Each clan occupies and rules a province of Dal Ria-da. Clan Uscias rules Findais, Clan Simias rules Murias, Clan Esias rules Gorias and Clan Morfessa rules Falia. Each clan has seven septs, with one sept, which just belongs to the said clan, and the other six septs that have ties with the other clans. Each Clan rules from a citadel of the same name as the province they rule, this is the hub of society and where every person in the province lives.

Military: The organization of the Dal Ria-dans' military power is comprised of bands of warriors of 3000 men called the Fiana. Each of the provinces has one Fian. The fian patrol the province to keep down bandits and Coblyns. Many of the fian are champions that have been trained at the school of Scathach. The School of Scathach mainly trains the men in single combat for challenges, which each of the Fian will issue to their enemy. This isn't much good against creatures who attack in force.
