most groups have a chain of command. Briefly describe how your group operates or list the levels of hierarchy. ]
Chief Warlock/Witch Mother. Normally this would be the witch that leads the clan, typically one of both power and knowledge but not always the oldest even if it is common. The title Chief Warlock was only created due to Zenon’s taking of the position.
Witch Elders: Individuals of enough age and knowledge to be considered wise and usually powerful. Witch Elders often do not officially actually actively participate in their clans but only will aid if attacked, answer questions from individuals, or do things of their own accord. They are not required to do anything but are still respected, and most would give over authority to them.
Shamans/Witches: Though this position has been mostly called Witch Commander in the Warclan (official military) this is the position of individuals fairly powerful in magick who may or may not have actual authority, they usually are respected and will command others.
NightSisters: A majority of the females fight into this category. They are all of relatively equal rank, though there have been times where some are given authority over others even without any extra title.
Nightbrothers: Most any male fits into this category. They are commanded by the women, though under Zenon’s rule are given slightly more respect. And if given the authority, could command a nightsister, but probably not any higher.
“Chief:” An unofficial title the Nightbrothers give to one of their own who leads them. Usually the best warrior among them.
Warlocks: Another unofficial title, this is one given to the men who have been taught Magick for one reason or another. They technically have the same rank as the Brothers. Though may be given more respect.
* Membership:
The Reborn Night is not the smallest group on Dathomir but it is not the largest either. It has a somewhat growing population of around
The Female members of the clan are required to tame or defeat a powerful beast, often times this is a Rancor, in order to prove their worthiness to be truly considered a member. The men are not so heavily forced, however most of the Nightbrothers do a similar path with hunting, it only helps them gain respect among each other. However as the men have essentially no authority, the clan does not seem to require it of them. When a Nightsister carries out this trial, they may be prayed over by others, often are gifted with a Nightsister Force Crystal or have one placed on their forehead for a time.
For those attempting to join, things can be a bit more difficult. As they may be untrustworthy of outsiders. It can be done, though they may suffer more trials than born members. And outsiders of the planet itself would likely need to prove themselves even further.
* Climate:
The Reborn Night is still a very warrior like culture, and matriarchal in spite of having a male leader. Most men accept this, most women don’t even think about it as any more then a way of life. Because of their very warrior like culture, there aren’t many individuals who are not physically capable. As they actively have, non deadly usually, conflicts amongst each other or for hunting. The Brothers often fight amongst each other for sport as well. And the women are expected to tame a great beast, which is often a Rancor. So weaklings end up weeded out. For those that do continue, there is a strong sense of bond between one another. As a result there’s almost no such thing as someone who’s alone or unknown. There is a tendency for them to stay near their own area, even if there is more territory owned by the clan. And as a result, when others do venture out, they often meet up with many of those of the location they went to in order to properly greet them all and so they can all become familiar again.
* Reputation:
Most of the Reborn Night are kept at arm's length. As they were created from the Nightsisters, they are still viewed with a rather concerned view. Mysterious, dangerous, and cult like. However, their skills are kept in mind, as the Reborn Night is still considered one of the more elite warrior cultures with mystical abilities. And as a result have been sought out for their members skills.
* Curios:
There is no requirement to possess any item or symbol to prove their membership, especially since they are all so closely bonded. However it is common to find the women carrying Nightsister Force crystals
* Rules:
They have a very strong belief in clan loyalty, above all else, what matters is the survival and well being of their family. Being based on a warrior culture however, those who are incapable of fighting or aiding the clan, are not truly deemed necessary to protect, though it is allowed and some may. But since they are so war like, it is likely that they will not die in bed.
The Reborn Night doesn’t truly believe in marriage in the way other worlds do. Mating is essentially up to the women as to who they wish, most of the men simply go along with it. It is however allowed for the men to refuse, though it may be uncommon unless they are particularly irritated by one. But otherwise, there are essentially no rules enforced. Though it is typical to only have one mate at a time.
Though not enforced, most of the Reborn Night worship, or respect at least, the Spirits. Some see the Fanged God and Winged Goddess as those they should worship. But many have come to simply worship the spirits in general, as almost a whole entity of its own.
* Goals:
The Reborn Night doesn’t exactly have a goal of its own. It is a clan and will protect itself and act as it sees fit. Since it is a part of the Collective, it shall also assist the Collective.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Reborn Night was in fact formed from members of the very clan Mother Talzin lead, The Nightsisters. After their near annihilation at the hands of General Grievous, some members returned together and over time began to seek back the old ways of the Nightsisters, initially calling themselves the Nightsisters Reborn. Which ultimately ended up shortened merely to the Reborn Night. Though they began relatively slow, due to being short of members, they were able to discover their gifts of the past from each other and records and collectively recreate the Nightsisters to their former power. Though the lack of Mother Talzin and Daka certainly took a toll on them.
They drifted back and forth in power for the next few hundred years but steadily growing in number. They went underground more than once to avoid disasters, hiding themselves however the needs were.
By around the year 881 ABY after the loss of the Clan Mother at the time, Zenon took her place proclaiming himself the Chief Warlock in the time as he felt it was necessary that he do so until the world of Dathomir was secure in its own safety. And to do that, he first had to take control. This resulted in the Reborn Night having had confrontations with various other clans during his unification, though not all, as at times negotiations were held that ended without bloodshed, or at least not much usually. This also meant when the time came for the plane to have a military force, it was the Reborn Night that headed the field, and was one of the main clans in its numbers, occasionally teaching others who were not efficient enough to their liking so that they too could join.
Now the Reborn Night stands as one of the more successful clans as a result of their heavy influence in the Collective, and hold of some important locations. Even now they still put their dead in husks, so that one day, if necessary, they can be called forth to battle to defend their sisters.
